Dr. Sophia Brandstetter

I am the Clinical Director of Growth Thru Change and provide training to psychotherapists across specialties. With over 20 years of experience in the field, I specialize in supporting people seeking long-term, in-depth psychodynamic work.

You may feel stuck—whether in relationships, your career, or within yourself. Perhaps you’re grappling with anxiety, depression, or the lingering effects of trauma. Complex family dynamics or recurring patterns may keep resurfacing, making it difficult to move forward. Even if you don’t yet have all the words for what you’re experiencing, you know something needs to change. In our work together, we’ll explore the stories that have shaped you—early-life experiences, relationship struggles, and emotional wounds. Our process will go beyond intellectual understanding to cultivate deep emotional insight and meaningful transformation. Rather than treating symptoms alone, we’ll uncover the underlying forces that drive these patterns and open the door to new ways of being.

My approach is deeply informed by psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, and relational theories. As we unravel ingrained patterns, the therapeutic space becomes one where trust, connection, and possibility can emerge. If you’re feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the way forward, we’ll begin wherever you are. When you’re ready, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation so we can connect and walk through the process together.

I also provide Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) as an additional modality for clients seeking support in their healing journey.
