I am Sophia Gebbia-Richards, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and certified Psychedelic Guide with a deep passion for guiding individuals toward holistic healing and transformation. I completed my Master of Social Work from Fordham University, where I graduated summa cum laude; I bring a robust educational foundation to my work with clients.

My personal journey, marked by its own struggles and triumphs, has illuminated my path towards helping others find healing. Through my own challenges, I discovered the profound impact that therapy and non-traditional healing practices can have.

My professional experience encompasses conducting remote and in-person therapy sessions for a diverse range of clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. I specialize in utilizing Internal Family Systems (IFS), with a unique emphasis on preparation and integration for clients' psychedelic journeys.

For clients interested in spiritual work, we can use the Akashic Records as a tool for information on your soul's purpose and past lives. I also work with unattached burdens (entities and guides) that can show up in our system.

Additionally, I am the Founder of PSYCLE, a directory platform connecting individuals with over 200 psychedelic-trained therapists. I am passionate about fostering relationships and managing collaborations within the mental health community.

ABOUT ME

Creating a safe and nurturing therapeutic relationship is my priority. If you're unsure which therapeutic modality is the best fit for you, that's okay. Together, we will explore and determine the approach that resonates with your unique needs.

Take a few deep breaths, relax your shoulders, and trust that you are on the right path.
