Soffia Jónsdóttir, LCSW - C

Psychotherapist
MD
Hi there, I'm Soffia! My name is Soffia Jonsdottir, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master?s in Social Work from Southern Connecticut State University. I work with individuals seeking relief from their emotional and psychological pain. I provide guidance, tools, and emotional support to assist you in reaching your health and growth goals. I would consider it a privilege to be entrusted to do this work together with you. My approach Basically, whatever works best, based on your needs. I draw from the scientifically based treatment wisdoms of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), somatic and trauma work, all within a context of kindness and curiosity. I use these approaches to help people strengthen their coping skills, work through conflict and fears, and discover what their difficult feeling states are asking of them. My focus I have over 20 years of experience working with adults and elders. My communication style My style is to create a therapeutic environment where you feel emotionally safe and accepted. Therapy often requires that you allow yourself to be seen, and being vulnerable requires that you trust me with your process. My journey to mental healthcare I grew up the eldest of 13 kids. The family system I was born into became increasingly dysfunctional as I grew older, and my struggle to make sense of the chaos sent me on a quest to discover a way through my emotional pain. Through training and my own personal journey, 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 you and me about what changes you want to make. My first session with you 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.
