Introduction

Hello, I am a bilingual, English/Spanish Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S). I have been in the mental health profession for more than 18 years, with extensive experience across non-profit agencies, private practice, CPS, criminal courthouse, equine therapy, school settings, and domestic violence/human trafficking organizations. My educational background includes a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Texas at Arlington and an M.A. in Counseling from Argosy University/Dallas. Over the past 15 years, I have furthered my expertise through specialty training in Trauma-Informed Care, multicultural and marginalized populations, immigrants and refugees, Animal Assisted Therapy, play therapy, and LPC supervision from the University of North Texas. My passion is instilling hope and healing in children, adolescents, and families who have experienced trauma related to domestic violence, sexual assault, identity issues, life transitions, substance abuse, self-harm, anxiety/depression, grief/loss, interpersonal struggles, school stressors, and parenting challenges. I utilize an Integrative-Eclectic approach, embracing trauma-informed care, CBT and DBT techniques, Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), and Family Systems therapy. With younger children, I use a child-centered, play therapy approach; with teens and families, I incorporate expressive arts. At the heart of it all is a humanistic foundation — one of genuineness, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. I have found deep wisdom through personal adversity, having cared for loved ones with cancer and cognitive impairment, and raised my children in public schools where I volunteered for many years. Volunteering remains my inner compass, grounding me in purpose and selfless service. At Sonia's Place-Children and Family Counseling, I believe in something beautifully simple: the transformative power of connection and empathy. Every individual and family who walks through my door is embraced with warmth, understanding, and unconditional care. The journey toward emotional health is not always easy, it is filled with tender moments and difficult ones, but you were never meant to walk it alone. With patience, compassion, and a nurturing heart, I create a space where wisdom is gained, light emerges, and a new chapter begins, one where you and your loved ones can grow, breathe, and thrive together. Hola, Soy una Consejera Profesional Licenciada Supervisora, LPC-S, bilingüe inglés/español, y Supervisora de Terapeuta de Juego Registrada, RPT-S. Llevo más de 18 años en la profesión de la salud mental, con amplia experiencia en agencias sin fines de lucro, consultorio privado, CPS, tribunales penales, equino-terapia, escuelas, y organizaciones de violencia doméstica y tráfico de personas. Mi formación académica incluye una licenciatura en Psicología de la Universidad de Texas en Arlington y una maestría en Consejería de la Universidad Argosy/Dallas. Durante los últimos 15 años, he ampliado mi experiencia con capacitación especializada en Atención Informada por Trauma, poblaciones multiculturales y marginadas, inmigrantes y refugiados, Terapia Asistida con Animales, terapia de juego y supervisión LPC de la Universidad del Norte de Texas. Mi pasión es infundir esperanza y sanación en niños/niñas, adolescentes y familias que han vivido experiencias traumáticas relacionadas con violencia doméstica, agresión sexual, problemas de identidad, transiciones de vida, abuso de sustancias, autolesiones, ansiedad/depresión, duelo, dificultades interpersonales, estrés escolar y desafíos en la crianza. Utilizo un enfoque Integrativo-Ecléctico que integra la perspectiva informada por el trauma, técnicas de CBT y DBT, Intervención Relacional Basada en la Confianza (TBRI) y terapia de sistemas familiares. Con niños/niñas pequeños/as, aplico un enfoque centrado en el niño/niña y la terapia de juego; con adolescentes y familias, incorporo las artes expresivas. En el centro de todo está una base humanista-genuina, empática y de consideración positiva incondicional. He encontrado profundas lecciones de sabiduría a través de mi propia adversidad, cuidando a seres queridos con cáncer y deterioro cognitivo, y criando a mi familia en escuelas públicas donde fui voluntaria durante muchos años. El voluntariado sigue siendo mi brújula interior, que me ancla en el propósito y el servicio desinteresado. En Sonia 's Place-Children and Family Counseling, creo en algo hermosamente simple: el poder transformador de la conexión y la empatía. Cada persona y familia que cruza mi puerta es recibida con calidez, comprensión y cuidado incondicional. El camino hacia la salud emocional no siempre es fácil, está lleno de momentos tiernos y momentos difíciles, pero nunca ha sido tu destino recorrerlo sola/solo. Con paciencia, compasión y un corazón que nutre, creo un espacio donde se gana el entendimiento y sabiduría, emerge la luz y comienza un nuevo capítulo, uno donde tú y tus seres queridos pueden crecer, respirar y florecer juntos.
