Sophie Barrett, M.A. |
As relational beings, our sense of self is often shaped by our relationships. Unfortunately, many of us encounter harmful or painful relationships that can leave us feeling disconnected and ashamed. I believe that therapy offers a path to untangle these experiences, helping us rediscover our capacity for connection to ourselves and to others. I am passionate about the power of therapy to create a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment where you can explore who you are and what you desire. In our work together, I hope to get to know you and the experiences and intersections of your identity that make you who you are. I utilize a client-centered approach, meaning that I will seek to understand and respectfully hold all aspects of your identity, providing an accepting, gentle, and nonjudgmental space for you as you grow and heal.
Education & Training
Sophie Barrett, MA, earned her master’s degree in clinical psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary’s School of Psychology in Pasadena, CA. She is currently a doctoral student in Fuller’s PsyD program, where she is researching the intersections of grief, trauma, and community-based interventions.
Sophie enjoys working with adults of all ages for issues related to grief, anxiety, depression, relational trauma, ADHD & neurodivergence, sexuality, and identity exploration. She is trained in evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and trauma treatments such as prolonged exposure (PE) and cognitive processing therapy (CPT). Though she utilizes these evidence-based practices to inform her treatment, she has a strong bend toward relational therapies (humanistic and psychodynamic). In addition to clinical training in psychotherapy, Sophie has been trained in academic and neuropsychological assessment with children, adolescents, and young adults. Sophie joined Downtown Mind Wellness in August 2024.
Sophie Barrett is a Registered Psychological Associate (PSB 94028434) under the supervision of Dr. Gita Donovan (PSY 32109).
