Sophia Sammy

Registered Psychotherapist

“An experienced psychotherapist working with adults to assist in healing from trauma and developing healthy coping mechanisms. A strong commitment to creating a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and actions.”

About me

This experienced psychotherapist works with adults, guiding them through healing from trauma. A truly safe, non-judgmental space is offered for clients to openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and actions. Through this collaborative process, individuals develop healthy, practical coping mechanisms. This approach is well-suited for anyone seeking to process challenging experiences and build lasting emotional resilience.

Approach

I ask curious questions and set a steady, practical rhythm in sessions—naming patterns, trying small experiments and checking what shifts. Whether you meet with me in Milton or virtually, sessions move at your pace with clear check-ins and occasional brief assessments to guide focus. Therapy blends reflective listening with skills practice and linking past experiences to present reactions, with short between-session tasks when helpful. This approach tends to suit adolescents and adults seeking collaborative, skill-focused change.
