Francesca Wehr, LCSW
Mental health counselor for people of all ages
I’m Francesca Wehr, LCSW, a compassionate and experienced therapist dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families heal from trauma, anxiety, and depression. As the founder of Francesca Wehr, LCSW Mental Health Counseling, I’ve worked in private practice, non-profits, and New Jersey’s System of Care, providing personalized, evidence-based support to clients from all walks of life.
I specialize in trauma-focused therapy, blending EMDR, Brainspotting, CBT, mindfulness, and somatic techniques to help regulate the nervous system, process emotions, and build resilience. Our work together will focus on self-regulation to manage triggers and co-regulation for couples, strengthening emotional connection and communication. I also provide psychoeducation to help you make sense of your experiences and develop strategies to support long-term healing.
In addition to my clinical expertise, I’m a certified Nurtured Heart Parent Coach and an NJ School Social Worker, supporting children, adolescents, and families in improving emotional regulation and communication. I also use the Gottman Method to help couples break unhealthy cycles and create deeper, more fulfilling relationships.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, know that change is possible. I provide a supportive space where you can heal, grow, and regain balance.

My journey to therapy
My journey to becoming the therapist I am today has been profoundly shaped by my personal experiences.
As a child, my therapist was a true inspiration. She equipped me with the tools to navigate life's challenges, and this experience motivated me to pursue a career dedicated to providing similar support to others.
Every day, I'm excited to help people grow, become healthier, and feel more in control of their lives. The greatest reward in my profession is the ability to inspire others to realize their full potential.
I am committed to helping you make meaningful strides towards achieving your goals.
My practice is based on the philosophy of putting you first.
At the core of my practice lies the principle of prioritizing your unique needs and experiences. I firmly believe that meaningful change becomes attainable when you grant yourself the opportunity to engage in self-exploration.
By opening up and sharing our stories with someone who listens empathetically and offers understanding, we can alleviate the burden of shame. My commitment is to cultivate a secure and welcoming environment that enables you to be your authentic self.
Recognizing that a "one size fits all" approach falls short in counseling, I strive to tailor our sessions to address your individual needs and concerns, ensuring a personalized therapeutic experience.
