Francine Leof

Psychologist, Psy. D.

Therapy is a challenging experience. Having thirty + years of experience as a licensed psychologist working with adults and adolescents, I know that finding a "good fit" can be difficult, yet is critical to the therapeutic process. Ultimately the best results are achieved when the therapeutic relationship is one of trust and comfort.
