Sophia Thistle

Do you feel like you’re not quite yourself lately? When life’s burdens weigh you down, it can affect every part of your world. I work with teens and adults, offering a supportive space where you can find understanding, gain valuable insights, and begin making positive changes. Remember, you don’t have to face this alone, no challenge is too small or big—I’m here to help.

I have worked with a wide range of mental health concerns. My practice specializes in, but is not limited to, anxiety, depression, trauma, and women’s health. I’ve had the privilege of helping clients work through challenges like persistent worry, panic, sleep difficulties, and low moods. I have experience supporting individuals who are navigating various types of traumas, including PTSD, complex trauma, relational trauma, and childhood trauma, by using trauma-focused therapies like EMDR. I am especially passionate about helping girls and women navigate a wide range of challenges, including life transitions, puberty/PMS, relationships, mood, body image, and anxiety.

I take a personalized approach to counselling, integrating a range of therapeutic modalities to best support each client’s unique needs. In addition, you will be supported in sessions and between sessions. Following our first session you will receive a welcome packet, between sessions you have the option to send journal reflections and at the start of each session you have the option of setting a session agenda with me to help ensure the session fits your expectations! I like to tell my clients to imagine counselling as a sea voyage. You’re the captain, setting the course, and I’m your first mate—offering guidance and adjusting the sails to keep the journey steady and safe. I’ll check in to make sure the journey feels right for you and that we are headed towards a brighter destination.

As an RCT-C, my areas of focus include:
Trauma | Anxiety | Depression | Woman’s Health

If you’re ready to get started or have questions, I always offer a free 15-min consult to see if we are a good fit and how we could best work together.
