Tinia Holleman-Soto , LMFT

Tinia Holleman-Soto is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 15 years of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Marriage and Family Therapy and a Pupil Personnel Services credential from the University of Southern California, and began her counseling career working as a behaviorist with infants and toddlers who had developmental delays. That early work involved close collaboration with speech and occupational therapists, marriage and family therapists, and the regional center, giving her a strong foundation in multidisciplinary care.

In 2009 she shifted her focus to supporting children, adolescents, and families facing a broad range of challenges, working alongside psychiatrists, social workers, case managers, and school districts. Her clinical experience includes parental support for children with developmental delays, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress from sexual, physical, and domestic abuse, crisis intervention, and ADHD. She also addresses issues such as addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and mood disorders.

Holleman-Soto draws from client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, and existential ideas to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental space. She aims to meet people where they feel comfortable while helping them link thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and encouraging authentic living. She approaches therapy as a team effort, supporting and empowering individuals as they take courageous steps toward change.
