Sofia is a holistic psychotherapist having completed two psychology masters’ degrees. Her background as a yoga teacher, meditation instructor, and artist inform her approaches to working with the mind. Her years of clinical experience have taken her from work with at-risk youth to those with terminal illness. Sofia works with the real world issues of our human lives; grief, loss, fear, anxiety, depression, sadness, and doubt. She works to help people locate the connection between the internal experiences of the mind and the lived experience of the body. This body-based approach to psychotherapy is a great way to work with the fatigue and hopelessness of chronic pain, illness, work-related stress, relational strains, and ongoing anxiety. Her goal is to build therapeutic relationships that allow the client to feel safe, express their unique struggle, and explore alternative perspectives to that struggle that might make life a little more manageable.
If you’re new to therapy, this is a great place to start. If you’re looking for a clinician who is body-based, and committed to mindfulness-based approaches, Sofia is it. Her work couples well with the hands-on approach of our Osteopaths and Massage therapists. All treatments are booked on the hour and a sliding scale rate is available upon request.
Sofia has completed her doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD). She is a member [6618-G] of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP) and registered with the CRPO. Please check your extended health care benefits in advance to make sure psychotherapy is listed (not Psychologist, or Social Worker) if you would like to be reimbursed.
