Sophie Maddox

Hi! I'm Sophie. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience working in mental health. I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma and abuse, relationship issues, life transitions, and those seasons where life just feels overwhelming or stuck. I really enjoy helping people better understand themselves, make sense of what they’re experiencing, and create changes that actually feel meaningful in their everyday lives. Most importantly, I want therapy to be a place where you can show up as yourself without feeling judged or like you need to have everything figured out.

My approach is warm, genuine, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I’m supportive, but I’ll also be direct when it’s helpful—I don’t believe therapy has to feel overly clinical or formal to be effective. I use a trauma-informed approach and pull from DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR principles to help you understand not only what you’re experiencing, but why. We’ll notice patterns, build practical skills, and figure out what actually works for you and your life.

Our first session is really about getting to know you as a whole person. We’ll talk about what what’s been going on, what matters to you, and what you’d like to get out of therapy. You don’t need to know exactly where to start or have everything figured out—we can figure that out together. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, comfortable, and like you have a better idea of where we can go from here. With the right skills and support, you can heal and learn to live a happier life.
