Evalin Stephany Sosa
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT164529)
My name is Evalin Sosa. I am a board registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT164529) through the Board of Behavioral Sciences. I provide services under the clinical supervision of Nahomie Guillaume, LMFT (48571), and Ashley Oakes, LCSW (130871).
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Grand Canyon University in 2023 and my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy, from the University of San Francisco in 2026.
Therapy looks different for everyone, and I believe there is no “right” way to show up. Maybe you’re joining a session after a long day with your shoes kicked off, wrapped in your favorite blanket, eating a snack, or wondering what you’re even supposed to say. However you arrive, you don’t have to have it all figured out. I’ll meet you exactly where you are.
I believe healing begins with feeling safe enough to be yourself. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers or pretending everything is okay. It’s about having a space where you can laugh, cry, vent, sit in silence, celebrate your wins, or simply exist without feeling judged. My goal is to create that space: a place where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported.
My clinical experience includes supporting adolescents, adults, couples, families, and groups navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD/ADHD, life transitions, family conflict, stress, and self-esteem challenges. I have provided individual, couples, and group therapy under licensed supervision, facilitated groups focused on self-care, stress, and emotional regulation, completed intake assessments and biopsychosocial evaluations, developed individualized treatment plans, and supported clients in crisis using trauma-informed and culturally responsive approaches.
Before entering the counseling field, I spent more than eight years in Human Resources, where I strengthened skills in communication, conflict resolution, employee relations, problem-solving, and supporting people through complex and sensitive situations. That experience continues to shape the way I connect with clients, especially when they are navigating workplace stress, life transitions, family expectations, and moments of uncertainty.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, strengths-based, and person-centered because I believe therapy should be as unique as the individual sitting across from me. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Brainspotting, attachment-based interventions, narrative therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and Gottman Method principles, while tailoring treatment to each client’s goals and needs.
I welcome clients from diverse cultural, racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, and I am especially passionate about supporting individuals and families navigating acculturation, language barriers, intergenerational dynamics, and the experience of moving between cultures. As the daughter of immigrant parents, I have personal insight into the challenges many immigrant families face, and I strive to honor each client’s unique cultural identity, lived experience, and story throughout the therapeutic process.
I also welcome clients who want their spiritual or religious beliefs respected in therapy. While I do not actively practice a particular religion, I was baptized Catholic and have attended Christian churches, which gives me familiarity with Christian beliefs and traditions. I strive to provide culturally sensitive, nonjudgmental care that respects each individual’s values and faith background.
Outside of therapy, you’ll usually find me reading a fantasy novel, working out, spending time with my family, or enjoying the outdoors. I believe healing happens in the little moments, too. If you’re ready to begin, my hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel comfortable enough to just be yourself.
