Getting to know Sonia Mijares

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDR Certified therapist with over a decade of experience helping individuals move beyond anxiety, trauma, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck. I specialize in working with high-functioning adults who may appear successful on the outside but continue to experience internal stress, self-doubt, or difficulty fully enjoying their lives and relationships. My approach is structured, goal-oriented, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including EMDR therapy. Rather than focusing solely on insight, I help clients reprocess the underlying experiences that drive persistent emotional and behavioral patterns so they can experience meaningful, lasting change. I offer both traditional therapy sessions and extended EMDR sessions, allowing for deeper work in a more efficient format. My goal is to provide a professional, supportive space where clients can feel understood, challenged in productive ways, and empowered to move forward with clarity and confidence.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported, while also helping you move forward in a meaningful way. My approach is both compassionate and structured, allowing us to explore your experiences while also working toward clear goals. In our sessions, you can expect a balance of listening, reflection, and active guidance. I use evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, to help address the root of ongoing concerns rather than focusing only on surface-level symptoms. My goal is for you to leave sessions with greater clarity, a deeper understanding of yourself, and a sense that real progress is being made.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Telehealth sessions are held through a secure, easy-to-use video platform, so you can attend from a space where you feel comfortable and free from distractions. Sessions typically begin with a check-in and then shift into whatever feels most important for you to focus on that day. I take an active role in guiding the process so that our time together remains productive and meaningful. Depending on your goals, we may explore current challenges, identify underlying patterns, and use evidence-based approaches such as EMDR to support deeper healing. My intention is for sessions to feel both supportive and purposeful, helping you gain insight while also moving toward real, lasting change.
