My name is Francis Atta. I am a Registered Social Worker with Hello RISE. I have over 15 years of experience working with children, youth, families, and communities. I am committed to making mental health support more accessible, especially for the BIPOC community. Representation matters deeply to me. As a Black man, I understand the impact that seeing yourself reflected in your therapist can have on your healing journey.

My education, lived experience, and professional practice have given me the tools to walk alongside individuals and families through life’s challenges. Beyond therapy, I serve as a program consultant for secondary and post-secondary schools. I deliver mental health workshops and strategies to help educators and organizations support those in their care.

At Hello RISE, my work is personal. It is rooted in purpose, driven by passion, and guided by the belief that everyone deserves access to care that truly sees them.

How I Work With You:

Trauma-Informed Care, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
