Getting to know Sonya Adams

Hi there, I'm Sonya! Hello! My name is Sonya Adams, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Bakersfield. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My focus areas include trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I believe you are the expert on your experiences, and I look forward to helping you reach your goals! My approach My therapeutic approach is eclectic interpersonal. I believe therapeutic work cannot begin until trust is established between client and therapist. I use motivational interviewing to develop our working relationship and build a plan to meet your goals. I will work with you to decide which approach suits your needs. Therapy should be personalized to meet your unique needs. My focus I enjoy helping clients develop and meet their therapy goals. I have worked with high-acuity clients challenged with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or suicidal ideation. I am most comfortable treating clients with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and PTSD. My communication style I believe we thrive in a calm, peaceful environment. I work to create this for each client. One way I create calm is by using guided imagery to take an anxious client to their “calm, peaceful space,” such as a favorite beach with water lapping the shore or mountains by a stream. My journey to therapy As a pre-teen, I struggled with anxiety and anger after my parents divorced. I was connected to an amazing therapist who made a positive impression on my life. He helped me navigate anger without judgment and taught me healthy ways to express my feelings. He blessed me with knowledge I continue to build upon in my journey as a therapist.
