Therapists in Brentwood, CA

Hey there! My name is Sophia Hutton, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Southern California. I have a diverse background and skillset within the field of mental health which I utilize to support teens and adults impacted by anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and day-to-day life stressors. My approach to therapy is collaborative and centered around the development of a positive therapeutic relationship in which the client feels safe to process, explore, admit, grieve, celebrate, and heal.

I specialize in working with adults who have experienced trauma, abuse, have ADHD, or are navigating life transitions and intense personal relationships. The majority of my clients have experienced a recent traumatic event, childhood trauma or abuse, sexual trauma, intense or abusive relationships, substance use, medical trauma, combat trauma, and life impacted by the military. I utilize EMDR among other evidence based and trauma informed therapy modalities. I prioritize a very client centered, and individualized approach to therapy. I love working with clients who want to go deep or dig into solution focused work.

I provide counseling services for all ages in individual, couples, and family therapy. I have extensive experience working with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, couples/marital issues, grief and loss, relationship issues, trauma, and addiction. I believe that the quality of the therapeutic relationship provides an opportunity to help you understand yourself and others better, which can lead to more satisfying relationships and fulfillment in life. In therapy, I work alongside you, at your pace providing a warm, nurturing, and safe space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported in your growth.

One of the most important lessons I have learned as a therapist is that therapy requires more than a one size fits all approach. I treat every person as an individual. I lean on my years of experience and use a multitude of treatment modalities to treat your individual needs. We can work together to help you achieve your therapeutic goals. I have treated individuals with a variety of issues, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, dissociative identity disorder, substance abuse disorders, anger, and more. I have also helped families and couples achieve harmony and improve their relationships and communication.

Generally, my history of working with clients at a deep level gives me insight into those things that are difficult for them to see. Since I work with groups, I am able to identify the patterns that are preventing growth and I’m also informed of the effects of family history and trauma

Something’s changed. That change can be any number of things - recent baby, newly out of or into middle school/high school, change in family dynamics, or others. But something has changed and it doesn’t feel right. You used to feel like you had it together - like you were writing your own story and happy with where it was going. But lately, it doesn’t feel that way. Lately, it feels like there’s an editor changing things in your story and it’s not working out! You feel lost, maybe depressed, anxious or angry, or maybe you’re not sure what you feel, just that something’s not right.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed and struggling to manage emotions? Have you or your family members experienced a traumatic event or stressful transition? Is your child experiencing difficulties at school; challenging behaviors? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, I may be able to help. I provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents and adults. My clinical orientation includes client centered, strength-based and integrative modalities.

In my practice, I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. I offer both short-term therapy and longer insight-oriented work. I utilize my years of experience, intuition, compassion, and humor to support my clients in addressing the issues that brought them into therapy. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, anger, abuse/trauma, parenting/divorce/blended family issues, foster care, as well as other social, emotional, and behavioral issues. Through my dynamic approach, I provide a safe and nurturing environment to explore and resolve various issues. I draw from the following theories and techniques: psychodynamic, client-centered, humanistic, play therapy, mindfulness, and somatic psychology.

I will help you learn to appreciate your emotional identity through managing moods, thoughts, impulsiveness, reactivity, and harmful behaviors. I will help you strengthen or repair your relationships and build new ones. I'll help you cultivate confidence to ask for what you want, set boundaries with others, and navigate family issues. I can also teach you social skills if you feel out of place at work or school.

Therapy can be intimidating as it's one of the more intimate activities you will engage in. Of course, how could it not be; you walk into a room with a stranger, expecting to discuss in detail your inner thoughts, emotions, & current stressors. For therapy to work it's important you feel safe, welcomed & confident in your therapist. I can be that therapist for you. I will provide you & your family a warm, nurturing environment where you can begin to address your needs without fear of judgement or ridicule as we begin your journey toward healing.

Are you concerned about your child's behavior? Are you struggling to understand what is happening for your child? Are you finding parenting overwhelming? I have experience working with children, adolescents and parents on many issues including loss, attachment, anxiety, anger, impulsivity, and low self-esteem. I also work with complex families dealing with family conflict. Parents are essential to children’s wellbeing and need support to find new ways of understanding and responding to their children. Therapy provides a safe protected space that nurtures exploration, reflection, growth and change.

I look forward to helping you. I work to create a safe, empathic environment where we can explore your concerns at a pace that feels comfortable to you. Life is challenging, but therapy provides a place of comfort to look at life's stressors as well as what scares, saddens, or angers us. I work to help clients build a deeper and more compassionate understanding of themselves in order to identify their strengths, develop new coping skills, build more meaningful relationships and live a more fulfilling life.

Whether you are looking for Individual, Couple, Family or Grioup Psychotherapy, today you are one step closer to a new you. The path of personal growth is exhilarating and empowering. Regardless of the modality I use, I am solution focused and my goal is to help you discover and uncover your highest potential. While we can’t change difficult situations in the past, we can work together to transform them into powerful assets for the present and future. By applying complementary psychotherapy approaches and teniques, I will help you unearth and extinguish longstanding behavioral patterns and negative perceptions. As the result of our work together you will experience a complete transformation of mind, body and spirit. you will be walking in a totally new direction.

Would you like to deal with life's stresses effectively? Are you struggling with uncomfortable feelings such as sadness, anger, fear, worry, anxiety, jealousy, guilt? Would you like to improve family relationships, raise healthy, happy and confident children even in challenging situations? Do you need marital/ premarital counseling? Do you want to improve self-esteem & achieve personal growth? With my deep understanding of emotions and compassionate approach, I will create a safe place to explore your emotions and identify which ones you can rely on as a guide to your needs and which ones are no longer helpful & need to be changed.
