Liliana Frandsen, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

I’m passionate about helping clients navigate difficult experiences and find a deeper sense of self. I work with people moving through relationship issues, life transitions, grief, relational trauma, creative blocks, spirituality, and spiritual exploration. I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community. I support queer, lesbian, bi, and trans-identifying adults and adolescents in individual, couples and group settings, focusing on issues ranging from identity, gender exploration, sexuality and relationships to resilience. I’m passionate about continuing the process of decolonizing mental health therapy and my work is affirmative and grounded in a queer, social justice lens. My published research explores creativity as a tool to foster posttraumatic growth. With my background in the arts, I’m attuned to the unique challenges faced by creative individuals and partnerships. Clients come to me for support with creative blocks, navigating industry challenges, financial insecurity and refining their creative voice. I engage with clients through empathy, humor, and creativity to foster a supportive, collaborative environment. In our work together, my approach with each individual and relationship is unique and I draw from multiple therapeutic methods to offer support that is holistic and deeply personalized.
