Mental Health Services in Idaho That Support the Whole You

At Franson Mental Health, Brenda Franson provides compassionate mental health services in Idaho through secure telehealth. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, or emotional overwhelm, you’ll receive support that is personal, practical, and grounded in your real-life needs.

Psychiatric Evaluations and Diagnosis

Every mental health journey begins with understanding. I offer comprehensive psychiatric assessments to explore your symptoms, personal history, and current concerns. Together, we clarify diagnoses and build a care plan that supports your goals and lifestyle.

Medication Management for Anxiety and Mood

When medication is appropriate, I offer options that support mood, anxiety, sleep, and overall well-being. My approach is “start low, go slow,” with regular check-ins to monitor how you’re feeling and adjust the plan as needed. You’re always in control of your care.

Therapy for Idaho Adults

Using CBT and DBT-informed techniques, I offer skills-based therapy to help you manage stress, anxiety, mood swings, and burnout. Sessions may include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools
  • Emotional regulation strategies
  • Boundary-setting practice
  • Goal-oriented coaching and support

Chronic Illness and Pain Support Programs

Since 2010, I’ve led evidence-based workshops designed to empower adults living with chronic health conditions or pain. These 6-week programs help you:

  • Manage fatigue, stress, and physical symptoms
  • Set realistic, achievable goals
  • Improve daily energy, sleep, and motivation
