In person and virtual options available EMDR EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy. (more info to come!) adoption It takes a village. I utilize attachment and trauma theory and their respective therapeutic modalities. I will work with the child/youth and parents individually as well as all together. If you’re just starting your adoption journey and in the process of finding an agency, going through your home study, or waiting to be matched, there’s a lot of emotions we can attend to. Adoptive families face unique challenges and I’m here to help you navigate through it. If you are an adult adoptee seeking support, I am here for you too. Let’s talk about how adoption is impacting you as an adult. Our adoption journey is a lifelong process and we are continuously faced with how we understand ourselves in relation to the world around us. adoption groups I offer therapy/processing groups for youth, teen, and adult adoptees at various times throughout the year. The structure of these groups will either be a 6 hour day intensive or 6-week course. If you have a group of at least 5 adoptees that are committed to participating, please reach out and I am happy to run a personalized group! During these groups we explore topics like attachment, adoptive family dynamics, biological family dynamics/exploration, birth culture, grief/loss, relationships, identity, and adoptee culture at age-appropriate levels. relationships Oh boy. LOVE. INTIMACY. SEXUALITY. No matter if you follow monogamous or consensual non-monogamous relationship practices, navigating love is hard. I welcome you and your partner(s) to sit down and have a chat with me about the challenges you’re facing. We’ll initially start with individual conversations with you and then your partner(s) before sessions involve everyone. marginalized identities If you are a person of color (POC), LGBTQ+, undocumented, sex worker (SW), etc. YOU ARE SAFE HERE. I see you, I hear you, I feel your pain. There are countless systems that work against you. Let’s work on processing through the complex emotions you’re feeling and regain your sense of safety and belonging. I’m here for you. ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP) I offer a therapeutic modality called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in partnership with an organization called Journey Clinical. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help eligible patients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. I take on the psychotherapy portion of the experience, while Journey Clinical’s medical team supports you on all medical aspects. This includes determining eligibility, developing a custom treatment plan, prescribing the medicine and monitoring outcomes. Ketamine is a legal, safe and effective medicine used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety and PTSD. Ketamine has rapidly-acting antidepressant and mood-enhancing effects, which can begin to take effect within 1-2 hrs. after treatment and last for up to 2 weeks. It works by blocking the brain’s NMDA receptors as well as by stimulating AMPA receptors, which are thought to help form new synaptic connections and boost neural circuits that regulate stress and mood. Ketamine has also been shown to enhance overall neuroplasticity for lasting symptom improvement. Ketamine can be administered in a variety of ways, including IV infusion, intramuscular injection, via nasal spray and using sublingual lozenges. In my work with Journey Clinical we only use the sublingual lozenge form. educational trainings If your organization works with people that are adopted or in foster care, Sofia Kent Therapy can provide educational trainings about attachment trauma and best practices. Topics covered are foundations of attachment, adoption and foster care competencies, and considerations for practice. Some entities with which Sofia Kent Therapy has provided educational trainings are Aurora Public Schools and Adoption Options. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed41d8abec96f17e74f5e4b/6fac0a4e-e45e-403f-ac1e-58b992d097a9/IMG-4780.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed41d8abec96f17e74f5e4b/1668055621503-7LBD64EAJAPJSKDJ2GP1/unsplash-image-W5XTTLpk1-I.jpg Services - To uphold my value of equity, I offer a sliding scale option for those who qualify.

Sofia Kent | MSW, LCSW I am a Chinese-American adoptee who grew up in Grand Junction, CO. My childhood memories consist of playing imaginative games with my sisters and close friends. In my youth, I was an active member in choir, performed in musicals, and focused on my dream of being a ballerina. When I was 18, I decided to move across the country and attend Goucher College in Baltimore, MD where I obtained my BA in Psychology and Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies. In my junior year, I met my husband while studying abroad in Australia. Between my undergraduate and graduate education, I moved to Australia and worked as a residential counselor for displaced youth. Upon my return to the USA, I attended the University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work where I obtained my MSW with a concentration in Mental Health. During my time at DU, I worked as a gymnastics coach, dance teacher, and a Behavior Therapist. I interned as a Youth Success Advocate with the Family and Community Engagement program through Denver Public Schools (DPS) and then as an Adoptive Family Case Worker with Adoption Options. Upon graduating, I began my private practice and served as a school social worker at Montview Elementary in Aurora Public Schools. Now, I focus on my therapeutic work and advocating. My life-long journey of navigating what it means to be an Asian-American female adoptee fuels my passion for helping others make sense of who they are in this world.

I continue my passions of singing and dancing through my work as a dance/fitness instructor and serenading my cats on long car rides. When I’m not working, dancing, or spending time with family and friends, I enjoy knitting, reading, doing my nails, and watching Star Trek (TNG and Voyager are the best) and FRIENDS! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed41d8abec96f17e74f5e4b/3b945026-ee9a-4d43-bdf1-b0ec458f24bf/KCole-Fia-4692.JPG About Sofia - fun facts about Sofia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed41d8abec96f17e74f5e4b/1609966249470-VIL26YIOPJD6X0NQJT8D/Shoutout+Colorado.png About Sofia click picture for link to article https://www.sofiakenttherapy.com/home daily 1.0 2024-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed41d8abec96f17e74f5e4b/1591044770586-YC0IKMQZ3QCQ6LYQ2MNU/image-asset.jpeg Home - “Don’t let your mind bully your body.” — June Tomaso Wood https://www.sofiakenttherapy.com/resources daily 0.75 2024-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed41d8abec96f17e74f5e4b/1591051855473-A7E1V4JYLQJ4EJ0KWIUW/image-asset.jpeg Resources - about adoption/attachment Securely Attached by Eli Harwood Raising Securely Attached Kids by Eli Harwood The Primal Wound by Nancy Newton Verrier https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ed41d8abec96f17e74f5e4b/1591051981815-YX6BWW6LONEXXHENADBA/image-asset.jpeg Resources - about trauma The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, MD Widen the Window: Training Your Brain and Your Body to Thrive During Stress and Recover from Trauma by Dr. Elizabeth A.

I approach everyone through a trauma-informed, social-justice, critical-race theory, systemic, and feminist lens. I believe in exploring every part of an individual which includes your history, culture, experiences, and the systems you come into contact with. I come from an attachment-based perspective when working with relationships and individuals as it helps us form a foundation of understanding about how we interact and relate to those around us. I use a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance-Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic, and mind/body techniques. I also offer EMDR. I have a non-judgmental and compassionate therapeutic style that focuses on your goals and values. My purpose is to be a resource for you, your family, or your relationship. I can promise to be a partner in healing and growth. https://www.sofiakenttherapy.com/feedback-reviews daily 0.75 2022-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Feedback & Reviews https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Feedback & Reviews https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Feedback & Reviews https://www.sofiakenttherapy.com/get-started daily 0.75 2020-05-31 https://www.sofiakenttherapy.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-youothers-acyl7 monthly 0.5 2019-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560190004400-XTA0DF0S9WOZJUG994C8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Original_845035.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You+Others https://www.sofiakenttherapy.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-others-g8wat monthly 0.5 2019-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189982811-KFAJF1TCUH1SXZ827UMC/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844923.jpg Get Started - Relationship with Others https://www.sofiakenttherapy.com/get-started/p/relationship-with-you-nd77e monthly 0.5 2019-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ced8e1d5fd4c700018dd761/1560189874730-3B0TSLDUHTQ93497V3L8/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_844934A.jpg Get Started - Relationship with You
