There you are! Hey, I'm Frank and I've been practicing for about 9yrs. In my time, i have worked with children ages 7+ in family and individual therapy focused on things like anxiety, depression, PTSD, family issues, romantic and peer relationship issues, and even career stuff. I have also applied therapy skills in other careers myself and bring a diverse but you-centered perspective on what you're going through and how we can start to untangle it all.
The first few sessions are us getting to know each other, me trying but forgetting much of your friends and families' names, and writing down your pets' names. It might feel a bit awkward but that's totally ok and even expected! Don't sweat it, swear as much as your comfortable, and let me know what you're going through so I'm better equipped to help you through it.
My greatest strengths are I have no weaknesses. Just kidding–I like to think therapy can actually be a bit fun. You're no doubt dealing with a lot and trying to manage it all but I want you to feel comfortable coming in. I think that makes things a bit more energized resulting in a bit more focus on goals.
