Sophia has completely changed my opinion on therapy. She is intelligent, comforting, kind, and just fun to talk to. I feel lighter after every session, and I always learn something new. She is my angel, and I can never thank her enough.

I have nothing but great things to say about Sophia! Within just the first session with her I felt very at ease, as she listens carefully, shows compassion and is very informative about how our nervous systems work. Highly recommend!

More about Sophia

  • 30 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 30 years of work experience. I have worked with individuals with issues of anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, self-esteem, borderline personality disorder, and the full range of psychotic symptoms and mood disorders. I also have experience and am comfortable working with couples and families. I am a practical, interactive solution focused therapist and incorporate a blend of conventional and alternative approaches - drawing upon a variety of styles and techniques in the process. I have worked with a very diverse population of clients and in many different settings-from acute emergency-based care to community mental health setting to private practice. I take special pride in cultivating a spirit of caring and respect for everyone I see regardless of the problems or issues they might bring to counseling.

It takes courage to embark on the healing journey that is counseling. My focus is to work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement as they commence the process that will hopefully lead to a sense of wellbeing and vitality. Working at a thought and feelings level can be the catalyst for unraveling the puzzle that is our lives and can lead as well to the resolution of problems and issues that limit our capacity to lead productive and happy lives as we develop the skills needed to navigate the difficulties encountered in daily lives. My passion is to support each individual’s journey with hope as they travel the road to wholeness, wellness, freedom and empowerment. It takes courage to undertake this venture and I am grateful and honored to be able to encourage and validate the personal strength and willingness needed to take this big step forward.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I absolutely love Ms Sophia! I had a different therapist in the beginning but we didn’t click like I wanted. Ms Sophia and I mesh very well so far! She’s very attentive and shows concern like I need. She also asks questions to get me to open up which is what I needed. You don’t always know what is a trigger for yourself until someone says something that reminds you.

Sophia is the ear when you need it most, the voice of reason when sometimes you need to hear it, and in general, the most sincere, kind, empathetic person. I couldn't recommend Sophia more.

Sophia is the absolute best. Her kindness and support has helped me through the worst that I’ve experienced. To have someone that is understanding and open minded about your current situation, she creates a safe place for me to openly talk about myself, my struggles, and things on my mind. Throughout my therapy sessions, she’s always helped me address my concerns and provides different materials to find a solution to my issues. I’ve never met anyone so kind, compassionate, and beyond understanding. All my sessions with Sophia had opened my perception on approaching things in a different way. I would highly recommend Sophia, she is without a doubt - a wonderful soul.

Sophia is truly amazing! I feel confident that she listens to me and takes great notes because she is able to recall details of situations and people we've spoken about even after weeks have past since the last detailed discussion. Sophia is extremely personable, empathetic and relatable. So much to the point where there are times when we converse as if we were friends that have known each other for years. And to be honest, she has saved my life. I whole heartedly recommend Sophia to anyone who truly needs a therapist that not only listens, but listens to the point where they CAN and WILL offer the kind of support you need but would have never expected!
