Kelli Soto

Hi, I'm Kelli Soto, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of nursing experience and more than 5 years in psychiatric practice. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, stress, and life transitions. I believe the best care comes from a strong partnership between provider and patient, where authenticity, education, and open communication help create a treatment plan that is both practical and empowering.

My approach to care is collaborative, intentional, and rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood, while providing honest, straightforward guidance and education to help you better understand your mental health. I take a whole-person approach that integrates evidence-based medication management, supportive psychotherapy, and practical lifestyle strategies, with the goal of empowering you to make informed decisions and build lasting resilience, not just manage symptoms.

During your first session, you can expect a warm, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you have the space to openly share your concerns, experiences, and goals. I will take time to understand your history, current challenges, and what you hope to gain from treatment. Together, we will develop a personalized plan that may include education, supportive therapy, lifestyle strategies, and medication when appropriate. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer sense of direction and next steps.
