Shannon Frank-Richter, LMFT, LPCC, NCC
I’m a Board Certified National Clinical Counselor (NCC 1731260), a California and Nevada Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA LMFT 132811 & NV LMFT 4795-R), a California and Oregon Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (CA LPCC 13267 & OR LPC C8801), and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington (WA LMHC 61550035).
I have years of experience in treating clients with presenting issues ranging from relational turmoil to trauma. My clinical orientation is humanistic and person-centered in practice and I operate from an attachment theory lens. Very especially, I love to work with individuals, couples, and family members who are neurodivergent or have loved ones with neurodivergence.
I am passionate about the physical and psychological health benefits linked with exposure to nature. Research shows that even brief immersion into nature can decrease depressive symptoms and improve cognition and emotional regulation. I believe that including negative ions from nature is part of a best practices method in holistic healing that transcends to all life domains.
Personally, I wear and have worn many hats in life: wife, mother, ex-wife, single mother, stepmother, and special needs caregiver. Each of these roles influence my authentic understanding during these life milestones, transitions and challenges. Although it is difficult to see in the moment, these experiences can become positive evolutions in healing and self-discovery.
