Sophia Pazmino-Buckbee
Starting therapy can feel like stepping into the unknown. You might be hopeful, hesitant, or filled with the question: “Will this really help me?” That’s completely normal and you don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership grounded in mutual trust, curiosity, and care. My approach to therapy is collaborative, grounded in compassion, and shaped by the belief that every person holds wisdom about their own healing.
I bring a deep experience in both outpatient and intensive group settings for individuals managing alcohol and other drug use disorders. I have experience working with complex challenges including mandated treatment within substance use, grief, life transitions, anxiety, trauma, and the deeply human desire to feel more at ease in our own lives. Being a Licensed Professional Counselor, I draw from evidence-based practices like trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), CBT, solution-focused therapy, person-centered therapy, and motivational interviewing.
Whether you’re feeling stuck in old patterns, coping with loss, rebuilding after trauma, or working toward recovery, I offer a space where you can be met with respect and real conversation.
There is no cookie cutter formula for therapy, and I tailor our work to fit your goals and needs. Together, we’ll navigate your journey with empathy, encouragement, and unwavering support as
you build confidence, heal, and grow into the best version of yourself.
If you’re feeling unsure whether therapy is the right fit right now, that’s okay. Let’s talk about it and see if we can figure it out together.
