CROSBY FRANKLIN, LCSWA, LCASA

Crosby Franklin (she/her/hers, they/them/theirs) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate, Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate, and graduate of the UNC Chapel Hill School of Social Work. At UNC, Crosby received specialized training in substance use and providing trauma-informed behavioral healthcare. Their previous experience includes working with adolescents and families in crisis, being part of a diversion treatment team for substance-using adults in the criminal legal system, and facilitating a harm reduction group. Though Crosby specializes in working with clients with substance use disorders and other addictions, she has worked with clients across a diversity of experiences, identities, and perspectives. Her approach to therapy is rooted in social justice and informed by her own lived experience of recovery. She believes that therapy must be person-centered in order to be effective and hopes to empower clients to bring their whole, authentic selves into not just the therapy process, but also their lives outside of it. Crosby strives to meet clients exactly where and how they are with warmth, curiosity, and patience.
