Founder of CARE Counseling

Sonya helps adults identify the experiences, beliefs, and emotional patterns that continue driving anxiety, stress, self-doubt, emotional reactivity, and feeling stuck. Her work is direct, compassionate, and focused on helping clients create meaningful change, not stay in therapy forever.

Root-Cause Focus

We don't stop at symptom management. We work to identify what is actually driving anxiety, stress, emotional reactivity, and feeling stuck.

Meaningful Change

Many clients come to us after years of insight, coping skills, or traditional therapy. Our goal is helping create lasting change.

Therapy With a Destination

The goal isn't to stay in therapy forever. The goal is to help you feel better and move forward with confidence and clarity.

Is This the Right Fit?

This approach may be right for you if...

  • You feel like you understand your problems, but still can't change them.
  • Certain memories or experiences still carry emotional weight.
  • You've tried coping skills, insight, or traditional therapy, but feel stuck.
  • You want more than weekly support and surface-level solutions.
  • You are ready to do the work and move forward in a meaningful way.
