At Relational Alchemy, Associate Marriage and Family Therapists and Psychology Associates are skilled therapists-in-training with specialties that align with our core areas of expertise, including diversity, trauma, working with creatives, and expansive relationships (i.e., ENM, Poly, Kink, Queer). They receive one-on-one weekly supervision from Dr. Ingrid Solano.

As a therapist, my mission is to empower future professionals to deeply understand and support their clients. I believe education in this field should go beyond technical knowledge and skills, cultivating a balance between expertise, evidence-based practices and measurement-based care, and emotional understanding. It should also include an elegance and fluidity in combining these abilities and skills. Our values emphasize lifelong learning, active listening, empathy, compassion, humility, and an open mind. In my experience, the most effective therapists approach each situation with adaptability and a nonjudgmental mindset, fostering a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for clients.

Working with high-profile clients requires more than technical skills—it requires a profoud understanding of the unique pressures that come with fame and influence. Therapists in our program gain the professionalism and emotional intelligence necessary to navigate these delicate relationships with care and respect. We teach how to provide exceptional support while protecting clients' personal and professional interests, including knowledge of the entertainment, music, and publishing industries, as well as the complexities of creativity and fame.

Teaching is a passion of mine, and I consider it a privilege to guide the next generation of therapists to not only be highly qualified but also deeply committed to the well-being of those they serve.
