Patricia Soto, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Patricia!

I am dedicated to empowering individuals on their journey to mental well-being. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues, providing services that span from depression, anxiety, life adjustments, grief, and work stress, to family or relationship stress. Let's work collaboratively to get you on the path of healing and happiness.

My focus

My therapeutic approach works well for teens and adults dealing with life stressors, depression, anxiety, or relationship issues. I help clients navigate difficult seasons by building skills needed to live a fulfilling life.

My approach

My approach to therapy is being a Client-Centered therapist who also utilizes Solution-Focused. I believe we already have the solutions to what we are faced with... we've just forgotten how to identify them. I work collectively with my clients to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, genuine, and curious. I want my clients to feel that they are in a safe space and without judgment. I strive to earn my client's trust so they can feel comfortable coming to sessions while becoming the best version of themselves.

My journey to mental healthcare

Becoming a therapist aligned with my passion and purpose of helping others. I believe it takes one person to be the catalyst in someone's life path to help them build skills and become the best versions of themselves.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting with clients is about working collaboratively to define what you would like to accomplish during your therapeutic journey. It's important to remember that you are the expert on your life; therefore, you have the power and strength within to make the changes that you wish to see.

Our first session

In your first session, expect a warm, welcoming environment focused on getting to know you. We'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve. You'll share your story and concerns while I listen with empathy and without judgment.
