Getting to know Frances Walker
Hi there, I'm Frances!
I am a seasoned therapist with 35 years of experience providing caring approaches to help you heal life’s hurts and restore hope. I provide a safe place to explore obstacles you face. We work as a team to help you achieve the outcome you desire. Life can bring challenges that seem difficult to overcome, or you may feel stressed, anxious, depressed, or angry. Work can be overwhelming, relationships strained, and communication difficult. Maybe you have lost a loved one or your marriage has failed. It helps to find a safe place to talk about these things. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC).
My education includes a Bachelor’s, Master’s in Counseling, and an Education Specialist (EdS) degree from Georgia State University. I completed my internship at Metro Atlanta Recovery, enriching my clinical experience.
My approach
I work with each client individually. I am eclectic, using predominantly a Cognitive Behavioral Approach with a Humanistic philosophy that each person is born with gifts and strengths to navigate life’s journey. Sometimes we hit obstacles, and that is where therapy comes in. We work as a team to identify roadblocks and draw upon your unique strengths to find tools to restore you to wholeness.
My focus
I work with individuals, couples, and families. I address issues including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, marital discord, intimacy skills, grief, gender identity, childhood abuse and trauma, trauma bonding, and substance use. Over 35 years, I have worked with most issues. If your concerns are beyond my skills, I will let you know and help find an appropriate referral.
My communication style
Client-centered. You will find a safe, comfortable environment of unconditional positive regard and helpful exchanges to help you restore hope, grow, and heal.
My journey to mental healthcare
I knew in high school that I wanted to work in the helping field.
