Chloe Frankel

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience offering individual and family therapy. I have worked with youth ages 3-19 and their families, with a particular passion for supporting foster and adoptive families, LGBTQIA+ youth, and young people with special education needs. As an individual therapist, I have supported adolescents and adults living with the impacts of trauma, substance dependence, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia.

I believe therapy can serve as a holding space for grief, sorrow and righteous anger, as well as a catalyst for intentional changes and new ways of relating to and acting in the world. My style is compassionate, curious, and calm, and my approach includes active listening and reflection, objectivity and accountability, offering new perspectives, and regularly re-visiting and clarifying your wishes and hopes for our work together and for yourself and your life.

Most individuals and families seeking therapy find themselves stuck in patterns or power dynamics that are no longer working, or they are experiencing a loss or a transition that has shaken up old ways of relating. I strive to offer a neutral space in which to navigate pain points or challenges. My aim is to help individuals, couples, families, and communities develop a collective and hopeful vision for the future with clear, actionable steps forward.
