Crystal Soto

Hello, my name is Crystal Soto. I graduated from San Francisco State University with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and attended Walden University to earn my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have been in the mental health field for over six years, working at different agencies, age groups, and with different cultural backgrounds. I specialize in working with individuals who have difficulty with depression, anxiety, stress management, post-traumatic stress disorder, and various mental health struggles.

In my practice, I employ a holistic, affirming, and encouraging approach to therapy. I focus on identifying your strengths and highlighting them to help you become your best self and achieve your goals. I utilize modalities such as solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and the Internal Family Systems approach. I incorporate somatic exercises and am EMDR-trained.

In the first session, I focus on getting to know you as an individual and creating a space that allows you to explore challenges at your own pace. I work with you to identify your comfort level and set goals.
