Getting to know Sofia Cardenas

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (License #145218) with a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Mount St. Mary’s University. I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space where you can work towards healing, growth, and self-discovery. With over seven years of experience in community mental health, I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s challenges. My approach My therapeutic style incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to meet you where you are and empower you to rewrite your story. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions, I tailor my approach to your unique needs and goals. My focus I primarily work with adult clients facing anxiety and depression. My communication style Rooted in empathy and compassion, I prioritize active listening, clear dialogue, and providing feedback in a nonjudgmental manner. My journey to mental healthcare I chose to become a therapist because I grew up in a low-income community and witnessed families navigating life without access to resources or support. These experiences inspired my passion for giving back. I have dedicated my career to providing compassionate care, helping others navigate challenges, and fostering growth. I continue to work in community mental health to ensure care is accessible and impactful for those who need it most. My goals for you I aim to meet clients where they are by understanding their unique experiences and priorities. I ask open-ended questions to explore what they want to see different in their life. My first session with you The first session focuses on building rapport, establishing trust, and helping you feel comfortable opening up. I will ask exploratory questions to better understand your cultural background and personal strengths.
