Sora Choi, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sora!

I offer individual psychotherapy to adults dealing with depression, stress, anxiety, shame, trauma, and relationship conflicts.

My focus

I specialize in offering individual therapy services to adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, stress, shame, low self-esteem, and trauma.

My approach

My approach to counseling is rooted in the belief that a positive outlook on life is not only possible but also within reach for every client. I use various methods customized to each client's needs, but Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are the most frequently utilized.

My communication style

My communication style is calm and personable. I focus on fostering a warm and safe environment, which is essential for ensuring that my clients feel at ease sharing their stories during the sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for being a therapist stems from the connection I build with my clients. It is a true honor to listen to their life stories and witness their remarkable journeys of growth and transformation.

My goals for you

I believe developing a treatment goal is a collaborative process. My clients take an active role in creating realistic and attainable goals.

Our first session

I understand that the initial session can be anxiety-inducing, so I focus on establishing rapport and trust to ensure that clients feel at ease. We may discuss the client's recent emotions and issues that led them to seek therapy, but I encourage the client to share whatever is important to them.
