I am energetic, fun-loving, and charismatic. As a therapist, you will find me to be open, honest, encouraging, compassionate and supportive. My passion is to help all my clients explore their unique individuality, inspire them to discover their strengths and happily embrace their challenges. As a mother of teenagers, I understand and empathize with the struggles that all parents and children are facing as they try to navigate through these confusing, chaotic, ever-changing years. I provide a warm, non-judgmental, safe environment where individuals, teens, families, and parents can feel comfortable to be themselves. Here, they can explore their feelings and emotions in order to help empower change. I am a teacher, but I also listen and am able to challenge and help my clients grow into healthy, loving, happy, responsible individuals. For those who might be looking to integrate Christian faith and spirituality, I am in tune with that perspective. However, I also respect those who choose to keep psychotherapy separate from faith.

I am a warm, collaborative therapist who is passionate about helping people feel more understood, supported, and empowered in their lives. I work with clients to navigate stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and emotional overwhelm by combining evidence-based approaches with a compassionate, personalized style. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences openly, gain insight into patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical tools to support lasting change and emotional resilience. I integrate approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused strategies to help clients build self-awareness, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and move toward meaningful, achievable goals. I value collaboration and meet clients where they are, recognizing that therapy is not one-size-fits-all and that each person’s journey is unique. I also have a strong interest in working with athletes, particularly those navigating major transitions such as career-ending injuries. I understand how deeply identity, purpose, and emotional well-being can be impacted when an athletic career changes or comes to an unexpected end. I support athletes in processing grief, rebuilding confidence, redefining identity beyond sport, and creating a renewed sense of direction and fulfillment. My approach emphasizes resilience, self-compassion, and helping clients reconnect with their strengths as they move forward into the next chapter of their lives.

I am a therapist who is deeply committed to understanding the “why” behind my clients’ experiences. I work with individuals and couples who are navigating trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, racial stressors, self-esteem struggles, and the quiet weight of daily burdens that can leave a person feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. In my work, I use intentional, reflective techniques that help clients reach deep within to uncover who they were before trauma, disappointment, and life’s obstacles began to shape their narrative. I believe healing begins when a person feels safe, secure, and genuinely cared for. From that place of safety, we are able to rediscover identity, restore confidence, and reconnect with purpose. I empower my clients to move beyond limiting beliefs that keep them small and instead step into the greatness they were always meant for. Much of the sorrow many of us carry stems from a longing to truly know ourselves, trust ourselves, and believe we are worthy. My role is to walk alongside each person with humility and curiosity, honoring their unique story while helping them strengthen their voice, build self-trust, and create meaningful change in their lives and relationships. Whether working with individuals seeking personal growth and life satisfaction, or couples striving to find their relationship voice and reconnect with one another, I strive to create a therapeutic space where healing is possible, resilience is nurtured, and transformation becomes sustainable.

I’m Steven Frank. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), licensed in California and living in Seattle, Washington. The way the law works is that if I have a California license, I can live outside of California, but can only work with California residents. For that reason, all my work is perforyemed online through telehealth. I see primarily adults and seniors in my practice and while I work mostly withindividuals, I will also see couples when needed. I’ve been licensed since 1983 but actually began to “grow” a private practice beginning in 1990. While most of my experience has been with clients dealing with depression and anxiety, over the last 4-5 years I’ve been more focused on the treatment for symptoms of trauma and abuse. I’ve been trained in EMDR (a specific treatment for trauma), and will use that method as needed, when appropriate, and with your understanding of the process, and consent. By the way, my first job experience (before beginning my schooling for the MFT license), was in the California State Hospital system as a psychiatric technician. I was a member of a hospital inpatient treatment team that treated people with severe mental disorders. This was excellent training for working with clients who are seeking help, but on an outpatient basis.

Many of the people I work with are capable, high-achieving, and used to getting things done, yet feel emotionally exhausted, on edge, or stretched too thin inside.

I’m thoughtful about cultural identity, family dynamics, and the quiet pressures many people carry, especially when they’ve been expected to stay strong for a long time.

I have served our community since 2012 by assisting adults, children, and couples with varying life experiences in gaining clarity, perspective, and resolution. The world can be a stressful place at times, and having a safe, trustworthy, and supportive therapist can help ease our stress as we navigate the challenges of life. I have found throughout my life that people express feeling comfortable sharing their thoughts, emotions, distress, and highs of life with me. My professional experiences include serving children and adults with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, gender and sexual orientation-related stressors (LBGTQIA+), eating disorders, body dysmorphia, childhood onset trauma, sexual abuse, developmental delays, severe mental illness, criminogenic behaviors (also while incarcerated), military Veterans and their families, survivors and aggressors of Intimate Partner Violence, and anger management difficulties. I openly embrace people of all various backgrounds and beliefs. I believe that our world is only enriched by these differences that make us unique individuals, and we can all contribute to making this world a better place by practicing kindness to all, starting with being kind to ourselves.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 18 years of experience helping adults and couples work through anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions. My style is warm, real, and supportive, the kind of space where you can take a breath, be yourself, and not feel judged. I work collaboratively, pulling from CBT, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and person-centered approaches to support your goals. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just need someone steady to talk things through, we’ll move at your pace and figure it out together. Therapy can feel like a big step, I’m here to make it feel less intimidating and more like a real, healing connection.

I also need to let you know that I am more interested in finding out why a certain behavior is occurring than I am in demonizing you for exhibiting the behavior. I have worked with a diverse populations and I have learned that therapy has to be personal if it is to be effective.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by California rather than a city like LA?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in California. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Will my therapist take Cigna?

Yes! If you use Cigna you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Cigna you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
