Hi There! I'm Sophia Barbara - My philosophy is that we already have the answers within ourselves, we just need a guide to help us access it. I can be that guide for you.

Together we can work through Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, and overall life challenges to move towards a more fulfilling life. My approach is holistic, integrating mind, body, and spirit in ways that resonate with you. This may include counseling modalities such as: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), Somatic and Parts Work and other techniques we adapt to meet your unique needs.

Trauma has a way of possibly making us feel stuck, disconnected from ourselves and others, being in survival mode, on edge, etc. We can work together to explore the root causes of these feelings and move through them.

My passion for supporting others on their healing journeys grew during my studies. I earned my Bachelor's in Psychology from Concordia University of Wisconsin and my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marquette University.

Outside of therapy, you’ll often find me behind the lens of my camera, baking sourdough, experimenting with new recipes, or diving into arts & crafts (embroidery, DIY projects, and more!). I also enjoy gardening, soaking up the sun with my kitty, and traveling to the West Coast with my partner.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to connect. I offer a free 15-minute meeting to see if we’re a good fit. Reach out via email, and let's take that first step together.
