Shauna Frantz
(she/they)
As a clinician, I'm passionate about integrating the seen with the unseen. Understanding and working with the root issues. Helping you open into more of who you can be. I offer a warm, compassionate place for you to allow (or learn to allow) yourself to be cared for and supported. Embodied, experiential, and present: I work with techniques such as felt sensing and interoception, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed, Energy Psychology, and Emotion Freedom Technique (EFT) tapping, to help you access, understand, and release emotions and stuckness and trauma.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Folks who want to get to the root cause and show up for themselves.
