Justine Soto, founder of Therapy Hat, is NOT your average therapist.

I understand that healthy intimacy and effective communication are the cornerstones of fulfilling relationships

Values & Principles

Clear & Transparent Communication

I practice a direct form of therapy by explaining methods, the goals of therapy, and what you can expect, fostering a sense of trust and collaboration. Together the aim is to minimize ambiguity and misunderstanding, making it easier for you to grasp the therapeutic process and insights.

Empowerment

We will work towards you making comfortable decisions regarding your own sexual health and well-being. We will develop the skills and self-awareness necessary to navigate your sexual life confidently.

Promoting Change

The ultimate goal of therapeutic confrontation is to facilitate change. By confronting maladaptive patterns, you can work on modifying behaviors, thoughts, or emotions to lead to a more fulfilling life.

Identify Denial or Avoidance

This process encourages you to recognize when your actions or beliefs are not aligned with their goals or values. I will help by pointing out inconsistencies or contradictions in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Inclusivity & Cultural Competence

I recognize and respect the diverse cultural, religious, and societal backgrounds of all my clients. . Having this level of awareness is crucial when examining how cultural factors can influence sexual beliefs and behaviors.

Fostering Self Reflection

Through confrontation, I encourage you to engage in self-reflection and consider alternative perspectives. This self-examination can lead to increased self-awareness and personal growth.

Justine Zenaida Soto, LMHC, LPC, CST

AASECT Certified Sex Therapist

Welcome to my world of transformative therapy, where candid conversations and a direct, no-nonsense approach are the cornerstones of my practice. I'm Justine Soto, a sex therapist with a unique style that sets me apart in the field. My mission is to empower individuals and couples to take control of their sexual well-being, break down barriers, and embrace a fulfilling, satisfying life.

My therapy style is direct and confrontational, which may not be for everyone, but it's the key to breaking free from the limitations that hold us back in our intimate lives. I don't shy away from the tough questions, and I encourage my clients to do the same. Together, we create a space where nothing is off-limits, and where you can explore your desires, fears, and curiosities without judgment.

I have dedicated my life to helping people navigate the complex and often delicate realm of relationships, dating and human sexuality. My passion for this work was ignited by the belief that frank, honest discussions about sex can be liberating and, ultimately, life-changing. I firmly believe that true healing and personal growth come from confronting the issues head-on, and that's exactly what I bring to the table.

In our sessions you can expect:

  • Challenging Assumptions

    I'll challenge societal norms and conventional wisdom to help you break free from the constraints that may be affecting your sexual satisfaction.

  • Candid Conversations

    I foster open, honest, and straightforward dialogues about your sexual concerns and desires, creating a safe and non-judgmental environment.

  • Empowerment

    My approach empowers you to take charge of your sexuality, embrace your identity, and make choices that align with your true desires.
