Compassionate, spiritual care that meets you exactly where you are.
Frances S. Lee (they/them) strongly believes that everyone, especially in the midst of chaotic and uncertain times, deserves access to spiritual accompaniment and meaningful lives.

Frances provides 1-on-1 accompaniment for young adults in living with loss, developing their values, and navigating their inherited and emerging belief systems.
Why Spiritual Counseling?
Spiritual counseling is a one-on-one, reflective practice that supports you in sacred pause to truly be present in your life, identify new directions, and be accompanied in transitional times. It’s a space of honest conversation, active listening, and exploring the unknown. You are welcome here, regardless of religious affiliation or spiritual identity.
Virtual sessions are 50 minutes and available on a $100–$150 sliding scale. If you’d like to schedule a spiritual counseling session, I’ll begin scheduling clients in Summer 2026.
Testimonials
“As I wrestle with the uncomfortable experience of being a human being trapped in systems of violence, Frances has been there supporting and affirming my struggle. Our sessions have been one of the very few places I’ve found where I can freely discuss the intersection of my spirituality and my politics, which is at the very core of my being.”

“Frances provides a deep container for values-aligned and intentional self-inquiry. Working with them gifted me with new tools to decrease judgment and increase curiosity as I relate to myself and others.”
