Sofia Cardenas, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sofia!

I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space where you can work towards healing, growth, and self-discovery. I specialize in helping clients navigate life's challenges with compassion and expertise.

My focus

I primarily work with adult clients who are navigating challenges related to anxiety and depression.

My approach

My therapeutic style incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to meet you where you are and empower you to rewrite your story. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions, I tailor my approach to your unique needs and goals.

My communication style

My communication style is rooted in empathy and compassion. I prioritize active listening, clear and open dialogue, and providing feedback in a nonjudgmental manner.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up in a low-income community, and I witnessed many families navigating life without access to resources or support. Those experiences inspired my passion for giving back to my community. I have dedicated my career to providing compassionate care, helping others navigate life's challenges, and fostering growth.

My goals for you

Meeting clients where they are by understanding their unique experiences and priorities. Asking open-ended questions to inquire what they would like to see differently in their life.

Our first session

The first session will be spent building rapport, establishing trust, and helping you feel comfortable opening up. I will ask exploratory questions to better understand and get to know your unique cultural background and personal strengths.
