Sophia Willis-Conger, MA, LMFT
I love being a therapist. The insights I have gained from years of my own therapy have facilitated powerful transformations in my relationships and within myself; I am motivated to offer that opportunity to others.
It's an honor to be entrusted with the most tender parts of the human experience, and incredibly meaningful to support the people I sit with.
I work with couples and adults of all ages in Santa Barbara and throughout California, specializing in trauma, anxiety, and attachment. My approach is person-centered, focused on the authentic connection we create together, and informed by EFT, psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness.

Rooted in Santa Barbara
My practice is located at 27 E Victoria St, Suite F in downtown Santa Barbara, a short walk from State Street. Alongside in-person work, I offer telehealth sessions to adults and couples throughout California.
If you're considering therapy, I'd be glad to talk. A free 15-minute phone consultation is the easiest way to see whether we're a good fit.
