About Our Therapist
The complexities of families and relationships have intrigued Frances Bernfeld ever since she was a young girl. Even after over 40 years of practice in the field of marriage and family therapy, she’s still intrigued and challenged to seek creative ways to solve the issues we all encounter in our relationships with others.
Frances is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Arizona and has been an American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) member since 1981. She is also the former President of the Arizona Division of AAMFT. She is in private practice working with individuals, couples, and families.
Frances is a client-focused therapist. She also speaks Spanish (también se habla Español).
Create a Positive Change in Your Life
Change can be difficult to accomplish. It takes work but produces excellent rewards. It can be frustrating when we take two steps forward and one step backward. The change process that moves from unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence takes time and patience.
We believe change occurs when a person chooses to act, behave, think, feel, or interact differently. Each of us must make this decision for ourselves. Despite that, we can still choose people to help guide us in our quest to create positive life changes.
