It takes courage to seek help. Whether you are trying to make an important decision, facing a crisis, or in the middle of a major transition in your life, it makes sense to seek counsel. Something has shifted, and the coping strategies that used to carry you through are not quite holding the weight anymore.
My clients are adults who want to think carefully about what is happening to them and make meaningful choices about what comes next. You do not have to have the answers when you arrive. You need the space to slow down, hear yourself, and work through it with someone who is genuinely in your corner.

Why do we keep choosing the hard path?
Why do we react in ways that push others away?
Why does “healthy” feel so unfamiliar?
These are the kinds of questions I explore with my clients. Together, we build awareness, uncover patterns, and move toward healing—because talking really can be transformative.
I work individually with adults, adolescents, and children, offering a supportive space tailored to each stage of life.
I also have a strong passion for parenting and relationship counseling—helping families and couples navigate challenges, strengthen communication, and build more connected, intentional relationships.

My name is Sonia McKee and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LW61517947) and have experience as Mental Health Therapist. Growing up, I thought there was something wrong with me because I was so scared of life and failure. There were times when I could not stop the racing thoughts, my heart beating so fast, feeling like I was out of breath, sleepless nights, headaches, and muscle tension. I tried to ignore my worries, fears, anxieties, and stress. Mental health and treatment were very stigmatized, which lead to me suffering quietly.

If you're reading this, you probably feel stuck. Such a tough spot to be in; I'd love to help get you unstuck. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in my Greek family's restaurants. Working as a family unit gave me a unique perspective on connecting with people from all walks of life. In training to become a therapist, I found many of the things I loved about waitressing existed in the therapy room; laughter, sharing culture and stories, and forming lasting connections. I take a more laid back attitude and prefer a supportive, collaborative environment; if you're afraid of a stuffy session, don't worry, that's not my style.

Hi there, I'm Sonia! You may be feeling hurt, stressed, anxious, worried, misunderstood, and unsure. Life can push and pull in many directions until you feel lost and disconnected. I get the opportunity to work collaboratively with you to manage these feelings and create positive change, and manage emotional distress. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention therapy to combine working with a person's thinking style, exposure therapy to teach the brain, and change in behaviors that can change thinking patterns to more helpful and hopeful thinking.

Come as you are. Let’s begin there.
Maybe life feels too loud. Maybe something shifted - slowly or suddenly - and now nothing seems to fit quite right. Or maybe you’ve been stuck in a loop for so long that even hope feels out of reach.
Here, we slow things down. Together, we make room for the truth of what hurts and the quiet pull of what matters. We’ll pay close attention to the story that brought you here - past, present, and everything in between - including how your relationships, patterns, and context shape what you carry. This work isn’t about rushing to fix you. It’s about returning to yourself, with care.

For those seeking deep, whole-system healing, I work with adults and couples who are ready to move beneath the surface of their struggles and create lasting change. Many of my clients have already done meaningful work, yet still sense that something essential has not fully shifted. Whether you feel blocked in relationships, disconnected from yourself, or discouraged that growth has only gone so far, there is often a deeper layer of healing ready to unfold. I blend attachment-based therapy with somatic meditation to help clients soften old patterns, build inner trust and security, and experience more authentic connection
