Meet Cristal

Hello! Hola!

I’m Cristal Guerrero, a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Soluna Therapy.

As a first-generation Mexican American raised in South Central Los Angeles, my identity and upbringing have deeply shaped who I am. I understand what it can be like to navigate different cultures, expectations, and environments while trying to find your own voice and sense of direction. These experiences ultimately inspired my commitment to making mental health care feel more approachable, culturally responsive, and inclusive.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz. My experience there introduced me to new perspectives and deepened my understanding of identity, access, and privilege. I later earned my Master of Science in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy, where I discovered how meaningful it felt to support others through healing and growth. I am also trained in EMDR and incorporate somatic and mind-body approaches into my work.

Outside of being a therapist, I’m someone who values balance, connection, and enjoying the small moments. You can usually find me staying active, trying a new brunch spot with my girlfriends, or spending quality time with my family. These are the things that help me feel grounded, present, and connected to myself.

My personal and professional experiences have taught me that growth doesn’t always happen in a straight line, and that every part of our story can help us better understand who we are becoming.
