About Kwesi Franco

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been working in this field for over 24 years. I have a Masters Degree from Georgia State University and The Psychological Studies Institute. I have also garnered a Specialist degree from Georgia State University. I have worked in a multitude of settings and I am well prepared to help you with your specific needs. The counseling process is a safe place where you can grow in areas of your life and come to a greater sense of well-being over time. I come from an Adlerian and Cognitive Behavioral background. From our time together we will look at core thoughts and beliefs and beliefs that you have exhibited throughout your life. We will examine how these patterns have affected you in the past and how they are affecting you now. We will also process where these patterns may have come from and how they may have formed.

I want you to know that counseling is a process of self-discovery and you are the one in charge of the path that we go. I will be a guide assisting you along this path and encouraging you to push deeper so that you can reach the goals that you have stated. The pace will be up to you but be reminded that you will get out what you are willing to put into the process. I truly do look forward to working with you on this journey and speaking to you in future sessions.

“It was perfect!!!! Word can’t explain my satisfaction”

“Kwesi is one of the best therapist's I've ever had. He listens, remembers, and is extremely thoughtful in therapy.”

“Kwesi Franco has been amazing. We have met with him twice so far and have learned so much about ourselves and each other. He is very knowledgeable about the differences in my husband’s and my upbringing and can speak to both experiences and gives us clarity on how to communicate with one another. I would recommend anyone to meet with Kwesi Franco.”

“Kwesi is a great therapist. A great listener and extremely supportive and understanding. He’s able to give good advices and feedback on my current problems.”

“Awesome Gentle!”

“I found Kwesi immediately likable, down-to-earth, and relatable. It took just a few minutes to settle in and begin to get comfortable opening up. More importantly though, I was struck and impressed from our very first session by how intuitive he is. He very quickly picked up on characteristics and dynamics that are at the heart of the issues. He was able to help us find the first glimmer of hope we’d experienced in a long time - in our first session! Now that we’re several sessions in, I can say from my experience that I appreciate and enjoy Kwesi’s style and approach. I’d recommend him without reservation.”

“Very down to earth and easy to communicate with.”

“Kwesi has been incredibly helpful to me and my partner during the past year we have worked with him. He has helped me better understand the reasons for my behavior as well as my partners. He always has incredible insight into whatever problem we are struggling with and has given us many exercises that can easily be understood and practiced. I really enjoy talking with him and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking couples or individual therapy. He will give you techniques and exercises to reframe the problems you are having and the approaches you can take to help make them better that have the potential to be very impactful.”

“Kwesi is the first therapist I’ve had and he’s top notch. Great experience every time.”

“Kwesi is great! This is our first time trying counseling and trying ReGain. Kwesi was very quick to connect with us, build rapport and create a safe space. He is knowledgeable, quick with a laugh, and ready with concrete steps for us to take. Thanks for being a great relationship coach, Kwesi!”

“Always understanding”

“Kwesi listens and ask insightful questions that help understand my emotions. He offers solutions to situations and understands cultural diversity background.”

“I had been skeptical about the benefits of counseling for years, and instead read books and talked to trusted friends about issues I was dealing with. But counseling is already helping me so much more. Kwesi helped me see something I had been overlooking, and he supported me right away, and helped me gain better insight into my situation and therefore empower me at the very first visit.”

“Kwesi Franco demonstrates sensitivity when talking, and he's ready to listen and help one find useful and productive solutions for self care and communication.”

“Kwesi has been a great counselor for us. He is extremely caring, a great listener, and has a huge array of tools that are extremely valuable in learning to understand one's own behavior as well as someone else's. In the short amount of time that we've worked with Kwesi, we've grown a lot as couple, and as people, and also have become more aware of the places we need to grow, and how we might work to get there. I would recommend that anyone looking for someone easy to talk to, who would definitely have some great feedback, to seek the guidance of Kwesi.”
