Are you struggling with overwhelming anxiety, negative self-talk, depression, or the stresses of life? Perhaps you're facing major life transitions, unresolved grief, or relationship issues. If any of this resonates, I'm here to help. Hi, I'm Sophia Hilsen, a devoted and compassionate therapist committed to supporting you in creating the life you want. I work with clients of all ages, including children 6 and older, teens, adults, and couples, who are motivated to better understand themselves and their relationships. My goal is to provide a safe space where we can build your confidence to help you take ownership in your life.
I approach therapy through a lens of Relational Cultural Theory, fostering empathy, connection, growth, and mutuality in our relationship. By integrating multiple modalities, I use tools from CBT, Narrative Therapy, and ACT. These approaches help you identify negative thought patterns, embrace your feelings, and commit to actions that align with your values.
Taking the first step to seek therapy is courageous, and I'm here to walk alongside you on this journey. It is an honor to be welcomed into the inner world of my clients. Together, we will create a path of hope, peace, and resilience toward the life you want to live.
