Dr. Frantzen has truly been a lifeline for me. I’ve been seeing her for depression and anxiety, and her care has been nothing short of exceptional. She’s helped me develop coping mechanisms and her compassionate approach has made me feel genuinely supported every step of the way. I honestly don’t think I would have been able to make the same progress without her expertise and support.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I have the most growth with Dr Frantzen than any other therapist I have worked with. She listens and addresses primary concerns and offers gentle reminders of things that I may want to avoid. She’s patient and thoughtful in her approach while also making sure I’m not being “let off the hook” for things I need to work on. She allows me the space to talk, process and understand why I have many of the reactions that come up.

I have greatly enjoyed my therpay sessions with Dr. Frantzen I have been in grief counseling for the last 3 years and didn't feel like I was getting anywhere with it.
