Professional statement

Francesca Rome-Marie is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner trained at Johns Hopkins University. She began her career as a family nurse practitioner working in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan with LGBTQIA+ people in primary care, including HIV prevention and treatment. During this period, she attained HIV-Expert status with the American Academy of HIV Medicine.

Seeing firsthand how frustrated her patients were with fragmented and often demoralizing experiences with other health care providers, particularly in the mental health field, Francesca was motivated to offer something deeply different.

Francesca's conception and implementation of a holistic and integrative approach to mental health and psychiatric care is based on understanding health as a whole-- combining physical, mental, emotional, behavioral, creative, social, spiritual, and various other facets. She also believes this care is not possible without spending time. This comes to bear in each 60 or 90 minute session providing clients with insights and possible actions often missed by other providers with a narrower focus or overfull caseloads.

Francesca integrates medical training with an arts background, as well as studies in world religion and culture undertaken all over the world. She has further experiences and knowledges to draw on including Buddhism, philosophy, psychoanalysis, feminist critiques of reason, and literature. Many creative people appreciate her ability to form connections, use metaphor, and provide understanding based on diverse lived cultural experiences.

Francesca most recently presented work at The Association for Psychoanalysis in Culture and Society (APCS) conference, "Orphans of the Real" (October 2023). Her presentation touched on perspectives of transgender embodiment in psychoanalysis through the lens of David Cronenberg's film "Crimes of the Future" and the work of Paul Preciado. In June 2024, Francesca will deliver a presentation at The 14th Sàndor Ferenczi conference, "Psychoanalysis between Catastophe and Creation: Emerging Perspectives" in São Paolo, Brazil.

Message to clients

First, we will have a free 15-minute consultation to make sure we are a good fit. Then, once we schedule our first session, I will send my specially-designed intake form. Many of my patients find this tool to be very helpful as a reflective exercise that gives insight, as well as allaying some of the nerves associated with “remembering everything."

Our first face-to-face session will be a comprehensive 90 minutes, having already read and processed your submissions in advance, I take the time to further engage with your story. This gives us a great, solid foundation and puts us miles ahead even in the first session. My approach thereafter is a mix of techniques based on your needs and goals— including somatic approaches, “talk therapy,” mindfulness, and other strategies. Somatic work often creates change and transformation even with clients who have had difficulties progressing with talk therapy and/ or medication alone. Meetings typically take place from twice a month, to once or twice weekly.

The best training can only go so far when practitioners see so many patients that they can barely remember each person's situation from session to session. I avoid this by devoting myself to a select and small number of people only. I am passionate about my work and this way of approaching it. Many patients seeking gender-affirming care and understanding of the unique needs of queer and alternate sexual practices have found their way to my practice as well as many people in various creative fields.
