Hi! I’m glad you’re here.
My name is Frankie Phipps (he/they). I’m a queer, neurodivergent mental health therapist, providing individual and group psychotherapy for clients in California.

Areas of Focus
I’m a queer, neurodivergent counselor, and while I am especially passionate about discussing gender, sexuality, and neurodiversity with clients, I enjoy working on a variety of concerns with clients of any identity or experience. Some other areas that I have experience working with include:
anxiety
depression
trauma
self-esteem
self-harm and suicidal ideation
relationship issues
polyamory
grief & loss
domestic abuse
body positivity
building self-care and coping skills
Working With Me
I primarily see my work through the lenses of person-centered therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and feminist therapy, as well as drawing inspiration from somatic and narrative therapy approaches. My therapeutic style is warm, client-centered, and informed by the need for social justice and liberation in our communities.
Collaborative
Therapy, to me, is a collaborative space where clients are empowered to explore, find their own path, and work towards their goals.
Affirming
Many of my clients are queer (LGBTQIA+), neurodivergent, or both! There are many great things about you that we can recognize, explore, and celebrate together. Therapy with me often includes building self-awareness, practicing validation, and challenging oneself to make desired changes at a realistic pace.
Providing telehealth therapy throughout California
Finding a therapist who fits your needs is an important part of the therapy process. I offer free 15-minute phone consultations to help us determine if we might be a good fit for one another. If you are interested in scheduling a consultation, or if you have any questions, please contact me.
