Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but I strive to make the process easier by creating a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of experience, I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next steps, I offer a practical, down-to-earth approach that meets you where you are.My clients appreciate that I'm genuine, nonjudgmental, and easy to talk to. Therapy with me is a collaboration—I’m here to help you process emotions, untangle patterns, and build strategies that make sense for your life. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and we’ll work together to create a plan that aligns with your needs and goals. I also understand the complexities of identity, relationships, and navigating life’s pressures, especially for young to middle aged adults who are juggling careers, personal growth, and interpersonal dynamics. If you’re feeling unseen, unheard, or just need space to sort things out, you don’t have to do it alone.

We were never taught how to be in a relationship. Yes there are tons of books of how to, however to put them to practical use can be very difficult. If you want to be in a relationship that last 50 yrs then communication and empathy has to be at the core of a successful partnership. This can also relate to a relationship with a family member, friends or co-workers. Sometimes our own mental health can influence all of our relationships, and you may need coping techniques for anxiety and or depression type symptoms.

I am a psychologist and offer services via telehealth for individuals. Problems come from a network of experiences. In our work together, we will investigate these problems: where they come from, how they are supported, what they may be telling you, how you learned from these problems, ways they can be negotiated, and times when they are not present. Nothing is wrong with you. You are simply dealing with problems the best way you know how. As we explore the problems, you will find fresh perspectives and build alternative ways of responding that enable you to build better relationships and handle problems with increased flexibility. I am an interactive therapist working with you to develop and experience more confidence, focus, and motivation to meet life’s changing demands. I help people who are doing ok on the outside figure out, and understand, why they might feel so overwhelmed on the inside. You can gain insight and clarity and increase your ability to navigate life transitions, anxiety, fear, depression, and/or traumatic experiences that have impacted your quality of life.

Seattle, CA - Accepting clients in CA

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.

Goleta, CA - Accepting clients in CA

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, and I work with adults who’ve spent a long time trying to be who others needed them to be—often at the expense of their own sense of self. Many of my clients are navigating the impact of relationships or belief systems that left them feeling small, unsure, or disconnected yourself. I offer a warm, grounded space to sort through what’s been inherited, what’s been internalized, and what no longer fits—so you can start listening to yourself with more trust and clarity.

Your life is changing, and you’re not sure why you’re not handling it better. In my work with clients, I’ve seen that even good changes can make usually well-adjusted people struggle with day-to-day stress that didn’t seem to be a challenge in the past. I’ve worked with people who struggle with communicating emotions, prioritizing themselves, or feeling like their best is not good enough. If you feel like you can identify with those experiences and are not sure how to change things, I’d love to work with you.
