Soleil Minnella, LMHC
Hi! my name is Soleil (So-Lay) - I have been a Therapist for many years and have worked with an array of populations. However, though I have worked with different diagnoses, my main "skill" is to just be human-what does this mean? WELL, I get how hard life can be sometimes because I am human too! I want to be that person that you can go to just to "talk" and be that person "in your corner" which many people do not have, especially in communities such as the LGBTQ+ which I specialize in. However, if you are searching for "deeper" therapy, I have experience with that as well, such as Psychoanalysis!
