Getting to know Sophia Bankole

I am a dedicated LMHC and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and Certified Grief-Informed Specialist with over three years of experience helping clients navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. My approach integrates evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality/Choice Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, inner child work, grief work, and trauma-focused care. I strive to foster a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered. Grounded in a collaborative and strengths-based philosophy, I tailor each session to the unique needs of each individual—focusing on self-awareness, resilience, and actionable strategies for growth. My goal is to help clients uncover their inner strengths, develop practical solutions, and achieve their personal goals.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
