I’ve incredibly enjoyed having Sonya as a mental health coach. She created a safe space for me to feel comfortable retiring to after leaving for a period of time. I’ve learned plenty of useful tools from her and I’m always excited to see her again!

Sonya is incredible. She has helped me break through barriers I never thought I could. I'm so thankful for her!

I've only had a couple of sessions with Sonya so far, but I'm already feeling a difference in how I respond to the things I've discussed with her. She's so easy to talk to, very patient, and exactly the kind of therapist you hope you'll be matched with. I would strongly recommend her to anyone.

Sonya amazing therapist and I have gained a lot from my sessions, more than I can remember gaining in other precious therapy. Which is saying a lot considering the amount of therapy I've been in throughout my life.

Sonya is a really great therapist! She remembers all the important details and always remembers to follow up with the things I’ve mentioned. She gives me great advice and prompts/homework to work on in between sessions which I appreciate. 12/10!
