About Sophia Amargi

I am licensed Marriage Family Therapist in California with 27 years of professional work experience. I specialize in healing complex and unresolved childhood Trauma and its impact on adult functioning. I work with helping clients understand how early childhood development can be deeply impacted and at times derailed by Trauma. If this goes unrecognized and unhealed it can severely impact us in adulthood with relationship issues, family conflicts, with what we believe about ourselves and how we see and understand the world and if we fundamentally feel safe in it, including intimacy related issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

“Thank you for everything Sophia”

“Sophia is incredibly skilled in her profession and doesn't let you skate by with traditional "talk therapy, " but makes you consider the how and why you do things to help get to your next level.”

“Sophia has been a lifesaver for me. She understands my situation and brings a depth of knowledge and experience to the table. She is very present and engaged. I can’t recommend her enough.”

“Sophia has been amazingly in tune with me since the moment we met. After our first appointment she was able to quickly understand who I was as a person and give me achievable ways to move forward week after week during a difficult time.”

“Sophia Amargi is the best therapist that I have ever had. She is extremely attuned to the needs of her clients and an expert at recognizing and helping others to heal from childhood trauma. I will be forever grateful to her for helping me to heal and to feel more confident and complete.”

“So understanding and compassionate.”
