Sophia Schiavone

Sophia is a Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern Psychotherapist and the Social Media Coordinator at our practice. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and is currently completing her Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Merrimack College. 

Sophia brings a warm, down to earth, and relatable presence to her sessions with clients. She believes that therapy is most effective when built on a strong foundation of trust and connection between therapist and client. Her approach is holistic and individualized, drawing from person-centered therapy and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques, particularly those that support regulating emotions and coping with stress and anxiety. She also utilizes acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, play therapy, and somatic-based approaches. Sophia is committed to trauma-informed, culturally responsive care, and works to ensure each client feels seen, heard, and supported. 

Sophia is also passionate about utilizing nature as a healing tool, and strongly believes in the interconnection between mental health and the natural world. She believes that reconnecting with the natural world can be a powerful way to reconnect with oneself. As a strong advocate for de-stigmatizing mental health care, Sophia is dedicated to making therapy accessible, inclusive, and welcoming for all. 

 

Outside of the therapy room, Sophia can be found walking her dog by the ocean, studying marine life, and birdwatching!
