About Françoise Mastroianni
M.S., L.C.P.C., C.C.S.A.S., C.P.T.S., SEP
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with extensive experience in trauma-informed therapy. My expertise includes treating individuals affected by sex addiction, intimacy disorders, and relational trauma. I incorporate a range of therapeutic modalities, including:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Level II Trained – EMDR is an eight-phase, evidence-based therapy that helps process past trauma, reduce dysfunctional emotions, and promote adaptive behaviors for lasting mental health.
Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP)
Based on Dr. Peter Levine’s work, this body-awareness approach helps release stored trauma and supports the nervous system’s natural ability to heal.
Gottman Relational Therapy
Level II Trained – Using the renowned Gottman Method, I help couples identify communication patterns, strengthen emotional connection, and improve conflict management.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Rooted in attachment science and the work of Dr. Susan Johnson, EFT helps couples rebuild trust, deepen intimacy, and create secure emotional bonds.
Additional Expertise
I support families in navigating the difficult process of getting a loved one into treatment for sexual integrity issues.
My workbooks, Spouses of Sex Addicts: Hope for the Journey and Becoming: A Guide to Recovery from Sexual Addiction While Helping Your Partner Trust Again provide tools to navigate the trauma of sex addiction discovery. I have also taught in the Human Services Department at the College of DuPage.
I lead support groups for spouses of sex addicts (Hope for the Heart) and couples in recovery (Breaking Through).
I welcome individuals seeking a compassionate, integrative approach to healing and personal growth. You can view my profile on Psychology Today for more information.
A Message from Françoise
I’m truly honored to welcome you to my website. Writing my latest book, Becoming: A Guide to Recovery from Sexual Addiction While Helping Your Partner Trust Again, was a deeply personal journey. Through this process, I’ve come to understand that recovery and healing in the aftermath of sexual integrity issues is an ongoing journey—one that requires courage, commitment, and an unwavering focus on both today and the future.
As I poured my heart into this book, I realized that my story, along with the stories of the brave individuals who allowed me to share theirs, needed more than just another written resource. While I have no doubt the book will be valuable, I want to offer something more—a space where we can continue the conversation.
This website is designed to be more than just an introduction to my work; it’s a place for connection. Through a blog, a monthly newsletter, videos, and interviews with others walking this journey, my hope is to create a supportive and engaging community. My invitation to you is simple: let’s get to know each other, learn together, and walk this path of healing side by side.
