Vanessa Icazbalceta-Soto

Welcome! Hola! I’m a bilingual sex-positive therapist, here to support dismantling negative sex tropes upheld by society. I am trauma informed, centered on experiences of kink, queer, LGBTQIA and BIPOC communities. I specialize in the Cluster B Personality Disorders (BPD, NPD, ASPD, Histrionic) and also help individuals needing support on their weight loss journey while still supporting body positivity and fat pride/liberation. Let’s eradicate long-standing negative attitudes towards sex, body and mind, elevate your strengths and strive for a more meaningful life by opening a space for you to feel authentic, safe, and empowered.

I would describe my approach as a smorgasbord of modalities. Not one approach will fit every one of your needs. At times, we may find that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy works well enough, and at times we may need to tap into Somatic Therapy or Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

When working with couples with libido Differences, we may tap into some bibliotherapy or Sensate Focus to address discrepancies.

When working with Personality Disorder clients, we may tap into Dialectical Behavior Therapy. All in all, we will pull from various modalities to create a unique and tailored approach that is as unique as you are.

I want you to imagine your therapeutic journey as a road trip, and guess what?! You’re driving! That’s right. You’re the one in charge. But you aren’t alone. I will be there, guiding you and assisting you from the passenger seat. You have complete autonomy on this journey. You are the expert of your life. I’m along for a portion of it to serve as support and encouragement. We are in this together! Let’s have an amazing journey of self-discovery while we are at it!
