Meet Sophia Rachwal, LLMSW

I love working with children and teens, especially those who may be struggling with anxiety, big emotions, self-esteem, or difficult life experiences. I know how overwhelming it can feel as a parent when your child is having a hard time, and it’s not always clear what the best next step is. My goal is to help both kids and their families feel supported, understood, and more confident moving forward.

I focus on creating a space where kids and teens feel comfortable being themselves whether that’s through talking, playing, or creative expression. I often use play therapy, art, and other hands-on approaches to help them open up, process what they’re going through, and build skills in a way that feels natural to them.

I also believe that parents are a key part of the process. I work closely with families to provide guidance, practical tools, and support that can be used at home, so progress continues outside of sessions as well.

What I hear most often from clients and families is that I’m easy to talk to and able to meet kids where they’re at. I strive to build strong, trusting relationships so each client feels safe, heard, and accepted. My goal is to help kids and teens grow in confidence, better understand their emotions, and feel more in control of their lives.
