Hola, I’m Dr. Giselle Soler Lopez, a Licensed Psychologist with over a decade of experience supporting immigrant communities. As a daughter of immigrants myself, I understand the complexities of migration, the challenges of navigating multiple cultures, balancing family expectations with personal identity, and the weight of generational resilience.
In therapy, I specialize in working with adult children of immigrants, young adults in transition, and professionals navigating life’s complexities. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive, creating a space where you can explore your experiences with compassion and without judgment. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or the pressure to succeed, I will support you in uncovering your strengths and fostering self-acceptance. I am also deeply invested in providing trauma treatment to individuals who have suffered adverse life experiences. I am committed to creating a safe and empowering space for individuals to heal. I look forward to supporting you in exploring your story, strengthening your sense of self, and moving toward a life that aligns with your values.
I also provide comprehensive psychological evaluations for immigration cases. I have extensive experience as a forensic evaluator and former Clinical Director at a nonprofit serving immigrant survivors of torture, where I successfully conducted evaluations for individuals seeking asylum in the U.S. My expertise allows me to provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive assessments that highlight the psychological impact of persecution, displacement, and family separation. I specialize in conducting trauma-informed and culturally responsive evaluations for Asylym, Hardship Waivers, Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), U Visa, T Visa, Cancelation of Removal, and Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS). My approach is compassionate, thorough, and grounded in an understanding of the unique challenges immigrants face. I strive to provide an affirming space where clients feel heard and supported throughout this critical process.
In addition to evaluations, I offer consultation services for therapists, attorneys, and organizations working with immigrant populations. I can provide guidance or training on working with trauma survivors, navigating cross-cultural considerations, or improving clinical documentation for immigration cases. If you are an individual in need of an evaluation or a professional seeking expert consultation, I invite you to connect with me.
