Trauma and Relationship Therapy in Brooklyn, NY that Honors Your Story
All your life you've had to be strong.
Often being "strong" meant staying quiet even when someone was hurting you. Or taking care of everyone else's needs while yours go unmet. Now all you want is to feel safe and loved, but you keep finding yourself in relationships that hurt in the same familiar way.
You feel constantly on edge, wondering if the people you love will leave or reject you. You want to rely on others for support, but it's so hard to trust that they'll be there for you. Your relationships often bring up intense emotions that feel confusing and hard to manage. You're tired of struggling to connect. Tired of having to be "strong."
Imagine soothing the old hurts that are keeping you stuck in these painful cycles. Imagine feeling free to connect and love without reservation or fear.
Trauma and relationship therapy offers a space where you can finally heal, forge healthy, genuine connections, and learn to trust yourself and others again.
You Could Benefit from Trauma and Relationship Therapy If...
-
You've lived through experiences where you felt unsafe, unprotected, or unloved. You sense that these experiences are continuing to affect you, but you don't know exactly how, or how to move on from them.
-
You don't feel safe being fully you. You want to let go, to relax and be yourself with the people in your life, but you're afraid that others won't accept you if you let your guard down.
-
You carry negative beliefs and thoughts about yourself. You'd never talk to someone you love the way you talk to yourself. But that inner voice is so familiar by now that it feels impossible to challenge.
-
You feel things really deeply. Your emotions can feel big and overwhelming. You fear you're just "too sensitive" when the truth is that you've been through a lot and your system is expressing its need for care.
-
You've been told you're "too much"... or "not enough." The messages you've received about how you are with others make you want to isolate, or to overextend yourself. You often feel alone, even when surrounded by people.
-
You notice patterns that repeat themselves in your life and in your relationships. You keep finding yourself in the same kinds of situations, having the same kinds of reactions. You want to stop the repetition and turn the page on a fresh chapter.

Trauma and Relationship Therapist in Brooklyn, NY

Hello! I'm Sophie, a trauma and relationship therapist and New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker (that's what the letters stand for). I specialize in supporting people as they work through the impacts of trauma and relationship difficulties. I've received post-graduate training in trauma studies, as well as training in EMDR, IFS, somatic therapy, DBT, and EFT for couples.
I'm passionate about helping my clients release old burdens, build gratifying relationships, and show up in their lives with greater ease and authenticity.
I believe that all of us have inherent inner wisdom and capacity to heal. In our work, we'll focus on connecting you with your inner healing force, while also arming you with tangible tools to help manage what's most challenging you outside the therapy room.
If you are struggling with wounds from the past and dissatisfying relationships in the present, you are not alone. Support is out there and healing is possible.

What are the next steps?
1.) Book a free consultation call
I offer free 15 minute consultation calls to all prospective clients. These calls provide an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about my practice or the therapy process. It also gives us a chance to begin getting to know one another and ensure that it feels like a good match. To book a free consultation call with me click here!
2.) Schedule your first session
During our consultation call we'll discuss scheduling and find a weekly day and time to meet. I typically recommend weekly sessions, as they better allow you to get the most out of therapy and make your desired progress towards your goals. Once we schedule a session, I will email you some intake forms to fill out and provide you with either a Zoom link (if meeting virtually) or directions to my office in Brooklyn, NY (if meeting in person).
3.) Start your therapy journey
In the first sessions we'll gather info about your history, and solidify goals for therapy. I'll also share information to help you understand what you've been struggling with and how we can alleviate those struggles. I aim for therapy to feel like a collaboration, so I'll leave room for you to ask questions and share thoughts or feelings. One way to think of these early sessions is as time for us to create your healing map. The ground we cover in the beginning will serve as the blueprint for the rest of your therapy journey.
