Frank Ehrenfried operates his practice out of California, extending a realistic and understanding approach towards mental health. His main belief rests on trust, it’s the backbone of his work as, without trust, the growth process remains stunted. Starting with the process of building a trustworthy connection with his clients, Frank aims at creating an environment where clients can unravel their knotted thoughts and emotions. As clarity ensues, a direct discussion of the distress points becomes more feasible. He then employs tried and tested tools to aid you in shaping your life direction once again. Although his offices are located in San Francisco and Santa Cruz, he currently offers most of his services online, through a secure tele-health platform, proving to be as effective as in-person sessions. Such online sessions also afford us the advantage of scheduling flexibility, resulting in more opportunities for deep-dive engagements in the therapeutic work.

Frank Ehrenfried’s modus operandi stands unique as he instills a partnership with the client, facilitating identification of the life aspects that are holding them back. He provides guidance and perspective to pioneer growth and introspective changes. Being integrally-minded and holistically trained, Frank extracts from a variety of tools, theoretical perspectives, and modalities. This means a tailor-made approach for each client, combining scientifically proven methods along with instinctive ways of therapy. His course of action blends heart and mind together, shaping an understandable roadmap for clients. Some integral therapeutic methods used by him include EMDR, The Hakomi Method, Non-Ordinary States of Consciousness, Holotropic Breathwork via Stanislav Grof, Somatic Experiencing (SE) with Peter Levine, MDMA for Trauma and PTSD trained via MAPS, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy via KTC and Polaris Insight Center. Originating from a Brazilian-American background, Frank's diverse life experiences and rigorous theoretical training underpin his therapeutic approach. His journey as a therapist is a calling he felt deeply, and chose wholeheartedly to pursue.
