About me

My name is Betsy Franks. I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Texas, with 30+ years experience. I have experience in treating a vast range of issues, including depression and mood disorders, stress, anxiety, PTSD, marital conflict, separation, divorce and blended families. I also have experience with foster care and adoption. I have extensive experience working with children and adults who have suffered from the effects of emotional, physical and/or sexual abuse, as well as other traumatic events.
My approach to therapy includes cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based therapy, psychodynamic therapy, trauma focused therapy and solution based therapy.
All individuals require a different and unique treatment, it is my goal to tailor that treatment plan to each individuals specific needs and strength. My treatment style is interactive, sensitive and warm. Taking the step to seek therapy may be difficult, but it is also courageous. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

She allowed me to open up and provided unbiased responses to my concerns. I felt validated in my emotions because I had been questioning if I was in the right or wrong in my situation. She helped me see that im just dealing the best I can with what I’ve got.

Elizabeth Frank's is an awesome therapist! She gives me encouragement and a safe space to speak. She makes you feel like there is someone supporting you and is on your side as you face whatever challenges are in your life. She encourages empowerment which in turn makes you feel stronger and more capable. When we fall down or lose our way, we all need a soldier fighting along with us. I strong recommend her expertise!
