Pedro Ivan Soltero, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Pedro!

I am a bilingual (Spanish) therapist. My goal is to help clients explore and understand their struggles and identify solutions to enjoy a more fulfilling life.

My focus

I have worked with clients' concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, phases of life, and difficulties with establishing boundaries.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is an eclectic style of therapy as I use a variety of approaches that fit the Client and the concern. Modalities I use range from Client-centered, Interpersonal Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR sessions to overcome past trauma.

My communication style

I offer an empathetic, nurturing, and non-judgmental environment where a client can be as vulnerable as they would like, feel relief, and work collaboratively to identify solutions.

My journey to mental healthcare

Struggling with my mental health led me to seek therapy to explore my struggles, and it helped me to make changes. This experience led to a career change where I can help others make changes in their life to live a more fulfilling life. My motivation to continue working in the mental health field is the response from clients as they make progress.

My goals for you

We will work collaboratively to determine goals, approaches, and frequency of sessions. I routinely check in with Clients to monitor progress and adjust goals and intervention strategies as needed.

Our first session

During the initial session, I will be gathering information to get to know you, assessing for safety concerns, and identifying goals. Given that a therapeutic relationship is needed, during the initial stage of therapy, we will also be working on building the therapeutic bond between us.
