About Sophia Amargi

Sophia Amargi is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 27 years of clinical experience. She focuses on repairing the lingering effects of complex and unresolved childhood trauma and helping clients understand how early development can shape adult behavior and relationships. Her work emphasizes how unrecognized or unhealed trauma may influence relationship patterns, family dynamics, personal beliefs, sense of safety, and intimacy in adulthood.

Sophia integrates a trauma-informed approach to explore how attachment, abandonment, control, and communication issues emerge from early experiences and affect present functioning. She supports clients facing relationship and family conflicts, midlife and life-purpose questions, mood and panic symptoms, and recovery from abuse or narcissistic dynamics. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as guilt and shame, forgiveness, impulsivity, isolation, and challenges around divorce and separation.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to match each client's specific needs. Sophia aims to create a collaborative process that attends to both practical goals and deeper emotional repair. She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and affirms clients for taking that first step.

One major advantage is flexibility - individuals can connect with therapists in the way that best fits their routines and comfort levels, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to maintain consistent care while juggling work, family, or other obligations.

Licensed professionals provide these services, and clients can change therapists if they feel another fit would be better.
