Meet France
I’m Dr. France Frederick, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. My passion lies in creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful growth and lasting positive change.
I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology, San Diego and have dedicated my career to both clinical practice and academic advancement in the field. As a Professor at the University of California, San Diego, I've had the opportunity to contribute to psychological research while maintaining an active clinical practice.
My specialized training includes:
• Postdoctoral Training in Child Psychotherapy (Certificate, 1995)
• Postdoctoral Training in Adolescent and Adult Therapy (Certificate, 1996)
• Alabama Licensed Psychologist #946
Effective therapy begins with creating a confidential, supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors without judgment. My approach is warm, respectful, and interactive, and I tailor treatment to each client's unique needs.
​
My clinical practice encompasses a wide range of issues, with particular expertise in:
• Marital and Premarital Counseling
• Family Conflict Resolution
• Child and Adolescent Therapy
• Individual Therapy
• Psychological Testing & Evaluation
I welcome clients across the lifespan, from children (6+) and adolescents to adults and seniors, providing age-appropriate therapeutic approaches for each stage of development.
I strive to assist my clients in developing psychological awareness and utilizing their insights to cultivate healthier relationships, build more fulfilling lives, and feel empowered to live more vibrantly.
My mission is to guide you in achieving a deeper understanding of yourself and to foster lasting, positive change—one step at a time. I welcome the opportunity to work with you on your journey toward well-being.
