Greater Clarity Begins With a Different Understanding
Koby Frances, PhD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Many clients I work with are navigating dating, relationship or sexual concerns that often bring tremendous confusion and emotional pain.
Over more than fifteen years of clinical practice, I have developed a way of understanding these concerns that can bring remarkable clarity by focusing on the parts of the experience that matter most—but that are also easiest to overlook.
Choose any one of these topics to begin exploring.
Dating & Relationships—>
Pornography & Compulsive Sexual Behavior—>
Unwanted Attractions & Sexual Identity Questions
Confusing Attraction Patterns—>
I also provide psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults experiencing long-standing anxiety, depression, self-criticism, family conflict, career confusion, spiritual alienation, relationship patterns and other emotional challenges.
Wherever you are in the process, a brief complementary phone or zoom call can help clarify the next step.
An Approach That Looks Beneath The Surface
Many of the concerns that I specialize in become much easier to understand when we look beyond symptoms and behaviors, to ask a different question—not simply “What am I feeling?” but
“Why has this person, fantasy or relationship become so emotionally compelling in the first place?”
Watch a brief introduction to my approach.
