Hi, I’m Sol. It’s an honor to meet you!

My full name is Maria Del Sol Cordova and I go by Sol. I'm a Chicana, first-born to two Mexican immigrants. It’s a privilege to serve the Austin area along with the surrounding cities.

My passion for therapy is rooted in my desire to help others find their way back to themselves. As a daughter of Mexican immigrants, I was raised hearing stories of the dreams and aspirations my parents had for my sisters and I. Like many first-generation students and young adults, I felt my self-worth was tied to my achievements in meeting those dreams. My journey through college, non-profit work, and therapy training led me to discover my own voice and a life-long commitment to helping others find happiness in their authentic self. We are not what we accomplish and our worth is not tied to it. We are enough by simply being.
