Sofie D'Amico
"If you are not making progress, I am not doing my job." Therapy should move you, and she takes that personally.
Starting therapy for the first time, especially in your 40s, 50s, or 60s, takes real courage. If you've spent decades managing life on your own and are finally ready to dig in deeper, you've come to the right place. Sofie specializes in working with adults ready to stop repeating patterns that no longer serve them.
Drawing from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused approaches, Sofie meets you where you are, practically and compassionately. Her work centers on helping you identify the patterns beneath your struggles, recognize the strengths you already carry, and build concrete, lasting solutions to the issues that brought you to therapy.
Sofie is especially experienced in supporting clients navigating late-in-life ADHD diagnoses, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder, conditions that are often missed or misunderstood for decades. She brings a grounded, nonjudgmental approach to intense emotional experiences and is deeply comfortable sitting with clients as they navigate their most difficult feelings. Whether you're wrestling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or relationship challenges, her goal is always forward momentum.
Sofie is building her practice around cultural humility and responsiveness, working with clients from a wide range of racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. She understands that where you come from and what you've lived through shape everything, including how healing happens. Her sessions are a space where your full identity is welcomed, not set aside.
Her style is direct, warm, and results-oriented. She won't let you stay comfortable in loops that aren't working, not because she is harsh, but because she genuinely believes in your capacity to change. Progress is the measure, not just time spent talking.
