Sophie Talmadge Silleck LSW, LMSW

Sophie is an individual and couples therapist who has a background in relationship and sex therapy, as well as extensive experience working with individuals in addiction recovery. She feels that the best way to understand a client is by delving deeper and learning about a client holistically. Most presenting problems stem from larger themes and patterns in our lives, which is why it is pertinent to explore these.

By using a person centered approach, Sophie strives to create a collaborative environment where clients can work on goals they have set for themselves. As a member of the poly community, Sophie understands the need to feel seen and heard by a therapist; she aims to create a space for exploration free from judgment, shame, and stigma as well as foster open and honest conversations. Sophie believes in the importance of holding space for clients to identify their strengths and seek personal empowerment.
