About Tinia
Tinia Holleman-Soto is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting struggles, trauma, and related concerns. Tinia aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk honestly about what’s hard for them.
She trained at the University of Southern California and holds a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Early in her career she worked with very young children with developmental delays and collaborated with speech and occupational therapists and regional services. That background gave her a practical view of how everyday supports fit into therapeutic work.
Over 15 years she expanded into work with children, teens, and families dealing with mood disorders, ADHD, abuse, crisis situations, and school-related challenges. She has experience coordinating care with psychiatrists, social workers, case managers, and school districts when that collaboration helps a client.
Tinia typically blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and existential ideas. She focuses on helping people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also encourages clients to consider what matters most to them and to act with greater authenticity.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person. Tinia describes therapy as a team effort where she supports people to reduce shame, address painful patterns, and build practical skills for daily life. She welcomes those ready to begin exploring change and growth.
