Sophie Matthews, MHC

Hello, my name is Sophie and I am interested in enhancing creativity, connection, and a sense of well-being, as we strive for collective liberation. I grew up in Hong Kong, learning Cantonese from my Chinese mum’s family, and English from my British dad. I appreciate the multiplicative challenges and joys that come with a multicultural identity and hope to provide a space for Asian-identifying (AAPI) folks to feel understood. Whether you are a Third Culture Kid or feel somewhat suspended between identities, straddling various cultural spheres- I see you. Whether you are a product of immigrants, a “foreigner,” or a target of hate crimes- I see you, and I stand in grief and solidarity with you. 

My approach to therapy is eclectic, drawing from psychodynamic theory and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, which incorporates mindfulness as a core coping skill. I work with adults (individuals and couples) struggling with mood disorders, life transitions, relational conflicts, and identity exploration. I embrace a holistic outlook on health, which values spirituality, intuition, and inner wisdom. 

Finding a fitting therapist to entrust yourself to is a daunting task. I applaud you for taking the first step. You can expect me to be warm, inviting, and collaborative, tailoring the therapeutic experience to your personality, needs, and goals.
