Getting to know Sofia Tomina

Hi there, I'm Sofia! My name is Sofia Garcia Tomina, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in San Diego, California, working via telehealth. I earned my Master's in Mental Health Social Work from San Diego State University. I am of Mexican ethnic background and speak Spanish fluently. I work with adults ages 18 and up, specializing in treating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and life transitions. I utilize practical techniques to help my clients begin their healing journey and build a more positive, authentic life. My approach to therapy varies to meet the specific needs of each client. The most common techniques I use include empathic listening, highlighting strengths, practical exercises to assist with thought processing and feeling identification, and developing a plan toward healing. I also use music and humor as appropriate to bring light into life's challenging situations. I work with transitional-age youth, young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults who may be experiencing life transitions that impact daily living and lead to anxiety, stress, depression, or grief and loss. I also support migrant populations struggling to adjust to living in a new country. My purpose is to help clients navigate these challenges and develop the skills necessary for a more balanced, brighter outlook on life. My communication style is calm, soothing, and flexible, tailored to each client's needs. I want my clients to feel safe and comfortable sharing their concerns, thoughts, feelings, and goals. I hold the values of integrity, dignity, and the worth of the person, maintaining a non-judgmental, empathic attitude. I decided to become a therapist because I have always felt compelled to help people on their journey to emotional healing when facing significant life challenges.
