With over twenty years of diverse counseling experience, Fran Hendrick has both professional training in coaching and independent licensure in professional clinical counseling. A member of the American Counseling Association and the International Association of Coaches, her degrees include a Masters of Education in Counseling with Clinical Endorsement, and Bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Therapeutic Recreation. Fran holds certification in Authentic Happiness Coaching, a compendium of highly researched strategies, developed by world-renowned psychologist Martin Seligman, for helping clients increase their satisfaction with both their work and their lives.

Fran works skillfully with clients, helping them to both connect with their core sense of self and to apply it powerfully within their lives. By fully defining and appreciating themselves, clients are naturally empowered to release their unique gifts and dreams into their work and relationships, and to achieve joy and flow in their lives.

Approaching her work with clients from a framework of self psychology and positive psychology, Fran applies this theoretical foundation to enhance the lives of people who, already living well, are striving for even greater personal development and enjoyment of life. Engaging in a creative process, whether writing, art – or creating a space – naturally serves to enhance clients' insight into the self that lies beneath the surface. Creating an ideal space, a space that reflects who one is, who one wishes to be; where one has been, and what one values, is a powerful way for the self to manifest and grow.

In both her personal and professional life, Fran has engaged, time and again, in the intensive process of first envisioning and then creating new environments, each manifesting particular aspects of self. In addition to her counseling and coaching practice, Fran designs and builds miniature glass conservatories, each a unique self-contained environment in glass.
