Kristen Francis, LCSW

 

Kristen has enjoyed the past decade making change with individuals and the communities we live in. While engaging clients in therapy she uses a Mindfulness-based approach, encouraging clients to identify thoughts, emotions and physical sensations occurring in the here-and-now, allowing folks to escape from automatic behaviors and shifting into a life filled with intention, purpose and meaning. Over the years, Kristen’s efforts and interests have expanded beyond the therapy office. Kristen has advocated for folks with disabilities, canvassed for progressive government officials and even co-created a short lived street newspaper with the mission to spread awareness of social injustices. Kristen has acted as a clinical consultant for the University of Chicago and has extensive experience within the intersection of criminal justice and substance use. As founder of Logan Square Therapy, she is sublimely happy to practice what she preaches: a Mindfulness based lifestyle.
