Getting to know Dr. Sofya Yedigarian

Hello! I am a psychologist who works with adults navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, identity development, anxiety, and everyday stressors. I especially enjoy working with people who are curious about themselves and motivated to better understand the patterns that shape their relationships, emotions, and choices. Whether you're adjusting to a change, feeling stuck in a relationship or recurring pattern, or simply wanting to feel more fulfilled in your day-to-day life, therapy with me can offer a space to slow down, reflect, and better understand yourself and your experiences. Together, we work to deepen self-understanding, build self-compassion, and explore new ways of relating to yourself and others. I am especially attuned to the complexities of intersecting identities and how they shape each person's experience. I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and those navigating identity-related concerns. I also have a particular commitment to working with clients from Middle Eastern/SWANA backgrounds, honoring the cultural nuances that influence their experiences. I earned my Master of Science in Education in Mental Health Counseling and my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Fordham University. My training has included college counseling, outpatient therapy, community mental health, and hospital settings. These experiences have shaped my approach to understanding each person in the context of their relationships, identities, and broader life experiences.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented. I believe therapy works best when you feel understood and comfortable being open about your experiences. Together, we'll explore patterns in how you relate to yourself and others, while building on the strengths and self-awareness you already bring to therapy. I take an integrative approach, drawing primarily from relational, psychodynamic, and client-centered perspectives, while incorporating additional evidence-based tools when helpful. Our work may involve exploring how past experiences show up in your current life and relationships, making sense of what you're feeling, or finding ways to approach current challenges differently. Throughout our work, I’ll meet you where you are while helping you move toward a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all. Whether we're exploring how past experiences and relationships continue to shape the present, developing tools to navigate current stressors, or making space to process emotions, our work is guided by what brings you to therapy and what you hope to get out of it. While we keep your broader goals in mind, our sessions also leave room for whatever feels most present and meaningful that day. I view therapy as a collaborative process, with the goal of helping you deepen your understanding of yourself and the recurring dynamics that show up in your life and relationships.
