Sophie Rondeau, LAPC

I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor with a Master of Education in Counseling, specializing in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, from William & Mary. I bring warmth, curiosity, compassion, and respect to therapy, creating a space where clients can feel safe, seen, and supported. I deeply appreciate the courage and vulnerability it can take to seek therapy and consider it a privilege to accompany clients as they move toward healing and change.

I have experience working with anxiety, depression, adjustment concerns, grief and loss, trauma, relationship difficulties, substance use, and co-occurring mental health concerns. I have also supported women navigating recovery, with sensitivity to the roles of gender, trauma, safety, identity, shame, and connection. My experience includes individual and group therapy, and I draw from evidence-based approaches including DBT, Seeking Safety, Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT, mindfulness and self-compassion practices, motivational interviewing, and Cognitive Processing Therapy.

My approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, compassion-oriented, and guided by an attachment lens. Rather than assuming that one approach fits everyone, I work collaboratively with clients to understand what they are experiencing, recognize patterns that may no longer serve them, develop practical ways of coping, and strengthen self-trust. My hope is that therapy can help clients feel more grounded, connected, and confident in navigating life’s challenges.

I recognize that well-being is shaped by many interconnected influences, including biology and genetics, relationships, environments, systems, and life circumstances. This perspective allows us to explore personal struggles with compassion while also acknowledging the external barriers and experiences that may be affecting a client’s life.

Wherever you are in the process, I would be honored to meet you with openness and care as we work together toward greater well-being and connection.
