Dr Madeline Sotomil

Licensed Psychologist

Verified

I am an experienced, competent, and compassionate counsellor/psychologist who believes that every person has the capacity to heal, thrive, and find meaning in life.

About Me

As an experienced psychologist, I offer a compassionate space grounded in the belief that each person has an innate capacity for healing. I gently support individuals through life’s challenges, helping them uncover their strengths and potential. My approach is well suited for those navigating difficult transitions, building resilience, and seeking deeper meaning in their daily lives.

Approach

Change often begins when curiosity meets steady support, allowing difficult experiences to be named and held with care. I work at a pace you set so you feel understood and safe. Sessions blend focused listening, gentle skill-building and meaning-making. We unpack patterns from trauma, mood shifts, faith questions, or painful life turns and practice small, usable steps between meetings.
