About Me
My name is Salma Soliman
I am a sunshine enthusiast with a deep love for animals—I share my home with two adorable cats! I thrive in the warmth of sunny weather and cherish the vibrant energy of the summer season.
​
In my personal journey, I've discovered the power of authenticity and the importance of bravely sharing my voice with others. It's a journey that's led me to appreciate my own resilience and deepen my sense of connection and belonging to others.
​
When I'm not basking in the sun or cuddling with my cats, you'll find me immersed in DIY projects, painting, or enjoying the spontaneity of improv.
I believe in embracing life's creative possibilities and finding joy when and where I can.
Training and Education
With a strong foundation in psychology and philosophy from Rutgers University, I pursued a career dedicated to helping individuals navigate their mental health challenges. I further honed my skills and knowledge by earning a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California.
My professional journey includes specialized training in treating eating disorders, where I've developed a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding these conditions. I am well-versed in various therapeutic modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Family Based Treatment, and Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
With over a decade of experience in both individual and group therapy settings, I have not only provided direct support to clients but have also contributed to program development, ensuring that services are tailored to meet the evolving needs of those I serve. So, I started Brave You Therapy.
My commitment to ongoing learning is unwavering, as I continue to explore new approaches and interventions. I am particularly interested in expanding my expertise to include Internal Family Systems and Gottman Couples Therapy. I recognize the importance of holistic and evidence-based practices in fostering positive change and growth.
