Great to meet you!

My name is Sophia Akyeampong and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I graduated from CBU with a Master of Science Degree in Counseling Psychology, focusing on Marriage and Family Therapy, and a Bachelor of Art Degree in Psychology from CSUSB. I have experience with various populations (adults, couples, adolescents, children) working in multiple mental health environments (classrooms, telehealth, foster care, outpatient, private practice), treating mood disorders, trauma, & other MH D/O

A bit about my approach to therapy

I take a holistic approach recognizing the whole person (mental, physical, spiritual, financial, social, career/school) affects a person overall wellbeing. Using a cognitive behavior framework, integrating mindfulness techniques, while recognizing the relational struggles people face, I understand the power of changing how a person thinks/view their world can have a positive impact on their health. As a EMDR trained therapist I treat complex trauma, PTSD, or other forms of mood disorders.

What you can expect from our first session

I think of therapy as a spa for the mind. I like my clients to feels a sense of peace and clarity. While gaining insight, inner strength, and hope, I want clients to recognize they can have power over their lives to be the best versions of themselves.
