Getting to know Sostenes Lima
I am a licensed therapist in North Carolina, Florida, and California, with extensive experience helping individuals navigate challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and more. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Psychodynamic therapy, Psychoanalysis, Attachment theory, and mindfulness. This allows me to tailor my methods to meet each client's unique needs and emotional experiences.
I specialize in helping individuals address the deep-rooted patterns that may be influencing their current behaviors and relationships. Whether you're dealing with the effects of childhood trauma, attachment difficulties, or past emotional wounds, I provide a safe and supportive space for your healing journey. As an author of *Overcoming Your Childhood Trauma*, I am passionate about supporting others in reclaiming their emotional well-being.
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University and a Bachelor’s degree from Grand Canyon University, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to support my clients effectively.
What should a new client know about working with you?
New clients will experience a therapeutic space rooted in trust, empathy, and collaboration. My approach is relational and insight-oriented, focusing on helping you understand underlying emotional dynamics and how past experiences may impact your present life. I work at your pace, creating an environment where you feel heard and respected. With training in attachment and psychodynamic therapy, I help you gain deeper insights into your relationships, emotional patterns, inner world and develop coping skills.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our work together typically begins with a thorough exploration of your history and present challenges. From there, we will co-create a therapeutic space tailored to your needs, whether through exploring patterns using psychodynamic techniques or processing trauma. Sessions may involve deep self-reflection, exploring relational dynamics, or working through past experiences that continue to affect you. My goal is to guide you through a process of self-discovery and healing, enabling you to develop greater self-awareness and emotional resilience.
