Leonor Francisco
(She/Her/Hers)
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Helping adults manage ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and more with compassionate, patient-centered care and a focus on your unique goals.
With over 18 years of nursing experience, I understand that mental health care goes beyond just treating symptoms—it's about helping you feel empowered in your daily life. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and therapy for adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, panic disorder, depression, OCD, PTSD, insomnia, bipolar disorder, and more. I specialize in working with busy professionals and individuals balancing demanding careers, helping you manage stress, improve focus, and build emotional resilience. Whether you're you're seeking relief from anxiety or looking to regain control of your mood, I offer practical strategies that fit into your lifestyle. I believe mental health care should address the whole person, which is why I emphasize the importance of physical activity, balanced nutrition, quality sleep, and medication compliance alongside therapy. My approach ensures you feel heard, supported, and empowered to take steps toward becoming the best version of yourself. Your goals are my priority—whether that's finding balance, returning to work, or excelling in your career. Together, we'll create a plan that works for you.
