Franklin is proficient in a number of evidence-based treatment modalities, including motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. He has also been trained in EMDR therapy which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization

and Reprocessing Therapy. This therapy is very effective at addressing memories and negative beliefs from past traumatic experiences. Trauma memories can be difficult for the brain to

process and digest effectively which can lead to an increase in symptoms such as depression, anxiety, sleep problems, avoidance, and other symptoms. EMDR has been shown to be an

effective therapy for addressing those traumatic experiences and reducing associated symptoms
