Today, Ella Frantz's practice has several different locations in California. Her warm, compassionate style, understanding, flexibility, combined with profound knowledge and love of her work makes Ella Frantz one of the most recommended therapists in her field.

in the field, she decided that quiet agency work was not for her. Her interest was in two major areas of mental health – psychiatry and high-end therapy practice with individuals and couples.
