Meet one of our clinicians, Dr.Solis

Dr.Grethel Solis, PsyD
Bilingual Psychological Assistant (PSB940020988)

My name is Grethel Solis, and I reside in Los Angeles, CA. I received my BA in Psychology with a minor in Psychology and Law from the University of Southern California (USC) and a MA in Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I recently completed my PsyD (Doctor of Psychology) program at Cal Southern University. I have extensive experience helping women with history of domestic abuse and traumatization through my work at Centro de Bienestar Familiar as well as volunteering for the police department DART team.

I understand the complexity and underlying issues related to domestic violence and therefore I can understand the victim's roles, patterns, trauma, and healing process. Similarly, I work with the children of these victims who also go through their own traumatization with potential detrimental consequences to their healthy developmental process. Therefore, I undestand the need to be completely focused, committed, understanding and supportive when working with this population.

What’s your go to for a pick me up?

07/27/2020

Over the past few months, many of us have been experiencing grief. Jobs have been lost, loved ones have passed away, we stopped having social contact and so much more. Be gentle with yourself as you go through these stages. It’s also okay to reach out for help, you do not have to go through it alone.
