Getting to know Jose Legaspi

Hi there, I'm Jose! I want to commend you for taking the important step of prioritizing your mental health. I specialize in supporting individuals as they navigate the challenges of daily life. Over the years, I’ve worked with clients facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem issues. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and solution-focused, emphasizing each person’s unique strengths to foster resilience and growth. My approach My approach is grounded in practical tools and supportive conversations that help you better understand yourself and make meaningful changes. We’ll use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and actions. By noticing and challenging unhelpful thinking patterns, you can start to feel more in control and experience fewer overwhelming emotions. I also draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which focuses on helping you manage intense feelings, improve relationships, and build useful coping skills. We'll practice mindfulness together, which means learning to pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, and body without judgment. This can help you respond more calmly and clearly, rather than reacting on impulse. Another part of our work may include Motivational Interviewing—a collaborative, respectful approach that supports you in exploring your own reasons for change. If you're feeling stuck or unsure, this process can help clarify what really matters to you, so any steps you take forward feel meaningful and self-driven. My goal is to walk alongside you with empathy, curiosity, and respect, helping you navigate challenges while building on your strengths. My focus I help clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, and trauma. Through evidence-based practices, I collaborate with clients in changing their thinking patterns to improve their overall mood. Through therapy, I will work with you to become a better version of yourself.
