About Sophia 

Sophia Sutherlun, LMSW Associate
Hi, I'm Sophia Sutherlun, LMSW Associate.

​You may be finding yourself at a juncture
- something has happened and you are learning how to cope, you are ready to begin processing pain you've kept inside for a long time, or you just know you need a change. You might feel exhausted by the need to be perfect all the time, but don't know how to live any differently. You might feel stuck in a box where you are disconnected from yourself. I can help you reconnect to the strength and goodness inside of you, and discover ways to live in freedom from your suffering.
​I offer an empathetic space to work through anxiety, depression, and trauma - including spiritual and religious trauma. I can help you set boundaries to protect you from burnout in your relationships and in your professional life, and to pay attention to and take care of the emotions you are feeling. I have experience working with self-esteem issues, anger, relationship difficulties, childhood trauma, sexual violence, codependency, and stress from work and school.
No one person is the same as any other, and there isn’t one type of therapy that works for everyone. Our early sessions will consist of working together until we find what feels and works best for you. We will try self-compassion and mindfulness exercises, internal family systems or “parts” work, cognitive behavioral exercises, or solutions-focused brief therapy. I am trained to offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence based therapy for working through traumatic memories.
I operate from a human strengths’ perspective centered viewpoint, believing that everyone has the strength and wisdom within themselves they need to get better, and that my job is to help you access those strengths. No one deserves to be alone in their suffering, and we all at times need help to find a way out of a dark season. I want you to know that no matter how your story has unfolded until today, you have the ability to write beauty, joy, freedom and peace into it. It would be my honor to work with you! ​
