Sonia Torres

Hi, I'm Sonia. Thanks for taking this step toward better health! I have worked in this field for over 20 years, having a Bachelors degree in psychology and a Masters in Mental Health Counseling. Many of the individuals I work with want to show up more fully in their lives but don't always know where to begin. They often describe feeling misunderstood, disconnected, exhausted by various expectations, or uncertain about their direction. Many carry intersecting cultural, familial, and lived experiences that shape how they move through the world - and they're looking for a therapist who sees and honors that.

I draw mostly from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to aid in understanding the patterns that keep us feeling stuck, build motivation for meaningful change, and learn practical skills to manage difficult thoughts and emotions. Together we identify what matters to you and work toward improvement.

I help clients with various issues to include depression, anxiety, and addiction by building psychological flexibility, strengthening coping skills, and supporting their own motivation for change. Treatment often includes mindful awareness, values guided action, CBT strategies to reshape unhelpful thoughts, and MI to explore and reinforce what truly matters to you.
