Dr. Francine B. Baffa, BCBA-D, LICSW

I became a therapist because I believe in the power of relationships. Moved by my own experiences, I wanted to guide others to push past perceived limitations, obstacles, and fear in order to live a full and meaningful life. We all have the ability to grow and change. In our work together, I will help you heal and move forward.

 

In my role at Bellevue Family Counseling, I bring more than 20 years of experience. My clinical experience has taken place in hospitals, inpatient treatment centers, residential treatment facilities, and outpatient clinics. I am a licensed Board Certified Behavior Analyst Doctorate (BCBA-D), and a Master Level Social Worker. I am skilled in group therapy, parent coaching, and family systems work.

 

My current focus is on working with adults over a broad range of diagnoses including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and ASD. A specialty interest includes couples where neurodiversity is part of the relationship cycle. My areas of expertise are Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT). I utilize an integrated, transdiagnostic approach.

 

I love what I do and am committed to helping you define your needs and desires. Therapy is a joint process and our partnership will provide a strong foundation to equip you with self-agency to develop new patterns and create a life closer to your ideal and recalibrate your relationship with yourself and others. Let me assist in navigating you to a new norm.

 

To schedule an appointment, please email me directly.  Let’s get you on a path to creating your best self! I look forward to working with you via a personal telehealth session.

 

I am licensed in Washington State, Virginia and Washington DC.  I am currently offering only teletherapy sessions. Online counseling is conducted using HIPAA compliant software for your confidentiality.
