Raquel Soteldo

Psychotherapist (Registered)

I am a non-judgmental, empathetic, trustworthy, and culturally aligned psychotherapist who works with individuals all over the world and with all types of presenting issues. I love my job and I love working with all my clients one-on-one. You can trust that you found a special confidant in me.

About Me

I guide individuals worldwide through diverse life challenges. As a non-judgmental, empathetic psychotherapist, I offer a confidential, one-on-one space. My culturally aligned approach means you'll find a trusted confidant here, ready to explore any issue. This dedicated support is ideal for those seeking clarity and a safe place to navigate their unique journey.

Approach

You’ll notice a steady, collaborative rhythm: we attend first to safety and clarity, then gently map patterns that keep old wounds active while respecting your cultural lens. From my Ottawa office or via secure online sessions in English or Spanish, sessions move between focused reflection, practical boundary and grounding skills, and compassionate exploration of painful memories; between meetings I may offer short tools or reflections to try. This approach tends to suit people recovering from abuse, trauma, codependency or navigating separation.
