Narrative
Dr. Mazmanyan and Associates
Psychologist, Ph.D
Struggling with anxiety, relationship stress, or feeling overwhelmed? You don’t have to navigate it alone. At Dr. Mazmanyan & Associates, we provide attachment-based and relational therapy for individuals, couples, and families. We believe emotional healing and a sense of self develop through relationships and are shaped by early experiences, family dynamics, and cultural contexts. Therapy focuses on understanding how these patterns formed, honoring how they once served a purpose, and gently reshaping them to better support current relationships, emotional well-being, and self-trust.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Therapy with me is active, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices—we are doing real work together, not just talking about your week. Each session is intentional and engaging, focused on creating meaningful insight and change you can feel in your daily life.
I see myself as a warm, intuitive, and deeply attentive therapist who believes that meaningful change happens when people feel truly safe, accepted, and understood. My goal is to offer a nonjudgmental space where you can exhale—where you don’t have to have the right words, the right story, or the right reason to be there. Therapy with me is about feeling heard, finding clarity where things have felt confusing or stuck, and reconnecting with yourself in a way that feels real and sustainable.
I am deeply passionate about relationships, emotional honesty, self-acceptance, and the quiet, often unseen struggles people carry. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why they’re unhappy when, on the surface, life looks “fine.” I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, co-dependency, shame, guilt, and the lasting impact of past experiences or trauma. I also help people talk about things that are hard to name—topics that may feel embarrassing, stigmatized, or kept private for a long time.
I especially enjoy working with people who are curious about themselves and open to growth, even if they feel nervous or unsure at first. You don’t need to be “creative” or insightful to start—just willing to show up. Together, we gently explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns, and look for more flexible, compassionate ways of relating to yourself and the people you care about. Therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time; there can be space for curiosity, reflection, and even moments of lightness along the way.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies, offered with warmth and humanity. While we honor your past, our work focuses on what’s happening now—and on helping you feel more present, more grounded, and more aligned with your values. I strive to help clients move through life with greater awareness, emotional balance, and self-trust, while reducing the anxiety, sadness, or self-criticism that may be getting in the way.
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional difficulties, and mindfulness-based approaches, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills. In simple terms, this means we work together to notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors—and gently shift what’s no longer serving you. These approaches are practical, supportive, and designed to help you feel better, not just understand why you feel the way you do.
At its heart, therapy with me is about building a genuine, supportive relationship—one that helps you feel more like yourself, more connected to others, and more confident in how you move through your life.

Irvine is one of the wealthiest and most planned cities in the United States — anchored by UC Irvine and home to the regional headquarters of dozens of major corporations — with a therapy community shaped by the intersection of high-achievement academic culture, tech and finance sector burnout, and a large East Asian population that brings distinct cultural dimensions to help-seeking and mental health. The city's majority-minority population — with Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Iranian communities among the most prominent — drives strong demand for multilingual therapists who can work across multiple cultural frameworks. Hoag Hospital and the UCI Health system provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-established private practice community serving Irvine's planned residential villages. UCI's clinical psychology training program supplies a significant number of therapists to the broader Orange County ecosystem.
