Support for trauma survivors, people-pleasers, and highly sensitive people
Trauma & attachment focused therapy for couples and individuals
I offer trauma therapy that helps you feel more empowered and able to show up in your life the way you want to.
You’re tired of feeling anxious and overwhelmed even when things are going well. You’re frustrated with yourself because you really want something to change, but you keep ending up in the same place wondering how you got there yet again.
Right now, you find yourself:
Often feeling overwhelmed, like you can’t take a breath
Having intrusive memories, body sensations, or nightmares
Constant anxiety, which you deal with by staying busy all the time
Wanting more from your relationships, feeling like your needs aren’t met but you don’t know how to communicate what’s happening
Feeling like you’re not yourself, unable to focus, numb
You’ve tried so many things to cope and some of them do help… but it feels like you’re just able to go about your daily life without really living it. You know that you need something more, even if you sometimes question whether or not what you experienced “counts” as trauma. There is a part of you that knows it’s time to face it so you can finally put this burden down.
meet Sophia boissevain, LMFT
Welcome! I’m Sophia.
I believe in beginning therapy from a place of acceptance and compassion. Wherever you are in your life, in your process, is just fine and you don’t have to be someone or somewhere else to begin healing. I’ll meet you where you are and together we’ll find a path forward.
Many of my clients have childhood trauma in their histories. This manifests in anxiety, depression, and/or distressing feelings that feel intrusive and out of proportion to what’s happening. Trauma isn’t what happened- it's the legacy left behind by what happened that continues to live in the body, sometimes without conscious memory. What’s important is that there is always a part of you, a core self, that is untouched by what happened. Together we can help you reconnect to that self, bringing it forward and allowing the wounded parts to step back.
