Sophie Niemaszyk

Sophie Niemaszyk, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Illinois who brings four years of clinical experience supporting children and adolescents with emotional, behavioral, and trauma-related needs. She focuses on creating a trauma-informed space where young people can feel heard and begin to make sense of difficult experiences. Her work addresses conditions such as anxiety, depression, anger, attention differences, and challenges with emotional regulation.

Sophie uses evidence-informed strategies that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Solution-Focused techniques, and trauma-informed interventions. She integrates skill-building and practical exercises so young people can practice new ways of coping in daily settings. Her approach also draws on mindfulness and other emotion-regulation practices described in her biography.

Collaboration with families is a central part of her practice. Sophie works closely with parents and caregivers to develop tools and routines that support a child across home, school, and community settings. She aims to provide an engaging, developmentally appropriate space that encourages growth, skill development, and stronger family partnerships.
