Welcome to Sonja Favaloro Counseling, where there is room for every part of you.

In-person and virtual therapy for anxiety, trauma, and perfectionism in Washington DC & Maryland


Healing can happen when we move beyond "knowing" and begin "feeling."

If you’re struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, or the impacts of trauma, this space is for you.

Many people I work with share that, from the outside, they may appear to have it all together. Yet inside, there might be a persistent feeling of inadequacy or a critical voice saying that you are never quite "enough."

You may have even tried therapy before and walked away with a helpful intellectual understanding of your past, while still feeling as though your daily life and emotional reactions haven't fully shifted.

I work with clients who want to bridge that gap.

By incorporating Somatic (body-based) techniques and Mindfulness techniques, we will work on building awareness of thoughts and body sensations and releasing stress and trauma.

By using a combination of trauma-informed approaches tailored to your unique challenges and goals, you can rewire outdated patterns that no longer serve you and live a more balanced and present life.
