In my practice, I work with adults, young adults and adolescents with a broad range of challenges. My approach is relational, practical and conversational as I help clients explore relationship issues and everyday stressors in family life, work, and school.

You feel alone, isolated, scared, or hopeless. Do you sometimes think that you are not good enough? Are you struggling with disordered eating, body image concerns, or anxiety? You are not alone and therapy can provide a safe space for you to feel connected and understood. Therapy can give you the tools to understand these emotions and make positive changes in your life. Dr. Hansen will work collaboratively with you in a supportive environment to help you reach your goals.

Do your ruminating thoughts, memories, pain, confusion, and anxieties seem to be stuck? Facing these things may not be easy work, but it is worth doing, and you don't have to do it alone. I specialize in bringing healing into complex trauma, disordered eating, and chronic illness/pain, and I see individuals and couples/families. It's my goal for therapy to be a place to find hope and make the real shifts you need and want in your life right now. We can create that healing space together.

Are you struggling with sexual identity issues, or just regular day-to-day concerns that you would like to talk with an open-minded and GLBT-friendly therapist about? Are you having trouble with anxiety, depression, career concerns, or addiction recovery? All of the issues above - and more - can often be addressed through counseling. I believe that the perception and function of counseling has evolved rapidly in recent years. More and more people are finding counseling beneficial for not only solving specific problems or dealing with crises, but also for developing more fulfilling and enriching lives.

Whether you are pregnant, new to Motherhood, a seasoned parent, or struggling with body image - you may be experiencing feelings of loneliness, anxiety, fear, identity crisis, or trauma. You may feel as though you’ve lost control, as both your body and seemingly your whole life have changed. Are you told to “enjoy every minute” or “bounce back after birth”? These unwelcomed pressures can also add to our feelings of guilt and shame. I am here to support you. Know you are not alone. Together, we will use mindfulness practices, imagery, and therapeutic strategies to help you be present, release self-doubt, and cultivate confidence.

You want change, but don't know where to start! Are you stuck and just don't feel like yourself? As a High-Performing Professional Woman navigating life transitions in your career, relationships, dealing with a toxic workplace, or struggling with work-life balance, you may be feeling overwhelmed. It’s time to learn new ways to cope with life's challenges and to prioritize self-care. Everyone sees you as a successful women with degrees, money, and friends, but you feel discontent and lonely. Stop holding back and waiting for change to just happen! It’s time to do something different. It’s time to be the best version of you!

Happily ever after’ doesn’t always happen easily. Acknowledging that happiness is a journey, not just a destination, I am dedicated to helping you create transformational changes that can last a lifetime. Guided by an endearing spirit and a genuine desire to see you succeed both within and outside the walls of therapy, it is my priority to offer a safe space to process authentic emotions and embark on a path toward self-awareness and healing.

Life is stressful, especially with all the challenges of the world today. It's no wonder that many of us feel like we're barely keeping it together. Stress takes a toll on our bodies and our minds, and it may show up in the form of anxiety, sleep problems, controlling behavior, trouble managing personal relationships, and posttraumatic stress. Such a complex problem can feel impossible to resolve. This is why I apply a variety of interventions to support your healing. This may involve changing your thoughts and behaviors (CBT), learning how to be more present (mindfulness), and/or establishing safety (trauma-informed).

Do intense emotions come out of nowhere and hit you like a ton of bricks? Do you have trouble identifying and understanding what you're feeling? Do you speak or act without thinking? Do you avoid doing things because you're afraid they won't work out? Are you scared that other people might judge you as harshly as you judge yourself? Maybe it feels like no one understands you, or you can't find the type of relationships you want, or you have trouble communicating clearly – maybe all of the above. You wonder whether things are ever going to change. You’re overwhelmed, you're struggling to manage it all, and you're stuck.

Hello! I’m Sophia and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I obtained my Master’s in Social Work from Boston University with a specialization is Groupwork.

Have you thought about reaching out for help before? Well, any time you decide to reach out is a good time.

If a person experiences physical pain, seeking treatment is expected. To me, it is important to do the same when one experiences emotional and/or mental pain. Whether it be lack of balance, understanding a past/recent traumatic event, or navigating difficult relationships, life can leave us feeling off balance and disconnected from people and things that mean the most to us. Being able to help people heal from emotional pain, restore connections, and find joy in their lives is my greatest passion.

I know the process of selecting a therapist can be a daunting one, and I commend you on taking a first step toward changing your life. I am a clinical social worker with over fifteen years of experience helping people overcome traumatic experiences, improve their relationships and change their lives for the better. I am trained to help people navigate stressful situations when their emotions, memories or previous experiences block them. Sometimes we don't even know what is bothering us or what we want to change, we just know that our life isn’t how we wish it.

I am a counselor specializing in working with the LGBT community. Are you living in the present moment or always worried about the future or dwelling in the past? Are you a harsh self critic?

Accepting oneself for who one is...in this present moment, is they key to emotional balance and a fulfilling life.
