Hello, I am Xochitl (So-cheel)
I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you, your teen, or your child can truly feel understood and supported. As a bilingual (English-Spanish) and bicultural therapist, originally from Monterrey, Mexico, I warmly welcome all people from diverse backgrounds. My immigration journey to the United States, 27 years ago, has given me a personal understanding of how culture and language shape our experiences, and has inspired me to support my clients in a way that honors their unique identity and story.
Many of the individuals and families I work with are going through difficult times. You may also be dealing with challenges like chronic stress, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, or the pressure to hold everything together while feeling disconnected. Your child or teen may be struggling with big emotions, school challenges, ADHD, or social difficulties. These experiences can feel isolating but you are not alone. As a therapist, I would be honored to support you.
My personal journey through major life transitions and loss has made me a more compassionate, empathetic therapist. I also bring 14 years of experience in education as a teacher, school counselor, and school-based therapist, which helps me support families with school-related challenges, special programs, and accommodations. As a former professional dancer, I bring a deep understanding of creative expression and mind-body connection to my therapeutic approach, using body awareness and creativity as tools for emotional regulation, and healing.
With me as your therapist, you can expect a warm, person-centered approach where your unique story, strengths, and needs shape our work together. I draw from techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, SandTray Therapy, and Play Therapy, always meeting you with compassion, curiosity, and respect. This is your space, a space to slow down, find inner peace, and explore healing and growth at your own pace.
