About me

Hello! My name is Frankie and I am a licensed mental health counselor currently living in the sunshine state of Florida. I completed my graduate school internship as well as post graduate registered intern experience at an inpatient stabilization center and I’m currently still employed there today as an LMHC. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parent-child relationship problems, self-harm, personality disorders, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and have worked closely alongside the Department of Children and Families, as well as Children’s Protective Services.
My therapy style is warm and compassionate, and I believe my clients should have someone who listens to their concerns wholeheartedly with an open mind. I believe in treating everyone with genuine respect and sensitivity, and I don't believe we should label or stigmatize ourselves based on our struggles. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and solution-focused therapy. I will tailor our conversations and create a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs, with your input along the way.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

I only had two sessions and I am very confident that it will help me.
My therapist is very kind and gives me the time and opportunity to explain myself.

Frankie is absolutely amazing ! She is very down to earth and understands my situation and validates my feelings . I can tell her things I don’t really tell anyone else and I feel comfortable doing so !

Ms. Ter Keurst knows the importance of balancing the tuff stuff with happy experiences and memories. She always has me leave a session on a positive note. I greatly appreciate it. I've been in therapy before, and my therapist would often end a session on a painful note - I'd leave the session in tears. Not helpful!

Frankie is amazing! She is very kind and sweet. After just one session, I felt relief. Frankie will make you feel seen and heard and it is so comforting! I love that she agrees that situations are tough but helps create goals so that when a tough situation comes around again, you can be better prepared. I already see a difference in myself and I have only have 4 to 5 sessions. Amazinggggg. Thank you Frankie <3

Frankie is a really kind hearted person and listens to me complain without judgment. She comes up with good goals for me and I feel better after taking with her. I would recommend her.

She was a great listener! She makes you feel completely comfortable and easy to open up to right from the beginning. She always responded in a timely manner. Unfortunately due to my circumstances, I'm not able to continue currently. Once I'm able to get settled I will seek her out again! She was wonderful! Thank you Frankie!!!

Frankie is a great listener and shows compassion without bias.
My heart feels full after a video session, not because she was telling me what I wanted to hear, but because it was what I needed to hear in order to process.

Frankie is a really nice person and I’m thankful to have chosen her as my therapist. I don’t normally like talking through things but she helps me feel comfortable. I thought I might do this app just once or twice but I’ve met with her a few times and have really found it helpful.

Work with me!
