Sofia Rae Mannarino


I view counseling as a supportive process where individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings in a safe environment. My ideal client may struggle with issues such as anxiety, depression, and/or relationship challenges. I work to build rapport so clients feel comfortable expressing their emotions and gaining insight into their behaviors. Together, we collaborate on setting goals that provide a sense of control and direction in the therapeutic process—whether that's developing coping strategies, improving overall well-being, or fostering healthier relationships. Ultimately, I aim to help each client find motivation through resilience and feel empowered to overcome life’s challenges.
My philosophy is that every client is unique and deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. Each person has the right to individualized, compassionate care. My training and experience are rooted in Trauma-Informed Practice (TIP), with a specialization in promoting child and adolescent well-being. I also have experience counseling individuals navigating autism, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues. This background allows me to tailor therapeutic strategies that truly resonate with the individual, especially children, in a way that supports growth and thriving in a safe, supportive environment.
I look forward to working together in a space where confidentiality and safety are top priorities. You can expect a nonjudgmental, open environment where you are free to share and speak honestly. We will build a bond of trust while working toward your goals, developing coping skills, and addressing your unique needs. In every session, I am committed to actively listening and ensuring that you feel heard, seen, and supported throughout your journey.
