Ingrid Solano, PhD
One of the most important decisions you will make when considering psychotherapy is who you choose as your therapist. Can you be your authentic self with them? Are they nonjudgmental, open, and curious about you? Do they understand you in context?
Are they well trained?
Relationships
Relationships require fairness, not necessarily equity. Fairness is cultivated in the true understanding of another’s points of view, being responsible and accountable for our own behaviors, and taking action to address past mistakes and future growth.
Motivation to resolve problems is the first step...
Connection / Values / Communication / Fulfillment / Meaning / Self & Other / Systemic Context / Authenticity / Intimacy / Understanding
Diversity
Differences in identity, personality/character, and perspectives promote innovation, change, and growth. Diversity and inclusivity bring value to all our lives.
Diversity is transformational.
Inclusive / Affirming / Individuality / LGBTQIA+ / Intersectional / Cultural Humility / Strength / Community / Identity / CNM / Sexuality / Systems & Context / Support
Creativity
A creative spirit, openness to growth, and childlike wonder for experiences and people are fostered by a sense of calm and well-being.
Vulnerability is a source of innovation and change.
Burnout / Inspiration / Balance / Process / Innovation / Motivation / Exploration / Evolution / Openness / Self-Discovery / Passion / Well-Being

"I came to Dr. Solano at a time where my anxiety was out of control and my thought management process felt nearly nonexistent. With her clear guidance and compassionate yet firm presence, I felt safe, supported, and motivated to let myself open up and rebuild myself. She is wonderful!"

"INGRID IS THE BEST! A year ago my partner and I could barely talk about sex. I did not know how to communicate what I wanted and they didn’t know how to receive the communication. It was super vanilla and I didn’t feel sexually connected to them. Fast forward to now we go to sex parties, have threesomes, and are adventurous and open! I feel like I finally found that one missing piece of our relationship and I’m so happy!"
