Guadalupe Solis, LMFT, EMDR Certified Therapist
Welcome! Bienvenidos!
I’m Guadalupe Solis, a licensed marriage and family therapist that is certified in EMDR therapy. I have a passion for empowering women to manage their anxiety and bring peace to their mind and bodies.
THE MISSION
To empower women to be the best they can be and achieve both career success and personal fulfillment.
ABOUT GUADALUPE SOLIS, LMFT
Change is possible.
As a first-generation Mexican American; I know the stigma that exists around mental health in marginalized communities. Often the message taught is to be strong and carry on, or aguántate. However, you may be at a point in your life where that message no longer serves you.
My own story includes pain, and loss. I’ve dealt with negative beliefs that kept me stuck or got in the way of pursuing my dreams. I’ve struggled with learning how to live with grief while embracing life and maintaining a connection to my deceased loved ones. Therapy has supported my journey and empowered me to help others live their best life.
My intention is to create a space in the therapy session that is affirming, empowering and where you can express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. I integrate mindfulness, and a wellness view that incorporates mind-body-spirit. The interventions that I use are individualized to your needs.
I work with women who often felt overwhelmed and anxious. Being high achievers and the person that others could always count on, left them feeling exhausted, stuck and feeling like they were never quite enough. Never enough time in the day to do everything that needs to get done. They are trying to learn to be more compassionate with themselves, to pay attention to their mind, body and spirit as they change the internal messages and pursue their goals.
If you are ready to start investing in your healing journey, to show up for yourself like you do for so many others, you are my people. Together we can work to clear away the blocks that stop you from pursuing the dreams in your heart.
Guadalupe Solis, LMFT specializes in treating anxiety, grief and loss and trauma.
Guadalupe as a licensed marriage and family therapist is…
EMDR Certified Therapist (EMDRIA)
I have witnessed the power that EMDR therapy can have in helping to improve people’s lives. I became passionate about learning beyond the basic EMDR training because of my commitment to clinical excellence and my lifelong learning mindset. I followed the guidelines set forth by EMDRIA, the EMDR International Association and and am a EMDR Certified Therapist.
The healing power of Creative Expression
As a licensed marriage and family therapist trained in clinical art therapy, and as a published author in a peer-reviewed art therapy journal, I am trained to integrate the expressive arts in therapy process.
You do not need any training in art because it is not about the final product that you make. It is about discovering how your experience engaging in the creative and meaning making process informs your healing journey. Art therapy can effectively be integrated in EMDR therapy as well.

Specializes in Grief and Loss
If you have experienced traumatic bereavement, which is experiencing a traumatic loss of a loved one, such as deaths that are violent, unexpected, or due to human actions, you may be at risk for a variety of mental health and physical health concerns. I understand and am able to provide the sensitive and competent care needed in this area. For more information on my training, go here.
Strengths-based
The only way you could have made it to this website is that you developed a lot of ways to survive in life and I honor that and I trust you to keep doing what’s working. In our work together, I will help you with what’s not working. We will also strengthen and build on the ways of coping that are headed in a healthy direction.
California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT ) Certified Supervisor
I went beyond the BBS requirements for supervision because of my commitment to addressing the mental health crisis by providing ethical and competent clinical supervision to therapist-in training. As a CAMFT Certified Supervisor, I also provide supervision consultation to clinical supervisors.
