About Sonia Ross

Sonia Ross, LCSW-C, LICSW Spiritual Psychotherapist & Energy Healer I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland and the District of Columbia, with a Master's degree in Social Work from the Catholic University of America. Since 2011, I have dedicated my practice to supporting Black women in their healing journeys, integrating traditional psychotherapy with spiritual and holistic modalities. Professional Approach: My therapeutic practice is rooted in a holistic perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. I specialize in trauma recovery, particularly focusing on intergenerational and ancestral healing. My methods include: Somatic Psychotherapy: Addressing how emotions and repressed feelings are stored in the body, facilitating deep healing through body reconnection. Spiritual Psychotherapy: Incorporating spiritual experiences and practices, such as tarot guidance, energy healing, and communication with ancestors, to support expansive consciousness. Trauma-Informed Modalities: Utilizing techniques like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and the Trauma Conscious Yoga Method (TCYM) to provide comprehensive trauma care.
