ABOUT ME

Sophia Ciniello MSW, RSW, B-Ed., BA(Hons)

After providing counselling to individuals/couples/families/groups in various Private Practices for many years, I have decided to open my own, one that feels authentic to who I am. I am a passionate, whole-hearted, and open-minded person who loves to work with people.

I have been working in the social service industry for over 13 years. I have worked in Residential Treatment Centres, to schools, to Temporary Housing, and more. Each location has been an incredible opportunity to learn, and grow my approach. I believe that safe and loving connection is a human necessity and a critical component of living a happy and healthy life.

My practice is welcoming, accessible, and non-judgmental. All people are welcome in this space. I practice from an eclectic lens (including Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, ACT, Narrative Therapy, Brief/Solution Focused Therapy, and more) with knowledge and respect for a trauma-focused perspective at my core.

There are many titles that I use besides social worker or therapist: friend, mother, partner, daughter, sister, safe space. All parts of who I am lend themselves to my heartfelt work. It is my joy to sit with you and hear what you have to say.
