Fran Bigman

As a mental health coach at Prospera, I am committed to providing the compassionate, culturally-informed support you need and deserve, whether you’re trying to conceive, pregnant, or adjusting to life with a(nother) baby. As a city dweller, I also understand the particular challenges of raising children in chaotic, metropolitan areas. Through empathetic listening and personalized guidance, I will help you set meaningful goals and practice coping strategies. Most importantly, I will support you unconditionally as you navigate the challenges in your life and work toward positive change.
