Getting to know Sophire Nelson

Sophire Nelson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and negative self-image. A North Carolina native, Sophire takes a holistic and client-centered approach to therapy, integrating evidence-based practices such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). She is also certified in the Safe and Sound Protocol—a listening-based intervention designed to help regulate the nervous system and reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress. Sophire is known for creating a warm, nurturing, and authentic therapeutic space where clients feel supported to explore the root causes of their challenges. She believes that healing involves both insight and action, combining psychodynamic exploration with practical tools like CBT, meditation, and relaxation strategies to promote emotional balance and everyday well-being. Psychoeducation is a core part of Sophire’s approach. She helps clients understand how their brains and bodies respond to stress and trauma, empowering them with knowledge that fosters a deeper sense of control, safety, and self-compassion. Her goal is to walk alongside clients as they rediscover their inner strength and move toward lasting healing. In our first session together, here's what you can expect First sessions with me include us working alongside together to complete an initial diagnostic assessment. We will introduce ourselves while I share more about our new therapeutic and professional relationship. I allow room for questions that the client may have for me to ensure the clients needs are met.

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.
