Clinical Interns

Francisco Ceccotti is a graduate counseling intern currently pursuing his MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Johns Hopkins University. He previously attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for his undergraduate studies in Psychology and Philosophy. Originally from Argentina, Francisco is bilingual in English and Spanish and values creating a therapeutic space that feels warm, thoughtful, and welcoming to people from all backgrounds.

Francisco’s clinical approach integrates psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), positive psychology, and narrative therapy. He views therapy as a collaborative process where clients can begin to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the experiences that have shaped the way they see the world. He believes that many people come to therapy not only because they are hurting, but because they are searching for meaning, direction, connection, or a stronger sense of self. His style is reflective, genuine, and grounded in curiosity, encouragement, and respect for each person’s story.

In addition to his clinical training, Francisco has experience in crisis intervention through his work with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, where he supported individuals experiencing emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and moments of acute crisis. He is particularly interested in working with clients navigating anxiety, perfectionism, life transitions, identity concerns, relationship difficulties, and questions related to purpose, belonging, and personal growth.

Francisco believes therapy is not simply about reducing symptoms, but about helping people feel more connected to themselves and to their lives. He strives to create a space where clients feel heard without judgment, understood with compassion, and supported as they explore difficult emotions, patterns, and experiences at their own pace.
