Getting to know Sonya Drottar

Hi there, I'm Sonya! Hi, my name is Sonya, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of California, Berkeley. I work with clients in short- or long-term therapy to address life changes, stress, anxiety, and depression. I specialize in supporting clients with faith-based issues, postpartum challenges, navigating divorce or its aftermath, and parenting teenagers. My approach In my virtual practice, I offer a compassionate and collaborative space where we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address challenges, uncover new possibilities for growth, and cultivate acceptance of what we can’t change. My approach helps you identify and reshape unhelpful thinking patterns and build emotional resilience to take meaningful steps forward. My focus I specialize in working with adults navigating significant life changes such as career transitions, parenting challenges, or relationship shifts. Change can bring uncertainty but is also an opportunity for growth. Together, we manage the stress and emotions that come with these transitions, using evidence-based tools to help you move forward with confidence and purpose. As a therapist with a Christian perspective, I’m comfortable integrating faith into sessions for clients who desire it. My communication style When we work together, you can expect a calm and open dialogue where your thoughts and feelings are valued. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable being authentic and vulnerable, knowing there’s no judgment. My approach is warm and collaborative, focusing on helping you feel validated and supported. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to be a therapist starting in junior high—that was many years ago—but it has remained a passion and calling. My goal is to provide comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to each individual's unique needs.
