Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, MA in Counseling Psychology, MFT California license

Fran Wickner, Ph.D., MFT has over 35 years of experience as a clinician and offers compassionate, competent, and convenient therapeutic services to individuals, couples and families.

Dr. Wickner's work with clients draws on her decades of experience. She specializes in Solution Focused Therapy which tends to be shorter than most "traditional" therapies and is based on client's goals and how to make life changes. As with most counseling, the past is important, but Dr. Wickner's therapy sessions tend tend to help clients work on how to make things better today and in the future rather than re-examining the past.

Issues clients typically bring in include stress, employment issues, transitions, self-esteem, addictions, parenting, relationship concerns, ACA/co-dependency and step-family issues.

Besides her counseling practice, Dr. Wickner has been an Adjunct Professor of Family Psychology at a local graduate school and runs workshops for psychotherapists.
