About Me

Hi, I'm Sousana Ekladious. I am here to offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space, to listen attentively to your story and help you make sense of your thoughts, emotions and behaviors. This is a space where you don’t have to perform or explain yourself. I work with teens and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression and difficulties adjusting to new environments and life transitions. I have extensive experience supporting clients who are living across cultures and who might be navigating questions of identity, intergenerational pressure, and cultural expectations. I help clients explore why they engage in their current behavioral and emotional patterns, uncovering the roots of recurring struggles. Combined with CBT, trauma-informed approaches, EMDR therapy, and culturally responsive care, therapy supports you in processing past experiences, managing anxiety and stress, and feeling seen, understood, and grounded.
