Meet Sophie Mccotter
Hi, I'm Sophie
I am accepting new clients! I am a Certified Social Worker (CSW) therapist and a Board-Certified Music Therapist (although if music isn’t your forte, that is fine because my work is always tailored to what feels right and helpful for you)! I work with children, teens, and young adults who are struggling with things like emotional ups and downs, anxiety, stress, depression, communication issues, and navigating relationships. As a fellow neurodivergent, I also specialize in clients with ADHD and autism to help them find ways to feel more understood and empowered in their day-to-day lives.
I have a Certificate in Trauma treatment and use a mix of therapy approaches depending on what works best for each person. Some of the tools I draw from include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), expressive arts, motivational interviewing, and play therapy.
When working with children, my focus is often on helping them better understand and express their emotions, build stronger relationships with family members, and develop the skills to make and keep friendships. Through a combination of play, creativity, and gentle structure, I create a space where kids can safely explore what they’re feeling and learn tools to manage big emotions in healthy ways. I also collaborate closely with caregivers to support connection and communication at home—because real progress happens when families grow together.
If you're in college or trying to navigate adulthood, therapy with me might look like talking through the stress of academic pressure, figuring out how to set boundaries in relationships, managing anxiety, or sorting out big life questions like “What do I actually want?” or “How do I take care of myself when everything feels overwhelming?” We’ll work together in a way that feels supportive, down-to-earth, and tailored to you—whether that’s through conversation, creativity, or a mix of both.
Above all, I aim to create a space where you feel heard, accepted, and not alone in whatever you’re going through. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or intimidating—it can be a warm space to explore, grow, and reconnect with yourself at your own pace licensed counselors are here to help you navigate through life's challenges. We offer individual counseling services that are tailored to your specific needs. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, we're here to support you.
