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.

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
As a Northern California-based depth psychologist, I find that Telehealth can be just as effective as in-person therapy, with the added advantages of convenience and accessibility. While I appreciate working with people from all walks of life, I am especially passionate about helping people face transitions: elders, those in midlife, students, artists, thinkers, and my fellow therapists. I am also committed to helping couples to manage conflict and envision new ways of communicating and being together.
Everyone has the capacity to change, to heal their wounds, and to find ways to cope with the demands and difficulties of contemporary life.
We will collaborate to develop insight into your unique way of being and consider underlying or long-held patterns that either help or hinder you in navigating our world. From the core values of mutual regard, respectful dialogue, and humility, we will engage in a psychodynamic exploration of who you are, how you came to be where you are now, and where you dream of going.
