Parenting Therapists in Glendale, AZ

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 enjoy working with couples and families as I feel that this is where I can be most impactful and the most change can be made. I also see individuals to help them develop a greater sense of happiness in their lives or to aid them in managing symptoms related to depression, anxiety or daily life stressors. I also enjoy working with parents to help foster parenting skills and help parents manage behavioral concerns and effectively co- parent their children.

Are you tired of surviving and ready to start living again? I have worked with many teens and adults who come in with their head barely above water trying to survive day to day.

Hello and welcome to the beginning of your journey to better self-awareness, growth, and understanding! I help clients learn skills to shift their thinking and find more enjoyment in life. My approach to counseling is straightforward, realistic, and supportive, with a touch of humor, in a nonjudgmental environment. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) to address underlying trauma and triggers that prevent a person from reaching their potential.

I specialize in Marriage & Family Therapy and working with individuals, couples, & families to develop healthy communication strategies, address attachment & relational issues (i.e., infidelity, trust, trauma therapy, parenting , boundaries, separation/divorce), & decrease feelings of anxiety, depression, burnout, and distress. I utilize a systems perspective, which highlights processing our patterned experiences throughout our lives (relationships, anxiety, self-worth…), as well as have a variety of training within trauma modalities (i.e., EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, PIT training/Meadows-Trained).

Trauma can leave us feeling lost, anxious, and disconnected from our true selves and from others. Being a new parent can sometimes trigger these feelings. You may be fed up with feeling down, low motivation or low self-esteem - you might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. Now, you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to make some changes so you can feel better, more empowered. You’re ready to let the past stop affecting the present. It does not have to continue the old way, there is hope. If any of this sounds familiar, reach out for a free consultation and let's see if we're a good fit!

As a Licensed Professional Counselor in practice for many years, I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families, utilizing a Cognitive Behavioral approach. I understand the challenges many people encounter with anxiety, depression,addictions, grief, family issues, parenting , and marital problems, often times becoming overwhelmed by the intensity of these problematic situations. I support you in taking an often difficult but most important step in seeking assistance in changing these difficult situations! Call to set up your initial visit and take that first step!

Throughout our life journey we are met with numerous personal, family, and relationship challenges. Finding someone in whom we can trust during our most vulnerable life struggles can be particularly challenging. When we become overwhelmed by adversity we can begin to feel discouraged, alone, and hopeless. Often by the time we reach out for professional help we may have reached a point of despair. Sometimes negative choices we have made, or the abusive behavior of others, has placed us at risk for harm. In our most challenging moments we want someone who is there to listen from a place of compassion and non-judgment.
