We knew the teen years would be challenging, but nothing prepared us for what our daughter went through. Dr. Soledad helped her open up to therapy and gave her real, practical skills to manage her depression. She also struck the delicate balance of keeping us informed while protecting our daughter’s trust—something that is enormously difficult when emotions are this fragile. Thanks to Dr. Soledad, our daughter has found balance again. We recommend her without hesitation.

Our young son was carrying a great deal of stress on top of his ADHD, including a painful parental conflict that was beginning to affect his outlook and his impulse control. Dr. Soledad worked with him patiently, week after week, much of it through play therapy that he genuinely looked forward to. She won his trust and helped him express his feelings and learn to regulate himself. He is calmer, happier, and far less anxious now, with a healthy outlook on life. She navigated a complex family situation with real skill, working with both parents for his benefit. We are deeply grateful.

When my 9-year-old was diagnosed with OCD, I set out to find a therapist who was genuinely invested in helping him. After interviewing more than a dozen, Dr. Soledad stood out as the most sincere and the most capable. Over ten months she worked diligently with him, and his symptoms dropped dramatically. Her methods go straight to the root of the problem, and she gently pushes her patients to keep improving. On a scale where 10 is the most severe, my son started at an 8 or 9—he is now a 3 or 4. If you are looking for someone who can truly help your child, I recommend her highly.
— Parent of a 9-year-old with anxiety and OCD
In the first week of school, our teenage son fell into severe anxiety—he couldn’t sleep, eat, or function, and was briefly hospitalized. Despite a full schedule, Dr. Soledad made room to see him each week. Over the next five months she helped him work through his negative thoughts. Today he is thriving: functioning well, more understanding and forgiving of himself, and living with genuine zest and perspective.
Our family is profoundly grateful to Dr. Soledad for her guidance during our most trying time. His recovery came from three things: his own determination, his mother’s steady love, and Dr. Soledad’s professional care.

Going through my divorce, I felt like I was losing myself. Dr. Soledad gave me a place to process the grief and anger without judgment, and helped me rebuild a sense of who I am apart from the marriage. She was warm but honest, and never let me stay stuck. I came in overwhelmed and I’m leaving steadier, clearer, and genuinely hopeful about what’s next.

I came to Dr. Soledad ready to address behaviors I had hidden for years. She met me with compassion instead of shame and helped me understand what was driving them. What set our work apart was how she looked at the whole picture—not just the behavior, but my sleep, my stress, my movement, and the daily habits underneath it all. Building those healthier routines gave me a foundation I didn’t have before. For the first time in a long time, I feel in control of my life.
