Sofiya Kostareva, LMHC, REAT
EMDR, Somatic and Expressive Arts Therapist
(she/her)
Welcome! I’m Sofiya, a trauma therapist who provides EMDR therapy, somatic therapy, and expressive arts therapy for women, queer people and parents with a history of trauma in the Seattle area and online throughout Washington state.
My work supports people navigating life transitions, including postpartum and parenting-related stress, complex trauma, anxiety, and burnout. I specialize in helping parents who want to break intergenerational patterns, regulate their nervous system, and feel more present, grounded, and connected to their children in their daily lives.
My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing from EMDR, somatic-based practices, mindfulness based stress reduction and expressive arts therapy. This means our work goes beyond talk therapy—we also engage the body and creative process through movement, visual art, writing, and other experiential practices to support healing at a deeper level.
I particularly enjoy working with entrepreneurs, artists, immigrants, and caregivers who value community, emotional depth, and meaningful change. I also teach continuing education for licensed counselors and provide supervision to graduate and associate level clinicians seeking their LMHC and REAT certifications.
If you’re looking for trauma therapy or EMDR therapy in Seattle, or somatic and expressive arts therapy to support healing and reconnection, I’d love to connect.
