Sophia Baek

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Supervising Psychotherapist providing individual, couples, and family therapy to adolescents and adults. I have experience working with clients navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma, self-esteem and identity concerns, emotional regulation, and relationship difficulties. I especially enjoy working with clients who want to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that may be keeping them stuck. My goal is to create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself while exploring what may be difficult to understand on your own.

My approach is primarily psychodynamic and relational, which means we’ll look beyond what is happening on the surface and become curious about what may be underneath it. Together, we’ll explore how past experiences, relationships, and ways of coping may be shaping how you feel and relate to others today. My style is warm, curious, and collaborative, and I also integrate IFS, CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches based on what feels most helpful to you.

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. I’ll invite you to share what has been feeling difficult, what you hope to work on, and any important experiences or relationships that may help me better understand you. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly where to begin—we can make sense of things together. We’ll also talk about what you’re looking for in therapy and whether working together feels like a good fit.
