Sophie Finken

Sophie (she/her) is a Licensed Master Social Worker through the state of Iowa. She earned both her bachelor’s degree in psychology and master’s degree in social work from the University of Iowa. Her professional experience includes working with young children, teens, and adults. She also previously worked as a direct support professional supporting adults with intellectual disabilities. Sophie strives to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can safely explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. She approaches therapy with a collaborative perspective, meeting clients where they are in their journey. Sophie believes that therapy is a supportive partnership that empowers individuals to navigate life’s challenges while fostering growth, resilience, and self-understanding. Her therapeutic approach is person-centered and strengths- based, drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques. Sophie works alongside clients to identify their strengths, build effective coping strategies, and create meaningful change that aligns with their goals and values. She works with ages 12+ and is especially passionate about working with neurodivergent & LGBTQIA+ populations. She is available to see both individuals and couples/families. Some of her clinical focus includes: anxiety, depression, identity exploration, body image, disordered eating, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Outside of work, Sophie enjoys spending time with her cat, Lennon, and with friends and family. She loves discovering new shows and movies and is always looking for recommendations to add to her ever-growing watchlist. She also enjoys reading, baking, crafting, and trying out new coffee shops around the area.
