Nick Leggio, Psy.D
Licensed Clinical Psychologist #38268
I am so glad you have taken the courageous next step on your journey of healing. I know how overwhelming it can be to find a provider you can trust. I believe one of the bravest and most rewarding things you can do is to begin to understand your own story. Under my care, I aim to provide symptom relief, a deeper and more accurate understanding of your self and others, and a warm and nonjudgemental space to be seen and heard.
​
​Life often feels overwhelming when we lose our sense of connection—with ourselves, with others, or with the deeper meaning in our lives. My work centers on helping people find their way back to authenticity, belonging, and hope. Whether you’re navigating depression, anxiety, OCD, relationship struggles, or life transitions, therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what’s happening inside you, and begin moving forward with clarity and compassion.

How I Work
I believe that healing begins with a genuine, trusting relationship. My approach integrates evidence-based practices like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness with psychodynamic and relational insight to help you address both symptoms and their deeper roots. Patients describe me as warm, thoughtful, curious, and direct. I provide both a safe place to process and the structure you need to make lasting change. Together, we’ll work on understanding your patterns, developing practical tools, and creating new ways of relating to yourself and others.
Who I Help
I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults facing challenges such as:
-
Anxiety, worry, panic, and social fears
-
Depression, low self-worth, and self-criticism
-
OCD and intrusive thoughts
-
Trauma, loss, and difficult life transitions
-
Relationship and family struggles
-
Identity, purpose, and meaning
​
What You Can Expect
Therapy with me is collaborative and tailored to you. I’ll meet you where you are while also challenging you to grow. You can expect to leave sessions with a clearer sense of yourself, more effective coping tools, and a renewed sense of direction. My goal is to help you not only reduce symptoms but also move toward a more fulfilling, connected, and authentic life.
