Chasya (Casia) Soroka Psychotherapy, LCSW

I love what I do, and I’ve been doing it for about ten years now. Even as a teenager, I remember wanting to someday work in the field of counseling. After college I accepted a job in publishing, but I kept feeling the tug of those earlier desires so I went back to school to become a therapist. I have worked with a hugely diverse group of people from all walks of life and have come to tailor my focus on work with individuals who have experienced some form of trauma or adverse life events. In my own life I know how important it can be to find someone that can help guide you through when life has dealt you a difficult blow. What I love most about this work is to see hope, healing and transformation at work in my clients.

I am genuinely interested in getting to know you, and I bring warmth and care to each of our sessions. I see our work as a collaboration to better understand the parts of your experience that you are struggling with and find ways to move forward. I will often integrate skills into our work that are tailored to you. I often use EMDR, a specialized therapy that helps resolve distress around trauma.

I’m excited about the more widespread availability of therapies that truly can help heal the damage left behind by traumatic events. One of the reasons I am such a proponent of EMDR therapy is that I have seen the way it can truly help clients find clarity and relief even when they have been through some of the most difficult experiences. I’m also excited about the ways in which mental health is evolving to become more accessible. While we still have a long way to go, there are more options now and more platforms such as this one that are making it easier for people to connect to help when they need it.
