Soraya Cartwright, LPCC

If you’re feeling weighed down by pain, disconnection, or broken trust, I see you. Maybe you feel like you’re walking on eggshells, afraid to disturb the fragile peace. Or perhaps reminders of betrayal trigger an emotional whirlwind in you, leaving you wondering, “Can we ever repair this?” Hi, I’m Soraya, and I’m so glad you’re here. I want you to know that healing is possible. You can rebuild understanding and rediscover true connection with your partner. I’ve worked with many couples and individuals who have found their way back to each other, and I believe you can, too. Together, we can work toward restoration and renewal.

With a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health, I specialize in working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including adults and couples. My professional journey is characterized by continuous learning and development, as I firmly believe in adapting my approaches to meet the evolving needs of my clients. In addition, I am certified in the Prepare & Enrich program, which is instrumental in assessing and enhancing premarital and marital relationships, as well as brain-spotting. My approach to therapy is highly individualized, ensuring that each person's unique needs are met with empathy and insight.

Before professional counseling, I accumulated extensive experience in various professional settings. As the founder and CEO of a memory preservation business, I combined my entrepreneurial spirit with my leadership skills to create a successful company dedicated to preserving cherished memories. This entrepreneurial journey, combined with my role as Executive Vice President at a major corporation, where I managed large
teams and developed key organizational strategies, has refined my ability to understand and support individuals from diverse backgrounds. These experiences have uniquely equipped me to provide compassionate and
effective counseling.

In my therapeutic practice, I integrate a range of effective methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, Relationship Life Therapy (RLT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. My commitment to psycho-education ensures that those I work with have the knowledge and tools necessary to achieve personal growth. I believe in the power of therapy to guide individuals from a place of despair and vulnerability to one of strength, recovery, and happiness.

My faith as a Christian counselor informs my compassionate approach. As a Gottman certified specialist, I aim to be a conduit for growth and healing, helping individuals renew their minds and embrace a healthier mindset. It is gratifying to witness those I work with evolve from deep depression and anxiety to newfound hope and resilience. I love helping individuals and couples achieve peace, personal insight, and an empowered mindset to face life transitions and future challenges.
