Getting to know Sophia Strauss
I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who supports children, adolescents, and young adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I take a compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based approach, helping clients build confidence, resilience, and the skills needed to navigate challenges with greater ease.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe every young person brings unique strengths to the therapy process, and I strive to create a warm, supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care, tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs and goals.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked with middle school, high school, and college-age students in educational and nonprofit settings. These experiences deepened my passion for supporting young people through life’s transitions. I’m committed to partnering with clients and families to strengthen coping skills, foster resilience, and support long-term emotional well-being.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
When you are ready to get started, schedule an initial assessment visit (intake) through Zocdoc. After you book an appointment, a care coordinator will reach out to review your method of payment and/or insurance number and answer any initial questions you may have before our first visit.
