About Sofia Therapy
We are delighted to see you've stumbled upon our tranquil haven in the vast expanse of the internet!
The name “Sofia” means Wisdom. We believe that true wisdom lies in understanding that there is always more to learn, and in embracing the journey of continuous growth and discovery
We are a team of licensed psychotherapists committed to providing compassionate and accessible services. Our names are Monika and Maggie. Our paths intertwined five years ago while pursuing our education in Couple and Family Therapy at the University of Guelph. It was during this time that our friendship blossomed, culminating in the inception of Sofia Therapy.
At the core of Sofia Therapy is the belief that the resources, strength, and courage needed to face life’s challenges lie within you and the relationships that are part of your life! Our role is to help you discover and access them. Whether through change, acceptance, gratitude, forgiveness or all of the above, this journey happens one step at a time, and we are here to guide you through it.

Hey there! I'm Magdalena, but people also call me Maggie. Picture me as your personal guide, here to help you navigate life's twists and turns with clarity, resilience, and a sprinkle of humor along the way.
In our sessions, we'll dive deep into your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, uncovering the roots of your challenges and connecting the dots between past and present. Together, we'll unravel the stories that shape your world, identifying patterns that no longer serve you and crafting actionable strategies to propel you toward your goals.
But here's the twist—I'm not just your therapist; I'm your partner in change, cheering you on every step of the way. Whether you're seeking to untangle relationship woes, conquer anxiety, or redefine your sense of self, I'm here to listen, support, and empower you to thrive.
So, if you're ready to rewrite your story, break free from old patterns, and step into the vibrant life you deserve, let's connect. Together, we'll transform challenges into opportunities and make your dreams a reality. Sounds good? Let's dive in!"
Modalities used: My approach to therapy blend elements of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative therapy, Solution Focused therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) approaches. I draw on different skills based on where you are at, and your personal journey.

CRPO Registered Psychotherapist
Hi! I am Monika - a fellow adventurer in this journey we call life! I am no stranger to the peaks of joy, the valleys of heartache, the roller coasters of emotions, the search for peace, and the mountains of uncertainty and challenge – they make life wild but also worth living! They have also helped me become a lifelong learner and someone who wants to support you in working through the ebbs and flows of your own journey.
So, how can I support you?
By offering you a space where you can pause, take a breath, check in with your inner compass, envision the destination, and consider the many paths you can take to get where you long to be. Together, we will explore the mission you are on – whether it’s about self-discovery, finding peace and happiness, rebuilding trust and connection, healing painful wounds, understanding emotions, or setting boundaries and managing pressure or expectations. We will also take a look at the paths you have already walked, the relationships you have encountered and built along the way, the strengths you have developed that have gotten you this far, and the things that you may need to keep going.
As your therapist, I welcome you with kindness and compassion, get genuinely curious about what lights you up and feels most true to you, cheer you on every step of the way, hold hope for what may seem both possible and impossible, and express gratitude for your courage to forge the path that is meant to be yours.
A friendly reminder - I may also at times gently challenge you with deeper questions, tentative observations, and different perspectives. It is my hope that you will leave sessions with something new – whether that’s a feeling, resource, an idea, or question to ponder. In the words of Maya Angelou - “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”.
I am here to support you in living out the stories that your life is meant to be about. Ready to get started?
