(RATh.). To practice art therapy in the US, Fran obtained a State of Maine counseling license, the Licensed Clinical Professional
Counselor (LCPC) qualification. She graduated with her PhD from the University of Maine in May 2003. Fran continues to build
her art psychotherapy and counseling practice in Bangor ME where she helps clients recover from trauma through individual
and group sessions. Fran’s work as an artist has been primarily in fabric design and painting. She enjoys making
art in many mediums. Fran uses her art time to think out and think through both work and personal concerns in cognitive and
affective ways. Making art for Fran is also fun! And it lets her sleep better!
