Sofia Schuringa
,BA Psych, ADMH, RHNC
Through my years of experience and training as a dancer, artist, counsellor, and an individual, I have learned the importance of authentic connection, creativity, and compassion. When working with new clients, I love to follow the philosophy, "be curious." I believe that authentically connecting with others is one of the most powerful indicators of success.
My background is in creative arts, mental health, addiction, and holistic wellness. I take a holistic approach with counselling - focusing on the various areas of your life and helping you find alignment and balance in all of them. This approach has been beneficial for many of my clients! We must treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. I follow the lead on what each client needs, meeting them where they are at. I take a person-centred, eclectic approach whether that is in person, over the phone, online, or via email.
I welcome you to get in touch and find hope and healing in the areas that you desire. Support is not far away!

"I've loved the worksheets so far--they're very helpful. As for the feedback, it really depends on the therapist. The first therapist I had only gave generic feedback, and it really seemed like she didn't even read my responses to the worksheet. Fortunately, changing therapists wasn't hard, and my second therapist is fantastic and gives spot-on feedback."

"I love the service but I would love to have an app on my phone, because logging in every time is slightly more time consuming, especially for a service that expects customers to log in twice a day.
A part from that : quick, I am happy to have been able to choose a therapist that lives in Canada (easier to relate to) and am enjoying my experience so far!"

"If you are honest in your worksheets answers this program will open doors to your inner self. You can find your balance and your place of peace. You can be strong and loving at the same time. This program is a beginning of a new way to perceive your life and living it with joy. Life is a state of mind that you should let only you and God control."

"Really like the online therapy more than I thought I would. And think that is because my therapist is the best. She really seems to know what to pick up on and ask about from the worksheets. Would highly recommend!"

"This online course has showed my some outline that I never would've thought of unless I came to the course and I appreciate the time and effort put into it. I feel lighter and have a clearer picture on what to do moving forward with my life and past experiences."

"How valuable has Sofia's counseling/coaching been? Good enough that I offered to pay for my brother-in-law and mother-in-law's counseling, in full, indefinitely.
I've worked with Sofia Schuringa through Online-Therapy.com for less than 1 week. I should have done it years ago. Her lines of questions and thoughtful responses have already provided more value in that short time, than the first month's entire payment.
The curriculum alone is fantastic and would be worth paying for. Sofia's prompt, expert, thoughtful, personable, and caring responses, on top of the curriculum, have already improved my relationship with my wife and I can see how a bit more work on my part, with her continued guidance, will continue my marital improvement and probably the same for every relationship in my life.
Just purchase now and dive in. You won't regret it.
This is my first experience with online therapy of any kind, and my first experience with therapy outside of brief marital counseling as an adult. I've always said that it was useful, and recommended counseling to others when I've seen a need. Never thought it would be useful for me! Wrong. Worth every last penny. Would pay more. Good luck getting rid of me! My wife has her own counselor, too. Also worth every penny and then some.
Best purchase of 2020 by far."
