Treatment Approach

Sophie believes that all clients deserve to be heard, treated equally, and empowered to start their own process of change. She aims to provide a therapeutic environment that focuses on clients strengths to support positive change. In doing so, she utilizes therapeutic interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) models, and may incorporate play-based interventions as developmentally appropriate to each client.
