About My Clients
Dr. Sophia Maurasse sees patients ages 12–65 for a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma-related issues, mood disorders (including bipolar spectrum conditions), and complex or multi-diagnostic presentations. She has experience caring for adolescents with self-injurious behavior and for patients whose psychiatric and medical needs intersect.
My Background and Approach
Good treatment starts with listening. Dr. Sophia Maurasse begins with a thorough diagnostic evaluation and collaborates with patients to create personalized plans that fit their goals and lifestyles. Treatment may include psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of both. She takes a holistic approach, considering sleep, nutrition, activity, relationships, and medical factors, recognizing their significant impact on mental health. Dr. Maurasse employs trauma-responsive and skills-based methods, drawing on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) principles, cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and exposure techniques when appropriate. Medications are prescribed thoughtfully and collaboratively—not as a shortcut, but as a tool to support therapy and daily functioning.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Every person has a story that deserves to be heard and understood. I begin with thoughtful diagnostic evaluations and develop treatment plans tailored to each individual. Treatment may include therapy alone, medication, or a careful integration of both. I also emphasize lifestyle factors—sleep, nutrition, physical activity, and overall well-being—because mental health is deeply connected to how we live day to day. My practice style is grounded in curiosity, empathy, and collaboration. I invite patients to approach treatment as a partnership, where your values, goals, and strengths guide the work we do together. I often draw on evidence-based approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and collaborative problem solving.
