Lizabeth Belli
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Women’s experiences are complex and deeply shaped by relationships, identities, and the seasons of life. I support women navigating transitions—career shifts,grief, creative burnout, or menopausal transition—who are ready to reconnect with their voice, body, and sense of self. My approach is trauma-informed and relational, honoring both the strength and tenderness that define women’s inner worlds.

When You’re Carrying Too Much
As women, we often move through life balancing everything — work, relationships, caregiving, identity, and the invisible pressure to handle it all with grace. You may be outwardly capable and composed while inside you feel depleted, resentful, or unsure who you are beneath all the roles you play. Maybe you’re constantly taking care of everyone else, striving to meet impossible standards, or feeling guilt no matter what you do. Perhaps you’ve lost touch with your sense of joy, rest, or voice — the parts of you that feel most alive.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you reconnect with yourself and create a life that feels grounded, balanced, and authentic. You’ll learn how to:
Identify and challenge beliefs that keep you stuck in guilt or perfectionism
Strengthen your boundaries and rediscover your own needs and values
Reduce anxiety and overwhelm through neuroscience-based tools
Rebuild confidence and self-trust in relationships and decision-making
Experience calm, freedom, and clarity in place of pressure and self-doubt
This work is not about “fixing” you — it’s about helping you feel at home in your own life, with space for both ambition and rest, care and boundaries, strength and softness.
I BELIEVE:
You can be nurturing without losing yourself.
You don’t have to earn rest or worthiness — they’re already yours.
Setting boundaries is an act of love, not rejection.
Growth doesn’t mean becoming someone else; it means coming home to yourself.
Women heal best in spaces that honor their complexity, courage, and truth.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Many women come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or quietly disconnected from themselves. You may be juggling relationships, family, work, and expectations—often putting your own needs last. Therapy offers a space just for you: to slow down, be honest, and explore what you’re carrying without guilt or judgment. I work with women navigating anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relationship stress, identity shifts, and the emotional weight of caregiving. Together, we focus on helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to who you are and what you want, so you can move through your life with greater clarity and self-trust.
