Getting to know Sonja Carter

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of experience providing therapy. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from San Jose State University. I have a passion for supporting people as they work through life’s various challenges. I enjoy working with young adults to adults in all stages of life. I believe the client-therapist relationship is key to creating a sense of safety, comfort, and trust, allowing my clients to open up, discover their true thoughts and feelings, begin to heal, and feel empowered to handle life’s ups and downs. I work with clients to help them feel less alone and less helpless in their circumstances. It is important for me to build a genuine connection by listening, understanding, and gaining insight into their life experiences. This connection allows me to more effectively support and help them through eclectic therapeutic approaches tailored to meet each client where they are. I want every client to feel heard, accepted, and supported during our time together. Ideally, treatment will help clients feel they have effectively addressed past and present issues and that they are equipped and capable of conquering any future obstacles as their life moves forward in a healthier and more fulfilling direction.
