Tinia Holleman-Soto, LMFT

Tinia Holleman-Soto is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with a background in work across developmental, educational, and family systems. She completed a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and obtained a Pupil Personnel Services credential from the University of Southern California. Early in her career she worked as a behaviorist with children ages 0 to 3 who had developmental delays, collaborating closely with speech and occupational therapists, other marriage and family therapists, and the Regional Center.

In 2009 she shifted her focus to supporting children, teenagers, and families, working alongside psychiatrists, social workers, case managers, and school districts. Over her career she has supported parents of children with developmental delays and provided care for concerns such as depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress related to sexual, physical, and domestic abuse, crisis situations, and ADHD. Her experience spans individual, family, and child-focused work across a range of clinical needs.

Her clinical style draws on person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and existential approaches. She aims to meet people where they feel most comfortable while helping them examine how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect, and encouraging choices that reflect each person’s values and sense of authenticity. Sessions are approached collaboratively, with attention to reducing judgment and fostering a supportive team dynamic. Tinia brings 15 years of experience to her clinical work and maintains a commitment to compassionate, client-focused care.
