Allie Frank
Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Scott Balderson
I work with couples and individuals ranging in issues of anxiety, depression, grief/loss, self-esteem, relationships, and parenting. My own life challenges, and the work I have done to heal, have afforded me the ability to be present and sit with people in their pain and struggles. I have a natural inclination to seek out deep connection with people which informs my work with clients. This can help my clients in forming deeper connections with others, outside of the room. I work with couples to strengthen their connection, deepen intimacy, and find their voice within the partnership.
I am engaged, authentic, and direct, often asking pointed questions that encourage my clients to delve deeper than they have before. I help clients disentangle unhelpful coping strategies put into place long ago that once served a purpose but may not be helpful anymore. I use my innate attunement, empathy, and humor to work collaboratively with clients.
I will meet whatever you bring into my office with compassion, sensitivity, and never judgment. You might feel broken, but I will hold that with you while working together to help you feel safe and whole.
