Sophia Kopelow, MCP, RCC
Hello!
My name is Sophia (pronouns: she/her/hers). I hold a master’s degree in counselling from Adler University, a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from The University of Victoria and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors.
As I immerse myself in this profession, my fascination with the human mind, relationships and personal growth continues to deepen. My passion for mental health and supporting others in their path to healing is also rooted in personal experience. I've learned that with suffering/pain there often comes immense strength and resilience, and I’m constantly inspired by the opportunity that counselling gives both clients and therapists to grow and change into more authentic versions of themselves.
As a therapist and fellow human being, I am committed to appreciating individual diversity and understanding its impact on one’s identity. My work includes individuals with cognitive or physical disabilities or impairments, and all genders, ages, race/ethnicities, sexual orientations, spiritual/religious backgrounds are appreciated and accepted. Having gone through my own journey as a client, I know that it takes courage to reach out for help, particularly when feeling vulnerable, anxious, overwhelmed, or wrought with emotion. I strongly believe that everyone is capable of making lasting changes at a time and pace that is fitting for them.
When I’m not working with clients, I love spending time with my friends and family, moving my body and exploring the outdoors as much as possible. I also enjoy slowing down by making homemade cards and other crafts, listening to a wide selection of music and reading in the sun.
