testimonial for internal family systems therapy  IFS therapy

I achieved my major goals, turned my dreams into a reality, became a leader in my field, and, to my surprise, felt nothing inside. No joy, no passion—just collapse. I was overwhelmed by my depression and anxiety that seemingly came out of nowhere. Since my life looked perfect on the outside, I completely isolated myself. Sofia helped me see, love, and heal the parts of my self that were frozen and stuck in the past. I was able to recover from complex trauma and stop living like a “robot on a hamster wheel.” I now experience more joy, freedom, and aliveness than I ever imagined possible.

testimonial for complex trauma recovery

Before I found Sofia, I was looking for an IFS therapist to help me deal with my inner critic and feelings of never being good enough no matter what I achieved. I was scared I would be stuck feeling unfulfilled and at war with myself for all of eternity. Sofia helped me get to the root cause of my wounds. She guided me to not only heal my trauma but also create a sacred home inside myself. I can now connect to myself and others with a deep sense of love, belonging, and calm. I feel confident (and relieved!) I can reparent my inner child(ren) with self-compassion and live authentically as my best Self.

testimonial 3 release trauma stored in the body

I started trauma therapy to heal my mind-body connection and improve my health issues. I struggled with an autoimmune condition, migraines, brain fog, and chronic fatigue. A part of me knew I was pushing my body beyond its limits while juggling responsibilities requiring me to show up as my best self and think on my feet. Working with Sofia, I discovered I spent most of my life dissociating, intellectualizing, and living from the neck up as a way to protect myself. Being present was too painful due to my trauma history. Sofia helped me recover from trauma, heal my mind-body connection, and live in the moment with more mindfulness and self-compassion. I saw an amazing improvement in my physical symptoms as a result.
