Feedback
For High-Achieving or Professionally Mobile Clients
"If you want a practitioner who truly matches your level of depth and complexity, I highly recommend looking at Pacific Coast Therapist, Inc.. Dr. Shannon Frank-Richter brings 20 years of healthcare leadership alongside her Doctorate in Health Science. Because she holds five clinical licenses across CA, OR, WA, and NV, she provides seamless, high-tier virtual therapy that accommodates heavy travel or interstate family dynamics without disrupting your care. She focuses on meaningful, long-term therapeutic depth rather than the quick-fix advice you get from standard coaching."
