Mishi Soto is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate and a first-generation American raised between two cultures. Her mother immigrated from South Korea and her father from Germany, she grew up navigating the richness and complexity of different worldviews, values, and ways of relating. This unique cultural upbringing fostered a deep appreciation for the many ways people experience life, make meaning of their emotions, and define fulfillment. Today, that perspective remains at the core of her therapeutic approach, helping her create a space that honors each client's unique story and lived experience.

Before entering the mental health field, Mishi earned her degree as a Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialist. While working in healthcare, she witnessed firsthand the profound connection between emotional and physical health, including the effects of stress, trauma, and grief on the body. Experiences such as seeing Takotsubo syndrome, often referred to as “broken heart syndrome,” deepened her understanding of how emotional pain can physically manifest and inspired her to pursue a path focused on deeper healing and whole-person care.

Mishi believes mental health cannot be separated from the body, relationships, culture, or environment. Her approach to therapy is holistic, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that healing happens when every part of a person is acknowledged and supported.

She brings warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for each client’s unique story. Her practice is a space free from judgment, where clients are encouraged to exhale, be honest, and reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways.

Mishi has experience supporting individuals, couples and families navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and trauma. She draws from evidence-based approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Narrative Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and holistic practices to help clients move toward healing, self-understanding, and growth.
