Frances Bennett, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Frances!

I believe in holistically approaching therapy, crafting treatment based on your own unique needs.

My focus

I am passionate and experienced in working with trauma, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community.

My approach

My approach to therapy is an eclectic mix of theoretical approaches. I am trained in CBT, CPT, ACT, humanistic therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and mindfulness.

My communication style

I do my best to create a warm, trusting, safe space in which vulnerability can blossom. I always strive to be transparent, reflective, and honest with my clients. I value honest feedback, which I believe helps create a positive therapeutic relationship.

My journey to mental healthcare

I fell into the career I have today after having a life-changing experience with therapy as a young adult. Helping others has always been important to me. Simply put, I feel very privileged to love what I do professionally.

My goals for you

Goals are set by my clients, I focus on what is most important to my clients. I strive to collaborate with my clients and ensure we spend our time together on what is most important to them.
