Sonja Kurzweg (She/Her)
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)

Hi! I’m Sonja, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a deep passion for helping individuals and families navigate their therapeutic journeys. My approach is rooted in creating a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where clients can feel safe and understood. I believe in the power of humor and trust, and I’m dedicated to partnering with my clients every step of the way.

In our sessions, you’ll also meet Lola, my therapy dog, who adds an extra layer of comfort and warmth to our space. Together, we work to create an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone feels valued.

Professional Experience:

With over 14 years of experience in the field, I have worked in various settings including community mental health centers, in-home family therapy and private practice. I specialize in helping individuals and families improve their mental health and relationships, navigating life’s challenges with resilience and strength.

Therapeutic Approach:

I see it as an honor and privilege to partner with my clients on their therapeutic journey. My core belief is that it’s essential to acknowledge the impact of social, historical, and cultural systems on the client’s experience. I invite discussions of ancestry, race, gender, sexuality, size, and ability into our work together.

I use a person-centered and strength-based approach, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, multi-systemic therapy, and family systems therapy.

About Me

When I’m not in the therapy room, I love traveling, crocheting, working out (especially boxing and strength training), tending to my plants and garden, cooking, and trying new recipes. I bring these passions into my life and work, always striving to create a balanced and fulfilling life for myself and my clients.
