Marriage & Family Therapy – Tandra Froehlich Childress, ATR, LMFT
Credentialed as both a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Registered Art Therapist (ATR), Tandra Froehlich Childress practices in San Francisco, California, with a therapy office at 676 Chenery Street, San Francisco, CA 94131. The practice provides individual therapy to clients in and around San Francisco, with sessions available in both in-person and online formats.
Treatment modalities listed on the site include Art Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy, and EMDR. The therapist describes her approach as combining these methods into customized treatment plans designed around each client’s specific situation and goals, rather than applying any single framework uniformly across cases.
Clinical focus areas include anxiety, fears, depression, postpartum depression, trauma and PTSD, eating disorders, and child or adolescent issues. The practice describes its work as helping clients develop mental fortitude and self-compassion as they move through significant personal challenges. Art Therapy, as a named modality, integrates creative expression into the clinical process alongside talk-based and cognitive approaches. This dual-credential combination of LMFT and ATR allows the practice to draw on both relational and expressive frameworks within the same therapeutic relationship, which the site positions as a distinguishing feature of the therapist’s clinical style.
A free 15-minute initial consultation is available to prospective clients who wish to assess fit before committing to ongoing sessions. This intake option allows clients to clarify the therapist’s availability, approach, and areas of focus before scheduling a full appointment. Contact options include phone at (510) 473-8051 and email contact through the practice website. The site also links to mental health resources, crisis helplines, and online support groups through TherapyTribe, the platform that hosts the therapist’s listing and serves as the current web presence for the practice.
