What you can expect from working with Sophie: honesty, professionalism, curiosity about you and your process, compassion, experience, non-judgment, and truth spoken with kindness.
Your integrative therapy plan is designed to support your mental wellness goals with dynamic modalities like Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Storytelling, Psychodynamic, Play Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Art Therapy, Eco-Psychotherapy, Cinema Therapy, Music Therapy, and Equine Psychotherapy. You'll also receive psychoeducation to strengthen your mental health goals.
You are the expert of your life and you know what works best for you. Sophie's collaborative approach includes a posture of caring curiosity to understand how you process your world, and to learn what matters to you most (your values, goals, relationships). Sophie's ethos is to hold a compassionate space for truth to be spoken with honesty and without judgment.
Simply speaking holistic means body/mind/spirit/soul health. During your initial assessment with Sophie you'll review your biopsychosocialspiritual well-being. Mental and emotional struggles can arise for many reasons and often when one area of your life is imbalanced can impact other areas of your life, including relationships.
Integrative means unify. Sophie unifies different modalities to design a unique plan that'll work best for you. What will work best for you is revealed during your biopsychosocialspiritual assessment. For example, your plan may include combining the different modalities including creative arts expression, games, narrative, and psychodynamic therapies (*Note: see "Modalities" section to learn more about the modalities Sophie uses in therapy sessions).
*With your written consent Sophie may collaborate with your other healthcare providers to ensure that your psychotherapy plan complements your other health treatments.

Cancellation Policy
Sophie understands that "life happens" and has a Cancellation Policy for those times. Because psychotherapy requires regularly scheduled appointments for best results the time reserved for you means someone else is unable to receive mental health support at that time. Thus, Weekly clients are allowed 3 free cancellations every 6 months, and bi-weekly clients are allowed 2 free cancellations every 6 months, beginning from the date of your first session. After this, you will be responsible for payment for your normally scheduled session time for all cancelled appointments, regardless of whether you attend or not.
You may always choose to reschedule and/or take sessions virtually to accommodate occasional scheduling conflicts as often as needed within 24hrs. Rescheduled sessions are subject to availability.

I return text messages between the hours of 12pm-6pm (excluding weekends). Please note, if you text me, please do not assume I have received it and text me again or give me a call if you have not heard back from me within 72hrs.
