By the time you meet those requirements, there is not much to pour into yourself; however, remember, before you can pour into others, you must also remember to give YOU attention. Oftentimes, you might feel like you can handle it ALL until one day you can’t, and you are left feeling down, lonely, and TIRED. Does this sound like you? I am here to say, “hold on a little longer my friend, you can be ALL these things,” but remember YOU in the process.

Francesca Legaspi, MA Clinical Counseling, AMFT
Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
#145014
Welcome! My name is Francesca Legaspi (she/her), an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. Within my clinical work, I am passionate about cultivating a safe and empowering environment for all clients. With over 3 years of experience working with children and teens with various learning challenges as well as over a year of therapeutic experience working with clients from both a school-based and community-based setting, I have learned how important it is to consider a client’s individual experience when providing therapeutic care. I believe that focusing on your mental health doesn’t have to be scary or challenging and that it is always okay to ask for help. Life is a journey to experience as the best version of ourselves and sometimes we may not always have the correct tools for certain challenges in which I say, 'It is okay to not be okay.' As I welcome you into this safe space, we will work together to find the right tools for your journey to tackle any barriers or challenges that you may face along the way.
