My name is Sonia Torres and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Austin, TX. I work with adolescents and young adults and specialize in working with individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma and are struggling with anxiety and depression. I use an integrative approach to therapy to create the best care for my clients. Some of the therapeutic modalities I use are Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness-based practices. I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship and creating a safe space for you to process experiences. My communication style is direct, honest, and gentle. I work hard to provide a safe and comfortable space where you can express yourself without fear of judgment. I also encourage my clients to be honest and transparent about how they feel in the therapy space, and I am open to my client's feedback about what they need in order to feel safe. Seeking help can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. I feel incredibly lucky to hear my clients’ stories and truly enjoy providing a safe place to anyone seeking services with me. I want to help you navigate your path with more understanding, support, and encouragement. I encourage you to reach out today!
