This is the foundation of Dr. Sophia’s work. Psychodynamic therapy helps you look beneath the surface to understand how your early experiences, relationships, and emotions shape your current patterns. Together, you’ll explore recurring themes, unconscious beliefs, and the stories you carry, so you can make sense of why you feel the way you do and begin to relate to yourself with greater awareness and compassion.

ACT focuses on helping you live a life guided by your core values. Rather than fighting painful thoughts or emotions, Dr. Sophia will help you practice making space for them, while still moving toward what truly matters to you. You’ll learn ways to stay grounded, flexible, and aligned with what gives your life meaning.

DBT provides tools to help manage intense emotions and strengthen relationships. You’ll work on skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and effective communication. These can be especially helpful if you tend to feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in patterns that lead to conflict or burnout.

Our bodies often hold onto experiences our minds haven’t yet processed. Somatic therapy helps you tune into your body’s signals, like tension, restlessness, or fatigue, and understand what they might be trying to tell you. By becoming more aware of the body’s wisdom, you can release stored stress and restore a greater sense of balance.

A trauma-informed approach means that safety, trust, and choice are always central. Whether your experiences are rooted in specific events or long-term stress, Dr. Sophia will ensure that you move at a pace that feels right for you. The goal is not to revisit trauma for its own sake, but to help your nervous system and sense of self regain stability and resilience.
