Let’s get to know
each other.
Connection is all about knowing and being known.
Sophia Bean, MA, LMHC, LPCC
I am a psychotherapist serving populations in Washington and California and I have over a decade of experience working in the non-profit sector with children and families. Walking alongside clients who are struggling is a new expression of what I have always been passionate about - relationships. I believe that, together, we help each other heal through connection, storytelling, and holding sacred space. In counseling and coaching, this relationship looks like curiosity, exploration of formative relationships, and empowering you to share your lived experience. In our work together, I invite you to come as you are, without expectation and with a curious heart.

My Approach.
Counseling is all about relationship. Together, we have the opportunity to cultivate a space for you to explore areas of pain, joy, grief, and needed healing. By looking back at formative relationships, we can begin to piece together a roadmap towards self-discovery and empowerment.
My therapeutic approach is based in attachment theory. I also implement the feminist framework to examine how sociological dynamics might be impacting your sense of self and connection to others. During our time together, I like to take a holistic approach and may ask you about sleep, movement, and lifestyle as I believe these aspects of your life impact your overall wellness.
