About me
I am aware, present. I strive to be genuine in the work that I do. I intend to be useful to the clients that I serve.
Hello, I'm Frank. I approach therapy from an eclectic perspective, drawing from a range of techniques to best meet your unique needs. My work is insight-driven, and my aim is to assist you in developing a deeper understanding and acceptance of the world and the experiences we encounter. I use both cognitive and experiential techniques to aid in this task, tailoring my approach to what will be most effective for you.
I have been a licensed counselor for over ten years. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with both individuals and families, helping them navigate through various challenges. My primary areas of focus include depression, anxiety, chronic mental illness, and substance abuse. Additionally, I specialize in working with issues related to addiction, anger management, bipolar disorder, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, grief and bereavement, PTSD, intimate and romantic relationships, learning disorders, stress, trauma, life transitions, and sex/intimacy issues.
We all deal with things differently, and I believe that even the slightest moment of insight can make a big difference. My goal is to help you, if you are willing to invest the time and effort required, to see meaningful change in your life. Working together, we can explore your thoughts and feelings, uncover patterns, and develop strategies to help you move forward.
If you're ready to take the first step towards a deeper understanding and acceptance of yourself and your experiences, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to create the change you seek.
