Sophia Cipriano

Welcome! Congratulations on this courageous step toward healing. I am a compassionate and relational therapist who believes that healing happens through connection, understanding, and collaborative effort. With a strong foundation in evidence-based practices, I combine the latest research with a warm, individualized approach to support clients in navigating life’s challenges. Whether you're managing anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or just seeking personal growth, I work to foster a safe, affirming, non-judgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered to create meaningful change.

As your therapist I work through a holistic approach, recognizing that each person is unique with individualized strengths, and I tailor therapy to meet your specific needs. By drawing from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), I help clients develop skills to manage difficult emotions, improve relationships, and cultivate resilience. Above all, I value the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for transformation, believing that true growth emerges from trust, collaboration, and compassion.

I graduated from University of Illinois at Chicago with a Masters degree in Social Work and certificate in evidence-based practice with children and adolescents. I hold a certification in Trauma-Focused CBT and completed a grant-funded program in Integrated Behavioral Health. In addition, I created a Trauma Track based on Cognitive Processing Therapy in a partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient program. My work has included higher levels of care, community mental health, and private practice allowing for a well-rounded breadth of experiences in a variety of clinical settings. 

If you're ready to take the first step toward healing, I am here to support you on your journey to a more fulfilling and authentic life.
