Sophia Bicos

I'm a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in private practice in the Los Angeles area.

I received my Master’s Degree in Marital and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College in Pasadena, California, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Theatre Arts from the University of Southern California. I'm committed to expanding my knowledge and training, which has included workshops and trainings on treating trauma in children, adults, and older populations, as well as trainings on attachment, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ADHD, and working with couples.

I've worked with clients in recovery from chemical addiction, people dealing with chronic mental illness such as schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder, and couples and individuals working through issues of infertility, adoption, family building and life transitions.

Regardless of the age of my client, whether I'm working with a 25 year old struggling with career options, or married couples facing the challenge of dealing with infertility, or an individual in her 70s facing the difficult transitions that come with aging, my approach always begins from a humanistic core, filled with respect, compassion and consideration. In this search for a meaningful, integrated life, I work to help my clients make their own decisions, find their own happiness, and deepen their own relationships with health and vitality. It's your process. You may be struggling to find your way back to a life you once enjoyed, or you may be seeking a path of discovery for a life you want to live. I want to help.

I've worked with clients dealing with general life difficulties, depression and anxiety, adults with ADHD, clients in recovery from substance abuse, couples and individuals working through issues of infertility, adoption and family building, and couples struggling with unhealthy patterns. I have experience working with elderly individuals who may be struggling with life transitions, or their family members coming to terms with their loved one's illness.

My intention is to help my clients achieve healthy, meaningful relationships with themselves and others in their lives. I take the time to gain your trust and be an ally as you confront the challenges life presents. Empathy and compassion are critical in this collaboration. I offer support as you make sense of your life experiences and unique life stories.
