Sonia Estrada, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sonia!

I'm a bilingual therapist who works with children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. I bring both professional training and life experiences to help you navigate challenges and find healing.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with trauma, abuse, attachment difficulties, domestic violence, PTSD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, relationship problems, family conflicts, and parent-child conflict.

My approach

I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My goal is to help you improve functionality in relationships, social life, and work. I use trauma-focused CBT, EMDR, solution-focused, and strength-based techniques tailored to your needs.

My communication style

I focus on building a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust and understanding. I create a safe space where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into mental healthcare has been driven by a deep desire to help others navigate life's challenges and achieve personal growth. I'm committed to providing compassionate care tailored to your unique needs.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you develop effective coping skills, gain self-awareness, and build resilience. Together, we'll work towards overcoming obstacles, healing from past traumas, and achieving greater well-being and life satisfaction.

Our first session

We'll take time to get to know each other and establish a strong therapeutic alliance. I'll listen attentively to your concerns and collaborate with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. You can expect a warm, non-judgmental environment where you feel supported and empowered.
