Most of my experience has been working with adults in recovery from substance use from a trauma informed perspective. I am very nonjudgemental, open minded, and have lots of experience doing harm reduction counseling with folks. I enjoy working with those who are legally involved. Additionally, with a background in outdoor education, camp counseling, and school counseling, I enjoy working with teens and adolescents as well and consider myself strong in this area.

Welcome! I'm Frankie Wanger, and I'm here to help you work through life’s challenges. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions.

I work with adult clients who find themselves feeling overwhelmed or stuck in unhealthy patterns and wanting to better understand themselves and build healthier relationships. I focus on exploring emotions, resolving issues from the past, and increasing self-awareness. I provide evidenced-based, multiculturally competent counseling.

Christine has extensive experience with trauma and is very interactive in-session with resources and activities.

My clients are devoted professionals, parents, and caregivers. If you feel drained, overwhelmed, or like you're stuck simply going through the motions, you might be experiencing Burnout or Compassion Fatigue. Life gets so busy sometimes that self-care can seem difficult to add to an already long to-do list. I help people reclaim joy and experience greater satisfaction with their lives, using creative approaches in a fun and upbeat atmosphere.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

When it comes to clientele, I enjoy working with, and most drawn to, those who are at a crossroads in life and are wanting to make a change. I best serve clients and couples who are looking for a trauma-informed, sex positive and affirming therapist who is open to all orientations and identities.
My clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed or lost. They feel like something is wrong with them. They want to figure out how to function better and feel like they belong in the world and in their relationships (with partners, family, friends, colleagues).

I enjoy blending my training as a therapist with queer neurodivergent lived experience to create a space that is affirming and accepting for my clients who often tell me that it is a relief to be able to speak freely about the facets of their identity without first having to educate me about the basics of these topics. Many clients have shared that previous therapists seemed too uptight or not transparent, and therefore enjoy the open and honest dialogue that we have in session.
