Introduction

Sophie Francksen, T-LMHC, ATR-P I am an art therapist and mental health counselor who believes creativity, play, and curiosity can support healing and growth. Working with teens and adults, I take a person-centered, strengths-based approach that honors each person’s unique experiences, values, and abilities. Through conversation, art-making, and exploration, I help clients discover new perspectives, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with their strengths. My goal is to create a welcoming, collaborative space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow at your own pace. I earned my Master of Science in Art Therapy with an Emphasis in Counseling from Mount Mary University in 2025 and have been practicing in the Ames area since 2026.
