Meet your therapist
Hello, I'm Ali.
If you're facing a difficult situation, an overwhelming emotion, or a pattern that keeps disrupting your life — you're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out by yourself.
For more than a decade I've worked with adults, young adults, and couples from many cultures and walks of life — helping them through anxiety, stress, family and relationship strain, trauma, self-esteem, anger, and difficult decisions.
My approach is integrative and personal. I draw on CBT, Schema Therapy, EMDR, and DBT to shape sessions that are both effective and meaningful — and as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, anxiety is a particular focus of my work.
“Reaching out for help takes courage. If you're ready to begin your journey toward clarity, resilience, and well-being, I invite you to connect.”— Dr. Ali Solgi

Schema Therapy
Explore deeply rooted beliefs and life patterns to create lasting change and self-understanding.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
Process distressing memories in a safe, structured way to reduce their emotional charge and regain a sense of control.
