Sonia Clark

I use a client centred approach, I am level 1 trained in Play Therapy and levels one and two trained in sandtray. I often incorporate aspects of other approaches when appropriate. This may include TF-CBT, MCBT, DBT, ACT, Play Therapy, Art based approaches, Music based approaches , Solution-focussed therapy, Narrative therapy, and EFT.

I warmly welcome military members, veterans, and their families to my practice.

With a clinical psychology background, my approach to therapy focuses on building warm, trusting relationships rooted in empathy and respect. I focus on trauma-informed, client-centered therapy to help kids, teens, and adults heal from past experiences and face life's challenges with strength. Using evidence-based techniques, I create a personalized and caring experience for each client. Whether you're dealing with trauma, significant life changes, or everyday stress, I'm here to support and guide you.

Cultural sensitivity is fundamental to my practice. I value and respect each person's individual backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences. I blend techniques from Psychodynamics, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and a client-centered approach.
