Another installment of our Meet the Therapist Series✨

Say hello to Nia, an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist whose practice is rooted in solution-focused and person-centered care. She integrates psychoeducation, ABA, CBT, strengths-based and feminist approaches, and trauma-informed, multicultural care to support clients navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism, depression, grief, and loss.

Nia has experience working with children, adolescents, teens, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds, and she views each person as a whole human with a unique story that matters in the healing process. With a mix of integrative modalities and healthy humor, she creates a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported as they step into their own growth.

Outside the therapy room, Nia finds grounding in creative spaces—art, dance, literature, and poetry—which all inform the way she shows up for her clients. She’s truly excited to be part of The REAL Institute team and to walk alongside those ready to do the inner work needed to navigate life with more confidence and self-trust.

Noticing the same argument on repeat?
Feeling like you’re talking, but not really being heard?
Conflict that never fully gets resolved?

Often, it’s not just “one big issue” bringing people to therapy—it’s repeating patterns in relationships that leave you feeling stuck. Therapy can help you slow things down, notice what’s happening underneath the surface, and create space for something different.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Myth: “Therapy is only for when everything is falling apart.”

In reality, many people come to therapy long before a crisis—during life transitions, seasons of growth, or when something just feels “off” and hard to name. Support can be helpful at any stage, whether you’re untangling a big decision, navigating a relationship shift, or simply wanting to know yourself better.

If you’ve wondered whether your situation is “serious enough” for therapy, this is your sign that you don’t have to wait.

At The REAL Institute, we help you notice, challenge, and rewrite that inner dialogue so it supports healing, healthy relationships, and sustainable growth.

Feeling nervous about starting therapy or booking that first session? You’re not alone. 💜

Therapy isn’t just for moments of crisis—it’s a space to get curious, sort through the “I’m not sure,” and have someone walk alongside you as you figure things out. There’s no “right way” to show up, and you don’t have to have the perfect words or a clear plan.

At The R.E.A.L. Institute, your intake session is a collaborative conversation designed to understand you, your story, and what support could look like moving forward.

Curious about what to expect in your first session? Save this post and share with someone who might be on the fence about reaching out.

Meet the Therapist ✨
Say hello to Darcy Soga, APCC #21510 (she/her), one of our Associate Clinicians at The REAL Institute.

Darcy works from a warm, person-centered lens, tailoring each session to your unique goals, needs, and story. She especially enjoys supporting teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, and identity questions.

With training in CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based approaches, yoga, and Reiki, Darcy brings a collaborative mind–body perspective to the therapy room—always at a pace and depth that feels right for you.

When she’s not with clients, you can find Darcy curled up with a good book or show, cooking, playing board games, and spending quality time with loved ones.

We had such a great time attending the Evolve Adolescent Behavioral Health Open House in Elk Grove yesterday 🤍

Evolve supports adolescents and their families through evidence-based mental health and substance use programs, offering a higher level of care when teens need more than traditional therapy.

We loved getting a glimpse into their space and connecting with others who are deeply committed to supporting youth in our community. Opportunities like this are a reminder of how important collaboration is in this work.

So good connecting with:

Collaboration like this is what strengthens the continuum of care for our community.

If you’re looking to learn more about Evolve or explore if they may be a good fit for someone you’re supporting, feel free to reach out 💫
