Hello, I'm Sonya. .I'm a Social Worker, Psychotherapist, and Advocate...
So after days, weeks, or months of searching for "the right therapist" you found me. I know it can be a frustrating process. I'm not going to spend too much time talking about me or my credentials. I would like instead to tell you what type of therapist I am. Hopefully this will help you to decide if I'm the right therapist for you. It really isn't about me. It's about what I can offer to you to live your best life.
I am the type of therapist who works best with clients who will "put in the work" to make positive, long-term changes in their life. Therapy can be hard work. You sometimes have to change thoughts and behaviors that have been a part of you for a very long time. Please be assured that I will walk along side you as you successfully complete your therapy journey. I will give you the tools that you need to help you to make lasting changes in your life. I want to be the kind of therapist that I would want to go to if I needed help.

I received my Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I graduated from NC A&T State University with a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree. This was an advanced generalist program that is accredited by the Council for Social Work Education (CSWE).
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (License #C005920), which enables me to practice therapy independently in the state of North Carolina. I have been a practicing independent therapist for over 12 years. I am also working towards obtaining my Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS) license . I am a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist Associate (LCAS-A/LCAS-16531) which enables me to provide substance use treatment services under the supervision of a Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS).
I am not a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who prescribes medication to treat mental health and substance use disorders.
I began my therapy journey working in community mental health. I have worked with all client populations. I have also worked as a Hospice & Palliative Care Social Worker and as a Behavioral Health Social Worker in an Inpatient Psychiatric Hospital Unit.
I am a Board Certified Telehealth Professional Level II with certification from Telebehavioral Health Institute (https://telehealth.org/certified). This was a rigorous year long certification program that I completed in 2018.
I recently completed the Duke-UNC Tobacco Treatment Specialist Training. This is an intense, accredited training program that prepares me to become a certified specialist in the evidence-based treatment of tobacco use and dependence.
