Jesus Solorio (el, he, him)

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, 111784.

I identify as Indigenous Xicano and was born and raised in Los Angeles (Tongva territory) by migrant parents from Michoacán (Purépecha territory), Mexico.

I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Community Mental Health from the California Institute of Integral Studies in 2012. I have worked in various settings as a Therapist, Lead Clinician, Supervisor, and Program Manager prior to starting Ollin Therapy. These include Instituto Familiar de la Raza, La Familia Counseling Service, the Community Mental Health Certificate Program at City College of San Francisco, and Kaiser Permanente.

In addition to my clinical work, I am a public speaker, trainer, and consultant with a focus on culturally congruent and Indigenous practices within the mental health field. I support organizations and providers in reimagining mental health through frameworks rooted in cultural wisdom, social justice, and ancestral knowledge.

My work is culturally responsive, rooted in social justice, trauma-informed, strength-based, and centered in re-indigenizing and liberation psychology. I utilize humor and focus deeply on the healing relationship. I incorporate multiple approaches, including narrative processes and trauma healing modalities.

I have apprenticed with Dr. Sal Nuñez in Medicinal Drumming Praxis and have been trained in Chicanx Affirmative Therapy, EMDR, and Somatics and Trauma from Generative Somatics. I am currently a member of the Council of 13 for the Institute of Chicana/o/x Psychology and an active member of the Latinx Therapist Action Network. I am also the co-owner/collaborator of Llapanchik Hampinakuy, a space that offers community connection and collective uplifting of Indigenous, Native and First Nation voices.

I honor and recognize my mentors and teachers along the way, beginning with my mother and older sisters, who have taught me lessons in strength, resiliency, and humility. As a therapist, my mentors include Maestra Concha Saucedo, Dr. Sal Nuñez, and Tio Samuelin Martinez, who have all shown me what it means to work from a place of authenticity and love. I am a Mexica Mitotiani and Huehuetero (Mexica Dancer and Drummer) with Calpulli Nanahuatzin. I am a husband and father to a young Huitzin (hummingbird).
