Donna Sotomayor

Hi! I’m Donna and I’m a second generation Vietnamese American therapist. As a daughter of immigrants, I learned that mental health among the BIPOC communities was and is a need that still carries stigma and isn’t as accessible as it should be. It is my goal to provide quality and accessible care to BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities while simultaneously normalizing mental health care. I offer individual and relationship therapy to BIPOC Gen Z & Millennials who are wanting to improve their relationships with themselves and their loved ones. I realize that rherapy can be scary and intimidating and I’m here to make it feel more approachable. You are encouraged to show up as your full self, even on days when you don’t even want to do therapy, because I get it.

My approach to therapy is person-centered and relational, meaning I treat you as the expert of your own life (cause you are), am non-judgmental, and encourage authenticity in and outside of the therapeutic space. I also strongly emphasize relationships, patterns, and systems that encompass us all. That will look like us exploring your family dynamics and other relationships to see how they’re influencing your presenting concerns then tying it all in to encourage personal growth and healthier relationships and habits.
