Soffia Jónsdóttir

Hi there, I'm Soffia!

I work with individuals seeking relief from emotional and psychological pain. I provide guidance, tools, and support to help you reach your health and growth goals. It would be a privilege to be entrusted to do this work together with you.

My focus

I work with adults and elders navigating emotional pain, strengthening coping skills, working through conflict and fears, and understanding difficult feelings.

My approach

I draw from CBT, DBT, somatic and trauma work in a context of kindness and curiosity. These approaches help strengthen coping skills, work through conflict and fears, and discover what your difficult feelings are asking of you.

My communication style

I create a therapeutic environment where you feel emotionally safe and accepted. Therapy often requires allowing yourself to be seen, and being vulnerable requires that you trust me with your process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up in an increasingly dysfunctional family system, and my struggle to make sense of the chaos sent me on a quest to discover a way through emotional pain. I have become skilled at hearing what unmet needs your symptoms are trying to express and working with you to better address them.

My goals for you

Goal-making and action plans are based on discussion between us about what changes you want to make.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I will ask you questions, but this is a space for you to talk about your concerns. My job is to be fully present and listen.
