Crosby Franklin, LCSWA, LCAS
she/they
Each person’s path is unique and my goal is to walk alongside you as you follow yours. Whether you’re looking to find new ways of understanding yourself and the world around you, confront and process trauma, build motivation for new habits, explore your unique identities, or learn to manage stress and achieve your goals, I’m here to create a safe, welcoming space for you to do the messy but rewarding work of growing and healing.
While my primary specialties are working with queer clients who are neurodivergent and/or have substance use concerns, my practice is inclusive of a diverse range of experiences, identities, and perspectives. My approach to therapy is grounded in social justice, anti-oppressive practices, harm reduction, and my lived experience with recovery. I find that humor, genuineness, curiosity, and patience are some of the most important things I bring to the therapy relationship. I believe that therapy must be person-centered in order to be effective and I hope to support you in bringing your whole, authentic self not just into the therapy process, but into your life outside of it.
Entering therapy, whether it’s your first time or you’re transitioning to a new provider, requires both courage and trust. I am committed to honoring that trust and working collaboratively with you to help you live a life aligned with your values, purpose, and joy.

Dog's Name:
Lucy (or, depending on who/when you ask: Lucille, Loose Goose, The Goose, Goosey, Lucifer, The Baby, Dancey, Baby Dumps, and too many other names to list!). Lucy is a rescue Boxer that my partner and I adopted in March 2024. -
Favorite Podcasts:
The Sam Sanders Show, Handsome, Betwixt the Sheets -
Favorite TV Show:
Somebody Somewhere. It’s an unfortunately short-lived show about friendship, grief, and finding meaning in the people, places, and things you love. It’s deeply funny, unapologetically queer, and the most authentic show I’ve ever seen.
