Getting to know Monique Galindo Soderstrom

My name is Monique Galindo Soderstrom, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families. For those new to therapy, it can feel intimidating. Clients and coworkers often tell me I have a warm and calming demeanor, and I strive to make starting therapy as simple and stress-free as possible. I welcome clients with a safe, supportive, and come-as-you-are approach. Together, we can address parenting challenges, reduce or eliminate worry, anxiety, depression, and unhealthy habits you may be experiencing. I am trained in Maternal Mental Health, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Gestalt, DBT, and Inner Child work. I help clients identify their stumbling blocks and strengths, aiming for them to gain courage, confidence, and meaningful change. In collaboration with clients, I find creative ways to set goals, process situations, and explore the many parts of themselves. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I had the privilege of working with an exceptional therapist to address my own relational issues and behaviors. After seeking mental health support for myself, I decided to ?pay it forward.? My professional experience includes working with children as young as 4 years old to teens on criminal probation. I have supported many mothers and families, women with body image issues and eating disorders, co-parenting due to separation or divorce, and individuals developing their authentic selves. I use expressive therapies in sessions for both adults and children, including play therapy and art therapy to access the unconscious mind, alongside talk therapy and structured approaches. I implement skills that clients feel comfortable with, understanding that therapy is a unique experience for everyone. I make your sessions with you and about you. My approach is eclectic, drawing from Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Jungian Therapy.
