Serving People Where They Are
Faith-Based, In-Home & Facility-Based Services
Dr. Michael Francis, Ph.D., is a Board Certified Christian Counselor whose work is distinguished by his longstanding service to religious communities and his commitment to making counseling and personal guidance accessible beyond the traditional office setting. Recognizing that each individual’s circumstances are unique, he provides services in environments that respect personal preferences, accommodate mobility and transportation challenges, and support comfort, privacy, and dignity.
Through established relationships with churches and other religious institutions, Dr. Francis offers faith-based counseling in familiar community settings whenever practical. His preference is to meet individuals and families within their own religious communities, where their beliefs, relationships, and sources of spiritual support can be incorporated into the counseling experience. When a religious institution is unable to accommodate appointments for its parishioners or members of the surrounding community, Dr. Francis can arrange to meet clients at one of his offices in the appropriate service region.
For individuals who cannot easily travel to an office, Dr. Francis provides private counseling and personal guidance in their homes, as well as in nursing homes, medical facilities, and other residential care settings, subject to facility policies and individual circumstances. These services are particularly valuable for older adults, individuals with limited mobility, and those whose health or transportation needs make conventional appointments difficult. By bringing his services directly to the individual, Dr. Francis helps reduce barriers to receiving personalized attention and ongoing support.
Dr. Francis is also known throughout Riverside County for his in-home environmental consultations, which address the relationship between household conditions and personal well-being. These consultations help individuals and families recognize potential concerns involving indoor air and water quality, moisture and possible mold, ventilation, lighting, noise, and general household safety. His objective is to provide practical guidance that supports healthier, safer, more comfortable, and more sustainable living environments. Concerns requiring specialized testing, technical inspection, or corrective work are referred to appropriately qualified professionals.
Whether serving clients within their religious communities, welcoming them into a private office, visiting their homes or care facilities, or helping them improve their living environments, Dr. Francis approaches each engagement with the same commitment to individualized attention, professional discretion, and practical guidance. His services are designed to meet people where they are, both in their personal circumstances and in the environments in which they live.
