Sonya Budnovitch
(she/her)
I am a licensed professional counselor and board certified dance/movement therapist. I strive to create an open and safe space for clients to be their authentic self and find it important to see a client's physical, emotional, and developmental world through their lens. We will work together to explore and express emotions, develop and expand communication skills and relationships, and find ways to continue overall growth within the therapeutic relationship. I focus on solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral therapy approaches, but employ additional options as needed, depending on each client's personal journey towards healing.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I strive to create a safe space for clients to be their authentic self and find ways to continue their growth within the therapeutic relationship, which starts in the first session. Building rapport, getting to know each other and engaging in conversation about different aspects of the therapeutic process can be expected in our first session together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My strengths include meeting clients where they are at physically, emotionally and developmentally and allowing the client to be a leader within the therapeutic space.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Clients who are over the age of 18 would be best for this particular practice. In-person appointments are available on Mondays and Tuesdays only. All other visits will be virtual.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I pull from CBT and use techniques to assist with challenging negative thoughts, improving mindset and reducing heightened emotional states.
Mind-body approach
I am a board-certified dance/movement therapist and truly believe in the body/mind connection within wellness.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
All of my approaches are based on the person who comes into session with me. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and finding the right therapist for you.

Sonya was my first choice when deciding which therapist to choose. So far I’m happy I went with my first choice. Sonya is a great listener. She elaborates on things well. She ask the right questions and gives great feedback. I’m on the road to healing.
