Meet Sophia
Sophia Zucker, LICSW (MA)
she/her
I am a white, queer, cis woman of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry in private practice in Northampton, MA on Nipmuc and Pocumtuc land. I offer collaborative, liberation-focused psychotherapy for complex trauma and dissociation, life transitions, and identity exploration. I prioritize - and take joy in! - working with queer, disabled, neurodivergent folks, outsiders, and trauma survivors.
I believe deeply that the distress that brings people to therapy is most often rooted in experiences of interpersonal and structural oppression and trauma. My approach to therapy draws on my training and education in psychodynamic, somatic, ego states, narrative, and feminist theory and practice, but is above all deeply relational, grounded in loving connection. I am especially grateful for the teachings of reproductive justice, disability justice, psychiatric survivor, and other intersecting movements that lift up the wisdom of lived experience and the centrality of mutual aid in our shared survival.
I work with people to listen and respond to information from their bodies, memories, and values, to unravel and uproot the legacies of oppressive systems that teach us that the problem lies within. I am deeply committed to and moved by my clients and the relationships we build in therapy. This work can be profound, connected, and often playful! If you are located in Massachusetts and interested in working together, I occasionally have openings in my practice and welcome your contact. I also offer clinical consultation to early-career therapists and welcome inquiries about this as well.
