Sondra Stowe, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sondra!

I've worked with people of all ages, from 5 to adults, helping them navigate a range of mental health issues and life challenges.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, families, and minors ages 13-17. My specialties include depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, self-harming, personality disorders, parenting, sexual abuse, stress, trauma and PTSD, grief, and chronic pain.

My approach

My approach to counseling is eclectic; I might use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mind-Body techniques, Solution-Focused Therapy, or Talk Therapy, depending on my client's needs at the moment. As a certified yoga teacher, I sometimes incorporate breathwork and meditation techniques in my work.

My communication style

I aim to create a safe, supportive space where we can openly discuss your concerns and work together to find effective solutions tailored to your unique needs and goals. My communication style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to mental healthcare began with a desire to help others navigate life's challenges. I've worked in various settings, including a mental health center, a school, and with homeless populations. With multiple Master's degrees and a background in the performing arts, I bring a diverse perspective to my work.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you with the tools, insights, and support you need to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and lead a more fulfilling life. Whether you're struggling with mental health issues, navigating a difficult transition, or seeking personal growth, I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll take time to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I'll listen carefully to understand your unique story, challenges, and aspirations. Together, we'll begin to develop a personalized treatment plan aligned with your goals.
