Staton Fran LCSW

I have known Fran for many years. I originally met her and started working with her as part of a group she facilitated with another therapist who I was seeing at the time. I was drawn to Fran’s clarity, insight and loving honesty. I appreciated her ability to work with the group giving all members the space and the support needed for each of us to advance on our individual paths while leveraging the group environment to enrich the experience and learning for all. Some time after the group ended, I decided to work with Fran individually. I value Fran’s focus on the here and now and the heart but also the spiritual being. Her approach is holistic looking at the whole person. She is very pragmatic and lovingly challenges the unhealthy patterns we gravitate towards. After working together for a number of years, I moved from the bay area. Later when I wanted to see a therapist again and was not able to find the right person locally, I started to do sessions with Fran over the phone. We have recently started to use skype. I have found this very rewarding and have been able to advance on my path with Fran even doing our work together at a distance. I treasure my time with her and our work together. I would highly recommend Fran for work both face to face and at a distance and feel very fortunate to have her in my life.
