Offering in-person and telehealth sessions

Sophie Lyons-Covarrubias is a white, queer, cis-ish woman specializing in LGBTQIA2S+ care. They work with clients ages 12+ up across identities, offering individual, couples, family, and group therapy in an affirming space to explore identity, embodiment, and pleasure through curiosity, consent, and compassion at all developmental stages. 

Sophie is currently working towards their license in Mental Health Counseling and is supervised by Dr. Bryan Harnsberger, Psy.D. Their clinical approach is gender-affirming, and trauma-informed, drawing from Gestalt, relational-cultural, and parts-based frameworks. She supports clients in building self-trust, awareness, and connection while acknowledging the impact of systemic harm on mental health. She is passionate about working with queer and trans clients, as well as those navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and addiction. Their clinical work is rooted in culturally responsive, identity-affirming, and anti-oppressive care that honors both the wisdom of the body and the complexity of lived experience.

Clients describe Sophie as warm, attuned, and gently direct. She is not a blank slate therapist, and believes it’s important for therapists to model what it looks like to be human, while remaining grounded in clinical care and ethics.She prioritizes authenticity and mutual respect, emphasizing the importance of therapy as a collaborative space. With a background in yoga therapy, Sophie is an 800-hour certified TCTSY-F yoga facilitator with advanced training in trauma-sensitive modalities. Body-based awareness may show up in sessions through noticing clients body language and through curious questions about what clients are sensing internally. This work is always invitational, prioritizing choice, consent, and safety. 

Sophie holds a Bachelor’s degree from Lesley University in Holistic Psychology and Wellness and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from William James College, with a concentration in LGBTQIA2S+ mental health. Outside of their clinical work, Sophie enjoys getting outside, soaking up the sun, and being in community. They also love quiet evenings at home with their wife and cats, reading or binging a TV show. 

Sophie also provides gender-affirming care and surgery letters to support access to affirming medical treatment.
