Getting to know Theresa Soltzberg

Theresa Soltzberg, LMFT IFS Level 2 Trained, Expressive Arts Practitioner Are you healing from childhood neglect or relationships marked by narcissistic abuse? Do you carry parts of yourself that believe you're not good enough, unworthy of love, or destined for unhealthy patterns? You're not alone — and you're not broken. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, trained and Level 2 pre-certified in Internal Family Systems (IFS), and a dedicated expressive arts practitioner. I specialize in working with adults who are ready to untangle from the false beliefs formed in early relationships — beliefs that have kept them stuck in shame, self-doubt, and cycles of pain.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In our work together, I offer a respectful, nurturing, and nonjudgmental space — one where the younger parts of you who felt abandoned, unseen, or silenced can begin to reconnect with your adult self. With compassion, creativity, and a grounded IFS approach, we’ll explore healing pathways that allow those wounded parts to feel safe, heard, and integrated. What makes my practice unique is my deep belief in the healing power already within you. I don’t view myself as the “expert” on your life — rather, I walk alongside you, helping you rediscover the wisdom, strength, and creativity that’s always been yours.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I've been where you are. I know what it's like to feel left behind or misunderstood. That lived experience fuels my passion for this work and helps me meet you with empathy, clarity, and hope. If you feel ready to take that next step, I invite you to reach out. Let's explore whether Internal Family Systems and expressive healing could be the path toward the transformation you deserve.

Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork

More information on payments and coverage

I’m committed to helping you understand your insurance benefits and making the payment process as smooth as possible. I verify your insurance coverage before your first session and will inform you of any copays, deductibles, or out-of-pocket costs in advance. I accept the insurance you see listed here, and for those without coverage, I offer private pay options. Superbills are available upon request for out-of-network reimbursement. If you need assistance navigating your benefits or payment options, I’m happy to help.
