Counselling
Your mental and emotional health are just as important as your physical health, and PWP is here to help. We offer non-crisis, short term counselling for people with Parkinson’s, their care partners, and family. One-on-one and group sessions are available.
MEET DR. LINDA FRANCHI
Dr. Franchi brings an incredible breadth of experience and passion to PWP, and we are honoured to have her join our team providing care to people with Parkinson’s across the region.
After three decades serving the Deaf and hard of hearing communities in a variety of leadership and counselling capacities in Vancouver, British Columbia, Linda relocated to Victoria in 2020.
She holds a PhD from Simon Fraser University, examining accessible communication, family and community relationships and end of life care. She is a certified Death Doula and Advance Care Planner.
Inspired by the human spirit’s ability to transcend enormous challenges and achieve monumental success when quality, accessible services are created and delivered in communities of caring, Linda strongly believes that life is best when we feel connected to ourselves, each other and our communities. She strives to assist her clients in creating and sustaining those connections.
In her spare time, Linda and her family can be found in the garden with their honey bees or out exploring their new community or playing pickle ball. Her family always finds time for a little beauty and laughter which they share with their two furry dog elders, Frida and Sukha, who never fail to entertain.
