Our lives are like pieces of a puzzle. How we choose to put them together is among the most important decisions we make.

Hi there, I'm Vanessa! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California and graduated with my Master of Social Work degree from California State University- Northridge in 2016.

Hi there, I’m Juana! My name is Juana Soto and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with individuals who are in need of support as they navigate the varied complexities and challenges of life, specifically, eating disorders, depression, and anxiety. I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy rooted in humanistic traditions and use a creative and integrative approach to best meet my clients in their unique circumstances. I’m open to working with anyone who is looking to embark on a journey of exploration and understanding of their lived-experiences.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of eating disorders. I’m passionate about providing evidenced-based care and am one of the only therapists in San Diego certified in Family-Based Treatment (FBT), the gold standard treatment for child and adolescent eating disorders. My therapeutic style is warm, authentic, and collaborative. I am deeply empathetic to the struggles that eating disorders pose for clients and their families. I strongly believe that no one chooses to have an eating disorder (nor do parents cause eating disorders) and that there is always hope for lasting recovery.

I strive to create safe space where clients can feel comfortable examining their strengths and challenges. I see myself as a guide on this journey of self-discovery, and I believe it's important to look together at the multiple contexts that affect us as individuals, from our family backgrounds to the meanings that we attach to our experiences in order to find our authenticity. I use an individualized approach grounded in family systems to guide clients on their journeys of self-exploration, weaving mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques into sessions.

I imagine you landed on my page because there is something in your life making you feel stuck. I'm here to tell you that you do not need to do this alone.

Some of my areas of support include anxiety, depression, OCD, family conflict, and parent practices. I provide individual therapy, parent consultation, and Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) coaching.
