I am currently working on a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy at Northcentral University. I am a LPCC with a private practice. I am dedicated, My only goal is, my clients having the best Mental Health possible. I believe that life happens to everyone, coping with the curveballs, and disappointments of life will determine your quality of life. I'm here to assist and equip you with tools to navigate tough times, If your difficulty requires medication and therapy that is ok, it means you have great introspect and your life can be fulfilling with a little help. I am not the "Best" but I promise to do my "Best"!

I believe in meeting a person where they are at, with the understanding that everybody has had a different life experience. I take a nonjudgmental stance and encourage those I work with to find humor and light, while also validating the hardships they've endured. My goal is to give people I work with support and tools to help them overcome their life challenges and emotionally heal.

Many people struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. They can't find relief for their symptoms, and every aspect of their life is affected. They want to lead a better life for themselves but do not know how. As a professional clinical counselor, I have helped many people find answers and improve their quality of life. My clients describe me as caring and compassionate but also straightforward and action oriented. I help people find and accentuate their strengths while letting them decide what is best for them. I also work a lot with trauma and am trained in EMDR.

My goal is to help you improve your life. I believe that small positive changes compound over time. I will help you to build your toolbox of skills to combat the stresses of life. My approach involves cultivating purpose, focusing on the present, and building skills for the future.

Accepting new clients! My clients have many intersections. I often have clients that resonate with any of the following labels: queer, witchy, spiritual, polyamorous, neurodivergent, rebels, and healers at heart. My clients are ready to put the work in to make positive changes in their life. I love creating spaces for folks to utilize creativity in session and/ or ritual(s), cards, intuitive check-ins, and somatic movement/ expression. I also offer assessments for a letter of support needed for gender affirming surgery.

I specialize in trauma informed treatment and working with LGBTQ+ adolescents and teens who struggle with their mental health. My ideal population is working with clients navigating the issues of adolescence, helping them to navigate their developing identity, and landing at a place of wellness. I enjoy working with families who are working to understand the unique issues that present throughout adolescence.

*IMMEDIATE OPENING ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* No matter what your age, whether you have old wounds or are experiencing new struggles, facing a life altering event, or looking for support to make small changes, I would be honored to hear your story. What I have learned in 30 years of counseling is that all scars are not visible and healing requires one to make a choice between “I can’t” and embracing the possible.

Healing starts the moment you begin to feel someone is listening. Have you been feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or lost? Are you struggling with traumatic experiences, relationship issues, stress at home, stress at work or in your social life? Through the therapeutic process, I can offer insight and skills to allow for hope and healing by helping my clients recognize their own strengths to regain peace within their lives. I have dedicated my work to helping others learn to heal. I am here to offer compassion, understanding and resolution to your most difficult problems.

As a therapist, my goal is to walk my clients through their problems with the goal of obtaining personal growth. I will also support you and teach you tools to better manage your mental health, relationships or whatever else is bothering you.

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 specialize in CBT and SFT and have a wide range of experience from depression, anxiety, ODD, and ADHD as well as suicidal ideation, eating disorders, and substance use.

I specialize in helping individuals & couples cope with anxiety, relationship disconnection, self worth issues, people pleasing behaviors, &/or unresolved past pain. A common reason individuals come to me is because they want help being more authentic or addressing something unresolved from their past. Maybe your story is one of being caught between 2 worlds - what the world or family wants from you and who you want to be? Possibly you are used to supporting others and want someone who will listen to you for a change? Or this strategy of pushing aside issues from your past is leaving you exhausted and breaking down at times.

Let’s face it, life can be stressful! Do you find yourself stuck in a state of worry, feeling hopeless and unable to complete the tasks of daily life, struggling with body image and eating issues, or dealing with a difficult life change? You do not need to face these issues alone! As a licensed professional clinical counselor I work with my clients to help empower them to make the changes needed to get their lives back and become their best selves! I view myself and my client as a team. Together we will work to build awareness, develop healthier skills, and move towards a more fulfilling life.

My ideal client is scared to reach out right now, is scared of being judged, and is nervous that they will get stuck with a therapist who just keeps asking "and how does that make you feel?". I aim to make therapy more approachable so that I can help you live the life you want to (and if you don't know what that is-I'll help with that too!). My goal is to lower your anxiety, process your trauma, and help you become more confident. I want to help you build and sustain healthy relationships and set boundaries in your life. In session, I will help you understand yourself and your past and move forward.
