FrancineYvonne...
Lover of Fashion + TherapyI am CEO & Owner of CCG Consulting, the parent company for the Atlanta Fashion Showcase (AFS).
I have used my expertise, education, resources, and passion to forge connections that will aid the community and make a global impact.
My passion and love for people drives me to see the big picture and move forward with intention. We each are a unique piece to life's puzzle.
It's my pleasure to connect each person I meet with their adjoining piece.
Just a little more about me…
FrancineYvonne is a Licensed Professional Counselor and creative director of AFS whose ingenuity, determination, and tenacity have earned her the reputation as a compassionate leader. Above all else, I am a mental health advocate with a lifelong mission to impart fellow creative minds with the tools they need to thrive in all areas of their lives. For the last decade, I have served my community as a therapeutic professional. Most recently, I have been offering therapy to creatives due to recent suicides plaguing the industry. I strive to eliminate the mental health stigma once and for all, as well as teach innovators and fashionistas proper self-care. FrancineYvonne has also created and expanded the reach of AFS focusing on fashion industry professionals and lovers of fashion. AFS uses its reach to teach and educate on fashion and style.
- 変わる -
I wear a blue and white Japanese Emperor Butterfly on my right hand with the word 変わる written above it. 変わる is Japanese meaning to be transformed or changed. This is a short science lesson - A butterfly starts as a caterpillar, then forms into a cocoon or engages in metamorphosis before changing into a butterfly. Some of the physical aspects of that caterpillar changes but the essence of it remains. I feel like my entire life is just like that butterfly. Many things change but the essence of who I am remains. All people are able to change and transform and become better versions of themselves, just like a butterfly. As a therapist; I listen, advocate, ask questions and provoke people to think about their lives so that they are able to become better versions of themselves. This is therapy (what it means to me).
What is Fashion + Therapy?
The two passions of my life are fashion + therapy. So then it only made sense to combine my two passions. Interesting enough, I have studied and worked in the areas of Fashion Design, Architecture and Psychology (counseling/therapy). I love them all, but my top 2 are fashion + therapy. My love for fashion evolved into AFS while my love for helping people evolved into me becoming a counselor. Combining the 2, has lead me to use fashion as a tool within therapy sessions. I don’t just use fashion, but all things creative to help Creative people manage their overall mental health and wellbeing.
Therapy is a form of treatment designed to help relieve emotional, behavioral, social and mental health challenges.
Fashion is a creative, artistic expression of self. Fashion includes color, style, personality, evokes various feelings for self and others and is very beautiful.
My love and work in fashion and therapy prompted a new way to to apply therapy that includes creativity and builds confidence, esteem and insight into emotions, relationships, trauma, the beauty of the mind and helping others reach a greater level of happiness in life.
Don’t allow others to dictate who you are and how you express your inner self outwardly or your view of the world.
- Fashion Consultation -
