Sometimes being “strong” starts to feel a lot like being exhausted.

You can be resilient and still need support. You can have made it through incredibly difficult seasons and still decide you don’t want to carry everything by yourself anymore.

At LEAP, we believe therapy isn’t about fixing what’s wrong with you. It’s about having a place to put some of what you’ve been carrying, understand yourself a little better, and build the support and tools you need for whatever comes next.

You’ve carried enough alone. We’re here when you’re ready.
LEAP offers psychotherapy for children, teens, adults, couples, and families, with in person and telehealth options available in Connecticut.

Meet Tori Franco, LMSW

We’re excited to introduce you to Tori Franco, LMSW, one of the clinicians at LEAP.

Tori works with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma and PTSD, relationship struggles, life stressors, self esteem, and confidence concerns.

What we especially appreciate about Tori’s approach is that therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical. Tori focuses on creating a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly, understand patterns that may no longer be serving them, and develop practical tools they can actually use outside of the therapy room.

For couples, Tori can also help navigate communication barriers, recurring conflict, relationship stress, trust concerns, and emotional distance.

Tori is currently accepting new adult and couple clients in Connecticut.

You’re allowed to change direction.

A different path doesn’t mean you failed. Sometimes it just means you finally figured out where you want to go. 💙

Sometimes what looks like “bad behavior” is a child saying, “I’m having a hard time and I don’t know what to do with it.”

Children are still learning how to understand their emotions, communicate what they need, tolerate frustration, and calm their bodies when everything feels like too much.

And parents? You’re trying to help them learn all of that while managing your own emotions, responsibilities, and exhaustion at the same time.

That can be really hard.

You don’t have to respond perfectly every time. Sometimes the most important thing you can offer in a difficult moment is a safe, steady presence while the big feeling passes.

are hard. And needing doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong.

Sometimes families need an extra helping hand, too. If things have been feeling heavier lately, professional mental health support can give both children and parents more tools to understand what’s happening and navigate it together.

Wellness doesn’t always look like a perfect morning routine or checking everything off your to-do list.

Sometimes it looks like calling someone you love. Getting outside for a few minutes. Eating something that makes you feel good. Asking for help when you need it. Or simply making a little more room for yourself this week.

Self care isn't selfish when it means giving yourself what you actually need.

And community matters because none of us were meant to do everything alone.

So this week, check in with yourself. Check in with someone you love. Do one small thing that makes your corner of the world feel a little healthier, safer, or more connected.

If you need a little additional support, we’re here. Sometimes that helping hand is a friend, a family member, or someone in your community. And sometimes, it’s professional mental health support. There’s strength in reaching for either.

Self care is more than bubble baths and spa days. It's setting boundaries, asking for help, resting when you need to, and giving yourself the same compassion you offer everyone else.

Audre Lorde's words continue to remind us that caring for ourselves isn't selfish. It's necessary.

What's one small thing you can do for yourself today?
