Life can be unpredictable, imperfect, and sometimes unforgiving.
We do our best to navigate the unknowns, the impossibly steep uphill climbs and the when-things-don’t-go-our way moments, but sometimes we need a neutral voice to help us reframe life’s obstacles as life’s opportunities so we can get back on track. At Soleil Psychotherapy, we understand how life’s complexities can lead us down a difficult road, so we use a holistic approach to treatment and engage in therapy in a collaborative way to make sure your needs are being met. We work with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds and populations with presenting concerns in the following areas:
Individual Counseling
Imagine learning to embrace your unique experiences and life journeys instead of letting others’ opinions guide the way.
We all get stuck. Sometimes it’s related to an experience from the past that we’re having difficulty processing or it’s a current circumstance that’s making day-to-day life a constant struggle. No matter the challenge you’re facing, be it depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationships or a lack of self-confidence, individual counseling can provide a safe and empathetic environment where you’re provided with the validation, tools and resources needed to create a more purposeful life based on your values.

Couples Counseling
There is no perfect relationship. We just need to determine what works best for us.
For some, whether they are dating, engaged, married, transitioning into parenting, in a traditional or non-traditional relationship, that means working with a couples counselor. This type of therapy can provide an unbiased third party to facilitate conversations that have become unproductive. Couples counselors can identify destructive relationship patterns and design strategies to overcome them. They can teach the value of compromise, embracing differences and learn how to forgive. Sometimes, though, when all the work is done and the relationship no longer works, through therapy, you can find ways to separate productively.
