Meet Nina Soares
Nina Soares, co-founder of the Safe Soul Center, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, whose holistic approach emphasizes the mind, body, soul, spirit connection in promoting health and wellness. She believes in the individual’s capacity for self-healing and self-actualization and offers a safe and supportive environment that promotes self-discovery and transformation. Personal transformation often starts with a particular event in our life that requires we begin a journey of self-discovery. We may not be able to change events; however the meaning we choose to give them can have a powerful effect on our future.
Nina utilizes a wide range of psychotherapeutic modalities with a focus on body-centered psychotherapy which is experiential in nature. She is guided by the Hakomi Method which emphasizes the importance of recognizing core material and strongly held beliefs and patterns of behavior once adaptive in nature that have become the root cause of one’s suffering. She is passionate about walking with each individual in this self-discovery process to begin creating a new reality full of possibility and promise. Therapy is collaborative and personalized to meet the unique needs of the individual. She also integrates other modalities when appropriate, which include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Nina has been working with individuals within the Partial Hospital Programs at Butler Hospital.
Nina specializes in working with individuals in addressing and managing depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, and life transitions. Nina’s interests include the impact our emotional health has on our physical being. She has an affection for working with individual’s struggling with chronic illness or those caretaking for individuals with chronic illness. If you are feeling stuck, stressed by life’s demands, going through a significant transition, searching for meaning and purpose in your life, or just feeling lonely, therapy can be the first step in your healing journey.
“Perhaps the biggest tragedy of our lives is that freedom is possible, yet we can pass our years trapped in the same old patterns…”
