Hector Soto, LCSW

Professional Bio

Hi My name is Hector Soto and I’m an LCSW therapist with 20 years of experience in mental health, having served in various capacities across social services, schools, hospitals, and outpatient settings. My journey into this field started with a desire to help others, initially leading me to pursue pre-med with a focus on pediatrics. However, a twist of fate brought me to an abnormal child psychology class, and that experience ignited my true calling. Throughout my career, I’ve witnessed the profound strength of the human spirit, even in the face of devastating events. This journey has taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, and I am continually inspired by the capacity for growth that resides within each person.

Every day, I have the privilege of stepping into the arena with my clients, working together to navigate the challenges that create internal distress. I believe that mental health is vital for emotional growth and stability, and providing this service brings me immense fulfillment. My mission is to treat each individual with dignity and worth, using best practice methods to help them heal and develop resilience. I’ve fought the good fight and I’m committed to continuing this journey alongside those I serve. There is no higher purpose for me than helping others become healthy and stable individuals.

Outside of my practice, I enjoy the companionship of my five furry friends, who are my own little team of four-legged therapists. I cherish time spent with my family, attending church, and staying active through exercise. I believe that embracing kindness towards oneself is essential, and I encourage my clients to step into their fears and push for personal growth. In that mental gym, every effort leads to success.

I’m looking forward to learning more about you!

Sincerely,
Hector Soto, LCSW
