Compassionate, Goal-Oriented Care for Trauma & Mental Health

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in trauma, PTSD, chronic pain, and treatment-resistant mental health conditions. With over 20 years of experience, I take a goal-oriented, intensive, and patient-directed approach to therapy, integrating EMDR, somatic therapy, and Trauma-Focused ACT (TFACT) to help clients reclaim their lives.

I have extensive experience working with veterans, law enforcement, and individuals navigating complex trauma, as well as those dealing with functional neurological disorders, chronic pain, and severe anxiety or depression. My practice offers structured treatment programs, including EMDR intensives, pain management programs, and immersive healing experiences tailored to your unique needs.

I believe in the deep connection between the mind and body and incorporate physical movement, self-defense principles, and mindfulness-based techniques into my work when beneficial. Whether you're seeking relief from trauma, chronic pain, or emotional distress, I provide a direct yet compassionate approach to help you heal and move forward.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward resilience and recovery.

As someone with OCD, I know what it's like to be stuck in your head all day. My own lifelong journey of healing energizes the work I do with my clients. I graduated from the University of Utah in 2020, and have since helped many people live better lives.

Therapy is a second career for me. I worked 25 years in journalism listening to stories as a reporter; often traumatic stories. When I learned that it is possible to find growth and healing after traumatic events, I chose to become a therapist to walk with individuals on their journey to finding peace and understanding.

I've worked with several victims of domestic violence, sexual violence and child abuse; and first responders, such as law enforcement, emergency medical personnel and search and rescue. I am unafraid of the hard stories; and can respect and find solutions for clients who cannot speak aloud the horrors they've experienced or seen.

I also love working with people who are ready to find their path to authenticity, joy and fulfilment.

Hello! My name is Sonia Trefflich. I’m a Bilingual Spanish-speaking Licensed Clinical Social Worker and an EMDR-trained therapist. My passion is working with others, especially those who feel damaged and stuck with their pain from past experiences. I have worked with individuals from many cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, and I have a deep understanding of the added challenges that upbringing and identity may present post or pre-trauma.

I am a seasoned therapist with over a decade of experience in child welfare, multisystemic therapy (MST), and crisis intervention for both children and adults. I offer person-centered and trauma-informed interventions that include strengths-focused and mindfulness-based practices. As a radical social and racial justice allied therapist, my approach is rooted in a decolonial mindset, ensuring therapy is free of spiritual bypassing and toxic positivity, focusing on genuine healing and empowerment.

As an LCSW, I’ve gained valuable experience working in diverse settings, from inpatient rehabilitation to ER crisis care. I’m deeply passionate about alternative therapies, including psychedelic preparation and integration, which I’ve found profoundly helpful in supporting clients through existential shifts, recovery, and deep identity work.

When I’m not in the therapy office, you’ll find me chasing after three lively boys alongside my high school sweetheart turned husband.
