Sonia Nothmann, MSW, LICSW

Hello! I’m Sonia. I am queer, culturally Jewish, and a person who feels big emotions like many people I work with. As a clinical social worker, the values that guide me are the dignity of the person and the importance of human relationships. As a therapist, my goal is for you to feel safe. I am trained in brainspotting, a highly focused, somatic treatment method for healing trauma. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, so I can support you with changing problem behaviors and regulating intense emotions. During sessions, we will probably do some practice with mindfulness and breathing skills, or dive into role-playing difficult conversations; a technique loathed by all, I promise this will improve your communication in the heat of the moment. My lens is informed by attachment theory, so we will most definitely discuss your important attachment figures, and we might explore how past attachment wounds are playing out in your intimate relationships today. I work with adults of all ages, and I strive to provide culturally-affirming and gender-affirming care. I use she/her pronouns.

Telehealth Services

To expand and improve our care options for clients, ACP offers Telehealth (phone or video) appointments. Telehealth uses phone or video conferencing to connect you with highly qualified and experienced providers in real-time from the comfort and convenience of your own home or office. Before your telehealth appointment, you will receive details for how you will connect with your provider. If you will be connecting via phone, the provider will plan to call you at your scheduled appointment time. Please be ready to take the call and also check that your phone allows calls from blocked numbers (accessible within your phone settings). If you will be connecting via video conference, your provider will email you an invite to join the appointment. Please call our office to learn more about ACP’s telehealth services and to schedule an appointment.
