Hi, my name is Oli Soto, and I am the Clinical Director at Latinx Talk Therapy. I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience working with individuals, adults, children, and groups on issues related to depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and loss. I believe that psychotherapy is a gift to the self and should be accessible to all. Therapy is also a tool for personal growth, and I will guide you in applying what you learn in our sessions to your everyday life. I am bilingual (English/Spanish) and bicultural.

Life can be hard and the idea of starting the process of therapy can add to that stress and anxiety. You've already taken the first step by being here on Psychology Today. If you are constantly feeling frustrated, anxious or overwhelmed, I am here to help you figure out what's going on and move towards the life you want to live. I will support you on your journey towards positive change and emotional well-being. My approach is warm, engaging, collaborative and sometimes even humorous.

Symptoms of anxiety and OCD can make individuals feel powerless. Coping with obsessions, trauma, and phobias can be difficult, but there is a way to find relief! As a clinician with extensive training in the treatment of anxiety disorders, including OCD and PTSD, I motivate clients to challenge thought patterns that have robbed them of their confidence and hope. Using ethical and evidence-based treatment, we can work towards goals that will help you gain your life back.

Do you constantly feel on edge, overwhelmed or anticipate future events with worry and dread? Do racing, ruminating thoughts impact your ability to concentrate on tasks, manage stress or engage socially? Living with anxiety can be a distressing, frustrating and sometimes frightening experience. You may be preoccupied by "what if" questions about the future that you can't control, causing your thoughts to spiral and fuel more distressing emotions and physical symptoms. The ongoing, looping cycle of anxiety can impact all aspects of your life, including work performance and your relationships.

I believe therapy is a collaborative experience where the participant guides the process at their preferred pace. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families. I aim to provide a non-judgemental space that supports personal growth. I invite all forms of creative expression and the use of symbolism/ metaphors as tools for reflection. I acknowledge that humans have multiple intersectional identities and belong to many systems that may impact their therapeutic exploration. I hope to bring transparency and compassion to each interaction.

I start by developing a unique and genuine therapeutic relationship with my clients which facilitates healing and understanding.

Are you feeling a sense of increased anxiety and obsessive thinking? Are you struggling with self-doubt and inner conflict? Does your anxiety and panic show up in a sense of disorganization, disordered eating, or social anxiety? These are all common symptoms of anxiety, stress, and obsessive thinking. When we face these challenges there are proven solutions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness based therapies, and values based behavior changes. How we get there is through connection to your provider, courage to assess what is not working, and committing and engaging in a new plan.

Thank you for stepping out of the shadows so you don't feel invisible to important people. To create the relationships you desire, you must face the causes of anxiety, depression, perfectionism, procrastination, self-criticism, or insecurities. The time has come for you to love yourself unconditionally and put yourself first! My goal is to help you feel more connected, empowered, and secure in your life and relationships, whether it's your first time in therapy, your return, or you're looking for a new therapist. Now is your time!

The most important relationship we will ever have is the one with ourself. Some clients know what they want to work on, and other times we discover patterns in emotions, behaviors & relationships that take us where we need to go. Many clients I work with are experiencing anxiety, depression, relational trauma, trust issues, low self-esteem, perfectionism, & shame. Others seek support with life transitions, stress management, work/life balance & career transitions. And often, these difficulties can be traced back to childhood or traumatic life experiences, and the self-limiting and negative core beliefs they created.

I utilize an empathetic, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive approach in my therapeutic relationships. I specialize in addressing depression, suicidality, anxiety & panic attacks, grief & loss, complex & acute trauma, substance use. Please follow my website link to schedule a consultation.

Whether you've seen a therapist before, or are reaching out for support for the first time, beginning with new therapist can feel scary or uncertain. I respect these feelings and work with my clients to create an empowering dynamic. I believe in the power of an honest, open, and empathetic space of healing. When individuals feel heard, validated, and supported in a non-judgmental environment that's when the healing begins, and I try my best to create exactly that for my clients. I strive to assist clients in navigating their lives to help them reach their goals by focusing on a person's uniqueness and individual strengths.

If you are looking for someone to be your number one ally, but also call you on your stuff... that's me! Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, or other serious mental illness- I can help. If you are just struggling to find direction and need some outside voice- I can help with that too.

Connecting with ourselves is a crucial and often overlooked practice. I understand the courage it requires to take this first step of reaching out. Starting or continuing therapy is a wonderful way to understand and address your mental health, hardships, and the effects of everyday life on your well-being. I hope to offer a compassionate and collaborative space that fosters connection and healing. In therapy, we will work together to set treatment goals and highlight your strengths. I will work with you to navigate and accept thoughts and feelings, which is essential when working toward positive change.

With a strong belief in human resilience, I work with individuals who feel stuck and limited by life's challenges. By developing a safe and trusting relationship with my clients, I empower them to find the strength within themselves to make positive change.

Throughout our lives, we are taught how to be a good friend, a good family member, and to be kind and considerate to others. Unfortunately, people often are not taught how to be nice to oneself. As a therapist, I strive to assist clients in self-exploration and self-compassion and working towards self-acceptance. The real change starts with us as individuals. Once we start to take care of ourselves, and make those steps towards internal healing, there is a ripple effect towards improving our relationships with others. All parts of us are important, especially those parts of us we want to avoid and reject.

I work with adolescents and adults. My specialities include working with people experiencing life transitions, survivors of trauma, queer and trans people, people of color, and disabled folks. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, kink affirming, and sex positive. I also work with polyamourous and non-monogamous people, as well as those with other alternative relationship orientations. Additionally, I have experience working with folks with substance use concerns, adoptees, religious minorities, sex workers, and neurodivergent people.
