Getting to know Juana Soto
Hi there, I'm Juana! My name is Juana Soto, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Santa Barbara. I work with individuals who need support as they navigate the varied complexities and challenges of life, specifically eating disorders, depression, and anxiety. I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy rooted in humanistic traditions and use a creative and integrative approach to best meet my clients in their unique circumstances.
My approach
My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently utilize Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Integrative Therapy with an assortment of approaches and tools to individualize treatment. This approach helps me consider the whole person's lived context, including social, cultural, economic, and systemic factors, allowing us to work toward a path of healing.
My focus
My work experience at different levels of care-inpatient, residential, and community-based mental health-has given me the opportunity to aid individuals struggling with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, poor body image, body dysmorphia, and other mental health challenges. I'm open to working with anyone looking to embark on a journey of exploration and understanding of their lived experiences.
My communication style
I strive to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe and comfortable sharing anything with me. I pride myself on my ability to listen intently, engage honestly, and compassionately tell clients the things they need to hear. I see my role as empowering clients to become their authentic selves through curiosity, empathy, and compassion.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have always had a passion for helping others and knew early on that I wanted to be in the helping profession.
