Getting to know Soksan Pao

My mission is to empower those struggling through cultivating resilience, personal growth, and leveraging evidence-based modalities such as CBT-I, IFS, Gottman, and trauma-informed care to find balance. In addition to being licensed in South Carolina and Maine, I am also a combat veteran who enjoys the inner works of resilience with those who have or still is wearing the uniform; military and first responders. My approach I use cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to help you identify and reshape your sleep hygiene as a holistic approach before tackling the harder parts of life. This approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors when sleep is on point. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include practices like mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and internal family systems. Your goals and progress are my primary focus. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence. Looking for couples? No problem, I use Gottman as a guide to guide the relationship and its goals. My focus Have you been struggling with depression and trauma-related thoughts and self-doubt? I work with young adults who are managing similar symptoms of depression, anxiety, life transitions, and those seeking support for self-esteem issues. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable. You are more resilient than you may think. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I will challenge you as needed and on the flip side, I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.
