Due to the unique privacy and scheduling needs of high-profile and celebrity clients, Dr. Solano offers in-home visits and travel accompaniment, in addition to standard in-office and online appointments.

If you're a creative professional, you’ve done what many only dream of—turned your passion into your livelihood. But when your art becomes your job, the thing that once brought joy and relief can start to feel like pressure. What used to be your escape becomes another source of stress. Through therapy, we help creative folx develop as people, lead thriving lives, run successful businesses, and generally feel greater freedom and inspiration in their creative endeavors.

I often hear things like:

“I used to write songs to feel better—now I dread opening my laptop.”

“The stage was where I came alive. Lately, I just feel exposed.”

These shifts can be disorienting and painful. When your art becomes your day job, where do you go to refill your creative tank? When your identity is wrapped up in your work, creative burnout can feel like a loss of self. When your inner world becomes clouded with anxiety, self-doubt, or exhaustion, it’s hard to know where to turn. And if your creative outlet is something you make time for and it's not your “day job,” this may mean you’ve stopped engaging with your creativity altogether.

We can’t avoid difficult emotions. Even when we try to push them aside, they resurface. You don’t have to navigate this alone. My approach blends clinical depth with real-world understanding of creative lives. I’ve worked with clients across the industry—musicians, actors, writers, artists, and public figures—supporting them through everything from touring burnout to relationship strain, stage fright, and the emotional weight of visibility.

We’ll work with evidence-based tools that reflect the direction modern psychology is moving—transdiagnostic, symptom-focused care that meets you where you are, and helps you move toward where you want to be.

If your creativity is dimmed, your emotions feel overwhelming, or your work has become too heavy to carry alone, know this:

🎙️📺Creative Lives Deserve Creative Support🎨

Let’s talk about what that looks like in practice.

✨Deep Understanding of Creative Identity🎭

I work with artists at every stage of their careers—from emerging voices to internationally recognized talent. My clients include musicians, novelists, screenwriters, playwrights, actors, performers, producers, full-band ensembles, and writers' rooms navigating conflict, burnout, or creative block. Whether you’re in the studio, on tour, on set, or somewhere between gigs, I bring more than surface-level understanding—I bring clinical expertise that honors the complexities of your creative life.

Creative identity isn’t just about what you do—it’s about who you are. When your work or interests are rooted in self-expression, your sense of self is often inseparable from your art. That means professional struggles, criticism, or even creative dry spells can feel deeply personal. You might wonder: What does it mean if I’m not producing? Who am I if I’m not performing, writing, or creating? These aren’t just career questions—they're existential ones.

In therapy, we can explore the nuanced emotional terrain of being a creative:

• How your identity forms in the spotlight—or outside of it
• How your work is both your passion and your paycheck
• What happens when your creativity becomes commodified
• How fame, rejection, or pressure shape your self-image
• How substances are everywhere—and how they can become a way to self-medicate and change how you relate to yourself
• How body image issues can take root in industries focused on appearance and performance
• How to balance constantly evolving as an artist with your brand, project, or public identity
• How to toggle between a desire to be seen and a need to protect your inner world

We’ll also look at how your environment—agents, managers, collaborators, and audiences—impacts your emotional life and mental health. Whether you’re contending with the vulnerability of being “seen,” navigating self-doubt, or trying to stay grounded in a high-speed career, I help you stay connected to your core values and creative spark.

Together, we can work to preserve your artistry while supporting your emotional resilience, helping you create not just from urgency or pressure—but from connection, authenticity, and renewed joy.

🔐 Safe Space: Discreet Care for Public Lives🌈

I’m experienced in working with high-profile and public-facing clients who may have unique concerns around visibility, privacy, and trust. Whether you're navigating the pressures of fame, managing your public image, or simply looking for a secure space to process and grow, I offer discreet, one-on-one care grounded in professionalism and deep respect. Your privacy is prioritized at every step—my in-person office is located on a secure film lot, and all communication is handled exclusively by me. You’ll never speak to a receptionist, answering service, intern, or associate. I don’t outsource your care—your therapeutic experience is entirely personal, private, and designed with your life in mind.

My work with high-profile and A-list clients is rooted in discretion, attunement, and a clear grasp of how these experiences intersect with mental health.
