Sofia Alcala, MSW, CSW
Certified Therapist | DBT Specialist
Hi, I’m Sofia! I’m a therapist who passionately believes that we all carry innate wisdom and goodness, and when we tend to our pain with compassion, we create a ripple effect of collective healing. This journey is hard, but you are not alone.
Education
Master of Social Work

Experience
Trained in DBT, Narrative, Gottman, ACT, Experiential, IFS, CBT, and trauma-informed, culturally humble care practice.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing
- Survivors of sexual assault
- Queer folks
- BI-POC
- Faith transitions
- Couples/ families
- Emotional dysregulation and mood swings
- Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
- Anxiety and panic
- Trauma and PTSD
- Relationship challenges
- Self-harming behaviors or suicidal thoughts
My approach to therapy is warm, relational, and trauma-informed, grounded in radical compassion and cultural humility. I integrate evidence-based modalities like DBT, IFS, and somatic practices to support clients in reconnecting with themselves and moving toward healing.
Outside of my therapist cap, I enjoy yoga, road trips, carne asadas, time with loved ones, being in nature by bodies of water, listening to Kali Uchis, and collecting crystals. I value authenticity and compassion, both in my personal and professional life.
This path is hard because it’s hard, not because you’re doing anything wrong. If you feel we might be a good fit, please reach out! I would be honored to connect with you and see how we can collaborate to meet your goals.
