D. Raul Sol, PH.D., LP
Director & Licensed Psychologist
Personal Statement
As director of the treatment team at Meaningful Change, my role is to provide supervision and integrative strategies to our multi-disciplinary team. While each treatment provider here contributes their specialized skills and unique therapeutic style, I work to ensure that the scientist-practitioner method is applied across treatment domains.
In my own practice and patient care, I work to demystify the complexities of psychological disorders, before rigorously targeting clinical domains that lead to disorder and emotional pain. My approach is scientifically governed, directive, organized, and goal driven. I particularly enjoy treating complex and difficult cases, and those patients who have felt lost in the mental health system.
The ultimate goal of clinical work is not only the alleviation of psychopathology and symptoms, but the realization of long-term aspirations, the pursuit of meaning, and interpersonal satisfaction. I partner with patients to make these deep and meaningful changes.
Practice Philosophy & Treatment Approach
Dr. Sol believes that his first duty as a practitioner is the alleviation of human suffering. While this can take many forms in psychotherapy, he believes that empirically derived treatments with proven effectiveness, must be the first tools of any clinician. Dr. Sol strives to bring a depth of understanding to the complexity of human behavior. He believes that with the right motivation, the right strategy, and careful counsel, outcomes that were previously thought unimaginable may yet be realized.
Treatment Focus & Specialty
In his individual work, Dr. Sol specializes in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and its associated presentations, which may include anxiety and mood disorders, self-destructive behaviors, or various personality maladaptations. He offers a close examination of symptoms, empirically valid treatments, and an individualized approach to patient care.
