Matthew Legaspi, Registered Associate MFT (#153849)*
Multi-Cultural and Inclusive Therapist
You deserve a space where you can show up as you are.
I'm Matt, a therapist trained to work with the full range of what brings people to therapy — anxiety, depression, identity questions, relationship stress, life transitions, and the ordinary but real difficulty of figuring out who you are and what you want.
My approach is grounded in CBT, which means we'll get specific about the patterns in how you think, what you avoid, how you respond that are keeping you stuck. And, we'll build practical tools to shift them. I also bring genuine curiosity to the bigger picture: your history, your relationships, your values, and what you're actually trying to build.
I work with adolescents, young adults, couples, and families — particularly people in their teens, 20s, and 30s navigating the pressures of identity, relationships, and becoming.

Individual Therapy for Adolescents and Young Adults
Sometimes you can't name what's wrong. Sometimes you know exactly — and still can't find a way through.
Either way, individual therapy gives you a dedicated space to slow down, think it through, and start moving. My approach is CBT-informed, meaning we'll identify the patterns keeping you stuck and build practical skills to work differently. And I bring genuine curiosity to the bigger picture — your history, your relationships, what you're trying to build.
I work well with adolescents and young adults, particularly people in their teens, 20s, and 30s managing anxiety, depression, identity questions, life transitions, and the weight of becoming.
What to expect:
- A free 30-minute consultation with no pressure
- Early sessions focused on understanding what brought you here and what you want
- A pace and approach shaped around you — not a fixed protocol
- Practical tools alongside real conversation
- Honest, grounded support without judgment
LGBTQ+ Affirming Care
Every client deserves care that sees them fully — not just part of the picture.
I provide affirming, knowledgeable care for LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families. That means you won't need to spend session time on the basics. We can go straight to what matters.
I'm an active volunteer with the Project MORE Foundation, a Bay Area nonprofit dedicated to wellness and support within the LGBTQ+ community, and I bring that connection and commitment into my clinical work.
You might be looking for support around:
- Coming out to yourself or others, at any stage of life
- Family rejection, estrangement, or difficult relationships around your identity
- Dating, intimacy, and relationships as an LGBTQ+ person
- Internalized shame, self-acceptance, and identity development
- Anxiety, depression, or trauma connected to minority stress
- Simply wanting a therapist who already understands the landscape
Couples & Family Therapy
Relationships are where the hardest parts of being human show up most clearly.
When communication breaks down, trust erodes, or you keep circling the same conflict without resolution — it helps to have someone in the room who can see it differently.
I work with couples and families navigating a range of challenges: communication and conflict, life transitions, differences in values or expectations, and the effort to reconnect after rupture. I'm affirming of all identities and relationship structures.
Therapy might help if you're:
- Having the same argument on repeat without resolution
- Feeling disconnected, unheard, or more like roommates than partners
- Working through a major transition — a move, a child, a loss, a career change
- Rebuilding trust after a breach
- Navigating different backgrounds, values, or expectations
- Two people who care about each other and want to find a better way forward
Together we'll slow things down enough to see what's actually happening beneath the argument or the silence — and build a different way to get there.
