Getting to know Frances Morken

I am a compassionate therapist specializing in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), helping clients build balance, resilience, and emotional clarity. Grounded in warmth and authenticity, I prioritize strong rapport and genuine validation to create a safe, collaborative space for growth. My approach blends evidence-based DBT techniques with an intuitive understanding of each client’s unique experiences, empowering them to develop skills, strengthen relationships, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients can expect a warm welcoming environment that is their space to learn, grow, and express themselves in a safe non-judgemental space. I have over 20 years experience in the mental health field and 15 years experience in private practice. I have also spent my entire post-graduate career on DBT skill development as a clinician.
