Getting to know Sophie Kleinhandler
I am an Associate Therapist practicing in New York at Sol Health. I earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University and my BA from Muhlenberg College.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I’m here to make that process a little easier. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. I work with individuals on a variety of mental health challenges, as well as couples. My passion is helping people feel safe, understood, and empowered as they work towards creating positive change in their lives.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I aim to create a supportive space where clients feel comfortable opening up, while also providing gentle challenges to encourage growth.
I tailor treatment to each person, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and psychodynamic approaches. This allows me to meet clients where they are and adapt the process to their unique needs.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first sessions, we’ll focus on understanding your goals and what brings you to therapy, while building a strong, supportive relationship. As we continue, sessions usually involve open conversation to help you manage challenges, build coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

This was the first time therapy didn’t feel awkward or intimidating. My therapist was easy to talk to, asked thoughtful questions, and made me feel seen rather than analyzed.
