HEALING AND TRANSFORMATION.... Is an inside job. My treatment philosophy is based on the idea that each client is unique: with unique strengths,experiences and challenges. Each of us has within us what we need to become whole and free. It is the therapist's job to help each client recognize their own magnificence.We work together to identify strategies, tools,and insights to create the freedom and outcomes each client desires.

I am a licensed professional counselor who has provided counseling services for the past 12 years. I am highly trained and have extensive experience working with children and adolescents and the specific developmental and behavioral issues that emerge in children because of mental health issues and trauma. I believe in the power of the counseling relationship and I have seen through my client's experiences the hope that healing and change brings into their lives.

My goal is to listen to you, and to help empower you as we walk together on your healing path. There are no "one-size-fits-all approaches" therefore, I will use a variety of approaches including EMDR to help you to meet your goals. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment in which my clients can develop self-awareness, achieve greater insight, reduce depression, stress, anxiety, find purpose and meaning, reach life goals, improve relationships, and live a fully integrated life. I strive to provide a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space for all clients to explore thoughts and feelings.

As a professional ally, if you choose to work with me, you can entrust your process of change to my knowledge, experience and cohesive approach to counseling. Change isn't easy but with different information, a plan, daily practice and patience (lots of that), it is possible. It is exciting when change is more comfortable than an old pattern.

Hi, I'm Sofia, and I love helping kids, families, and couples reconnect with each other and find the joy in spending time together! I am a Licensed Master Social Worker and have worked with families in the valley for over 18 years. During this time, I've had the opportunity to watch many different family dynamics. When someone asks what makes the difference between "surviving" families and "thriving" families, I say it's the quality of those fundamental relationships. My goal is to help you and your family develop the understanding and habits that allow you to strengthen and foster healthy relationships.

I use a strengths-based and cognitive behavioral approach when providing counseling services to the individuals and families that I serve. I am trained in EMDR therapy which can be used to treat a multitude of presenting issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and phobias.

Sometimes despite our best intentions we find ourselves consumed by unhealthy thoughts or engaged in relationships that are not supportive to our exploration, identification and realization of our best selves.

The goal of Best Self LLC is to create a safe space for you to acknowledge your strengths and reinforce your resilience while you define and witness your success and grow.

Often people seek a counselor when things are at their most confusing, when well being is at a low point, likely triggered by significant external events and things feel out of control.

As we continue to work together with your process, you will gain greater insight and be better equipped at navigating challenges.
