Raquel Soteldo is a Registered Psychotherapist, Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician, group therapy facilitator, clinical supervisor, organizational trainer, and Founder & Clinical Director of Soteldo Psychotherapy. She is also the founder of Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Clinic Canada™, where her work focuses on the treatment, education, and professional training related to narcissistic abuse, coercive control, complex relational trauma, and high-conflict relationship dynamics.
Raquel specializes in supporting individuals recovering from emotionally abusive relationships, gaslighting, trauma bonds, coercive control, codependency, attachment wounds, family-system trauma, and long-term relational harm. Her clinical approach is trauma-informed, evidence-informed, relational, and integrative, drawing from counselling psychology, attachment theory, psychodynamic formulation, CBT, mindfulness, somatic-informed stabilization, behavioural analysis, and family mediation.
In her work with clients, Raquel helps survivors rebuild self-trust, emotional safety, healthy boundaries, identity, nervous-system regulation, and relational clarity after narcissistic and emotional abuse. She offers individual psychotherapy as well as structured group therapy and psychoeducational programs designed to help survivors understand the patterns of abuse, process relational trauma, and move toward recovery with greater confidence and support.
Raquel also provides clinical supervision and mentorship for therapists and helping professionals who want to strengthen their trauma-informed practice, deepen their understanding of narcissistic abuse recovery, and develop greater confidence in working with complex relational dynamics. Her supervision integrates case formulation, ethical reflection, therapist development, trauma-informed assessment, and practical clinical skill-building.
As an organizational trainer, Raquel offers professional development and train-the-trainer programming for agencies and frontline teams, including police services, nurses, paramedics, social workers, clinicians, victim services, and community organizations. Her trainings are designed to help professionals recognize coercive control, respond to trauma with sensitivity, reduce retraumatization, improve documentation and referral practices, and strengthen confidence when working with survivors of abuse and high-conflict family systems.
Raquel’s work bridges clinical care, education, supervision, and systems-level training. Her mission is to support survivors in healing from relational trauma while equipping professionals and organizations with the knowledge, language, and tools needed to respond to abuse, trauma, and high-conflict dynamics with clarity, compassion, and clinical integrity.
