EMDRIA-certified Licensed Professional Counselor

Tanja Soto M.A., LPC, BCBA | EMDRIA-certified Licensed Professional Counselor at Makin Wellness, providing mental health counseling

If you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or the unique experiences that come with autism or ADHD, know that you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to help guide you through the challenges, transitions, and uncertainties life can bring.

I work with adolescents through adults — including those in the LGBTQ+ community and individuals from diverse backgrounds — to address a range of concerns like life transitions, parenting challenges, grief, stress management, and bipolar disorder. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, I provide a space where your experiences are respected and your goals are prioritized.

My approach is both comprehensive and flexible. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), I utilize evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, Behavior Modification, Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. This allows me to tailor our work to what fits best for you or your family.

Clients often share that they appreciate my ability to bring structure, insight, and a sense of possibility to online therapy.

Together, we’ll explore not just what’s difficult right now, but also how to build skills, resilience, and a stronger sense of self moving forward. Online therapy is a collaborative journey, and I’m committed to supporting you every step of the way.

If you’re feeling uncertain about starting, that’s okay — taking the first step is often the hardest, but it’s also the start of real change.
