Good Grades Can hide A lot

Support for high-achieving teen girls who look fine on the outside, and aren't always fine on the inside.

Does Your Daughter...

  • Seem fine at school, then come home irritable, shut down, or emotionally flooded

  • Hold herself to standards no one else is asking for

  • Read a neutral comment as criticism

  • Get overlooked for support because her grades look "fine"

  • Do things out of fear or obligation rather than joy

  • Struggle to ease up on herself, even when you tell her it's okay

If any of this sounds familiar, this page is for her, and for you.

This support can be for her and for you

My name is Char Santos Franz, M.Ed., LMHCA. I've provided counseling services for youth ages 13 to 18 since 2013.

Beyond clinical training in mental health, I bring firsthand experience as a former school counselor and district administrator, so I understand both the school system and the community your daughter moves through.

Healing takes a village. I work alongside a team, including her school advocates, medical providers, and the people who love her, to keep support consistent across every part of her life. Part of my role is making sure everyone rooting for her is communicating with each other.

Together, we'll combine deep introspection with co-created structures that her loved ones and her school can realistically implement.

  • Individual counseling sessions: 45 minutes, $195/session

  • Family counseling sessions to support her healing: 45 minutes, $195/session

  • Support developing school intervention plans and connecting with her school to ensure consistency of care

  • Optional holistic add-on: a nurse practitioner joins the team for additional support

I am an out-of-network provider. Superbills are available upon request for clients seeking reimbursement through their insurance.
