Melinda Frenkel

As a licensed marriage and family therapist with over two decades of experience, I specialize in somatic psychotherapy that integrates mind-body-spirit connections to foster transformative growth. My practice emphasizes compassionate witnessing, personalized care, and evidence-based techniques tailored to individuals, couples, and families. I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and utilize creative modalities like expressive arts, dream interpretation, and sensory integration to address emotional challenges. My approach prioritizes building collaborative relationships grounded in safety and trust, empowering clients to explore self-concept, relational dynamics, and life goals. I have extensive expertise working with developmental differences, anxiety, and trauma, offering both in-home and office-based sessions.

By combining relational therapy with somatic exploration, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, deepen connections, and achieve holistic well-being. My practice is rooted in the belief that self-awareness and intentional change lead to lasting personal growth. I maintain rigorous professional standards through continuous education and ethical practice, ensuring clients receive reliable, client-centered care. My commitment to accessibility extends to supporting families with special needs through customized therapeutic frameworks. With offices in San Francisco, I provide a welcoming space for individuals seeking meaningful psychological and emotional development.
