For our next guest, Roxanne Francis, her journey to becoming a therapist is a compelling narrative of transformation and purpose. Initially immersed in the field of biochemistry in the Caribbean, her path took a significant turn after moving to Canada and witnessing pressing social issues during a return visit to her home country. Driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact, Roxanne pivoted to social work, dedicating herself to providing therapy for underserved parents and children at a family agency. Her experiences highlighted the profound effects of trauma and fueled her passion, ultimately leading her to establish her own therapy practice to create a more supportive environment for both clients and therapists.
