Founder
Dr. Frances Mathieu, PysD, LICSW
Born in Brooklyn, NY, raised in Lynn, MA, and a child of Haitian immigrants, Frances Mathieu graduated from William James College with her doctoral degree in Organizational Psychology. She earned her Master of Social Work degree from Clark Atlanta University where she graduated with honors. Her undergraduate degree is from St. John’s University, where she obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and minored in Sociology and International Studies. At the moment, you can find her recently published book "The Correlation Between Depression and Acculturation, Amongst Haitian Americans Immigrants" on Amazon.
Ms. Mathieu currently serves as the Associate Director of Behavioral Health at Pine Street Inn. Much of her style is influenced by her upbringing. Adrienne Paul Consulting and Services is named after her late grandmother Adrianne Paul who was born in Ti Bouk Portmagot, Haiti, and worked on her land as a farmer to provide for her children. She would say things like “Si bef te konn fos yo, majoral pa ta lanse yo” meaning if you know your inner strength there is a lot you can overcome. Dr. Mathieu’s work is a culmination of academic research, an Afrocentric prospective, and lived experience.
