Sonja Taghavi

My communication style

I take a warm but direct approach with my clients. Sometimes, I'll say things you may not want to hear...but need to hear. This is always done with a kind approach and intended to challenge you appropriately, so you can make some good changes and progress.

My journey to mental healthcare

My early training included working with at-risk youth and their families. I have also worked at a local psychiatric hospital with individuals struggling with more severe mental health issues.

My goals for you

I believe in creating a trusting and non-judgmental space for my clients, so we can work together to accomplish their goals. I understand that each client likes to work at different speeds, and that's perfectly fine, as long as we are making steps towards your goals and a happier life, you're doing good.

Our first session

Our first session will be spent getting to know each other and making sure we're a good fit. I want you to feel comfortable with me, as well as make sure I can meet your needs and help you reach your therapy goals. It's completely normal for the first session to feel a bit uncomfortable or robotic, but with time, that will improve.
