My specialty is working with children and teens striving to manage a variety of issues in the areas of anxiety and depression. My career in counseling started as a crisis counselor working with suicidal clients, and most of my career has focused on self-harm and suicide , which also includes issues with adjustment and substance abuse. My goal is to help you learn how to manage these challenges, to help you overcome obstacles, so that you can be successful in anything you choose to do.

Do you find yourself struggling to help your child? Feeling frustrated? My name is Kaitlin Frankart and I am a licensed social worker. I have 7 years of experience in the field, the last 5 years servicing adolescents with mental health and behavioral health issues.

I have been in the helping field for over 15 years. My background consists of working with anxiety, OCD, bipolar, substance abuse/dependence, crisis intervention, trauma, suicide , and grief. I understand that it’s often difficult to seek help when you have issues, but I am here to reduce your anxieties and provide you with a caring ear. So many times people just need someone to listen and validate what it is that they are feeling. Together we can work on the issues that keep you tied in knots. I also work with couples and families to learn better communication and resolve conflicts, as well as work through deep seated issues.

I offer an active, evidence-based treatment style. When an individual comes for treatment, we start with an in-depth assessment and develop a collaborative treatment plan that addresses the individual's personal goals. Many of my clients show significant improvements quickly as I tend to use a short-term therapy model. These rapid improvements are possible because they take an active role in treatment and incorporate interventions outside of sessions. I specialize in anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD and other trauma disorders, chronic pain, sleep issues and coping with chronic health conditions.

I see many people who feel their lives are out of control. I know that they have been deeply wounded and need gentle treatment.

Healing is hard work, but is well worth the struggle. However, you should not have to do it alone. Take the first step and seek help, from someone. It shouldn't have to be this hard.

Our lives can get extraordinarily challenging and burdensome at times, and we may struggle to cope with the things that are being thrown our way. That can lead to various difficulties and affect our ability to enjoy our lives.

But, with time as we work together, my goal is to support you in your process toward healing and growth.
