About Me

My Name is Frankie Stringer.

I am a Black woman and Michigan-based therapist rooted in womanist and healing justice principles.

Grounded, creative, and deeply passionate, I am committed to creating authentic spaces where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal. Inspired by the resilience of those before us, I aim to blend warmth, insight, and a holistic approach to guide you in embracing your true self and finding balance in your life.

Therapeutic Style

Therapy is all about meeting you where you are, and together we’ll work towards a brighter, more empowered YOU!

I love using an integrative and holistic approach that combines different therapeutic styles and focuses on your unique strengths. I believe in seeing the whole person—bringing in all your life experiences, both past and present. By centering you, and your experiences and building a strong therapeutic relationship, we’ll create a healing space that fosters accountability, resilience, and growth.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with a diverse range of clients, from youth to adults, across various backgrounds. I can’t wait to partner with you on your path to wellness!
