Sophia Belser
Registered Counselor Associate

We may be a good fit if you’re navigating:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Identity exploration
  • Relationship challenges
  • Life transitions

Hello and welcome! I’m Sophia (she/her), and I see therapy as a collaborative process that centers your voice and choice at every step. Whether you’re arriving out of curiosity, frustration, or hope for something different, I want to acknowledge the effort it took to get here.

As a mixed-race, queer woman who holds both privileged and marginalized identities, I bring an intersectional lens to my work. I recognize the ways oppressive systems can impact mental health and strive to nurture self-compassion as we navigate those challenges together. My practice draws from Emotion-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Techniques, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support you in reconnecting with yourself and reshaping how you relate to the world around you.

In our work together, my hope is to create a space where you feel safe to explore who you are with curiosity and care. You deserve support that truly meets you where you are, honors your story, and helps you move toward a life that feels more like your own.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I moved to the Pacific Northwest in 2024 and am a proud cat parent of two (or twelve, if we include all the neighborhood cats who have adopted me… depends on who’s counting). I enjoy anything creative- especially crocheting- reading a good book, and spending time outdoors. If this resonates with you, I look forward to connecting and being a part of your journey!
