Getting to know Sofia Nivar
LCSW | Bilingual Psychotherapist| Anxiety, Stress, Career Issues, Relationship Issues | Virtual
Are you struggling with worry, stress management, and self-esteem issues? Are these challenges affecting your personal and professional relationships? Sometimes it just helps to have a space to talk things through. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, and stress. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel emotionally drained, struggle with boundaries, Imposter syndrome, and carry a lot internally. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, make sense of what’s coming up, and feel more grounded. I encourage laughter and celebrating wins because therapy doesn't have to lack joy. This is a space for you to show up as yourself without the need to censor who you feel most comfortable being. We’ll explore patterns, build practical tools, and help you move through life with more clarity and confidence.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and sharing your story with a stranger, even more so. This space invites you to come as you are and share what you are ready to share. We will work at your pace, while building trust, and with the goal of eventually feeling as if time just went by way too fast, while looking forward to your next session.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
As a bilingual therapist (English/Spanish), I provide a supportive, trauma-informed space to explore patterns, manage anxiety, and improve relationships. Using practical and insight-based approaches, I help you build coping skills, strengthen self-worth, and feel more confident and in control.
