Aspire Wellness Group was born out of a deep desire to see people rise above the weight of life’s struggles and step into the wholeness they were created for. The name Aspire means to reach upward to long for something greater and that captures both our vision and our heart.
Founded in the heart of Providence, RI by Erny Francisco, a trusted leader and co-founder of Renaissance Adult Day Health Services, Aspire is more than a counseling practice it’s a place of hope. For over fifteen years, Erny has walked alongside individuals and families, witnessing how life’s challenges can often lead people into cycles of emotional pain, loneliness, or despair. Out of this experience came a calling: to create a safe space where people can find healing for both the mind and the soul.
At Aspire Wellness Group, we bring together clinical excellence and compassionate care to provide support that is both professional and personal. Our bilingual team (Spanish and English) serves a diverse community, walking with individuals, families, and groups as they navigate the emotional, psychological, and relational challenges of life.
