Dr. Gorritz offers a compassionate, comfortable and safe space to share everything that you are experiencing in your life. Opening up to someone is very difficult but Dr. Gorritz was patient, and very supportive.

Frank feels like a friend more than a therapist at times. He helps you out in ways that you don't realize until after you have worked with him for a while. He is compassionate and just a wonderful human being. 10/10

Dr. G is the best. In each session I feel heard, seen, validated, and appropriately challenged. The range of expertise Dr. G holds is comprehensive. That was important to me, as I have LGBTQIA+ needs, religious trauma, ADHD, grief, work stress, and addiction awareness concerns. Dr. G can do it all. I have tried several therapists in the past and struggled to connect, but I finally found the right one with him. He doesn’t judge any of my beliefs, yet also isn’t afraid to challenge my stances. It’s exactly what I wanted and needed in a counselor.
