Francesca Singleton, LCSW-C, is a therapist and a board approved social work supervisor in Maryland. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Family and Human Services at Towson University and her MSW from University of Maryland, Baltimore. Francesca began her career as an inpatient social worker at Sheppard Pratt while providing mobile crisis response services at BCRI part-time.

Currently, Francesca works full time as a hospice social worker and has also provided individual therapy to adults at Cedar Ridge for the past 6 years. Born and raised in Frederick, Maryland, Francesca has lived in the Baltimore area for the past 10 years. She is passionate about normalizing the experience of mental illness for individuals as a means to fight the stigma still encountered by many in today’s society.
Francesca approaches therapy through an attachment-oriented, client-centered lens and utilizes a blended theory approach to guide specific interventions. Most importantly, Francesca values the therapeutic relationship itself as the catalyst to growth and healing. She is often described by her clients as laid-back, warm, and funny.
Francesca’s areas of experience include: Trauma, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, mood disorders, grief and bereavement, life transitions, domestic abuse, interpersonal conflict, and crisis intervention. She is typically requested for therapy by young adults (18-35) but gladly works with adults of all ages. Francesca has a special interest in working with family members of individuals diagnosed with severe mental illness.
Francesca currently does not have any openings for therapy and does not keep a waitlist.
