Sophia DeVito, LMSW (they/ze)
Hi! I’m Soph.
I’ve been a therapist for six years. Before that I worked for over 10 years with kids in basically every kind of childcare setting that exists. I’m a parent of a small human. My favorite season is winter, my favorite tv show is Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and my favorite author is Ursula K. Le Guin.
When I’m not therapizing or child-rearing I can be found sky-gazing, gardening, reading, napping, biking in summer, or hiking in all seasons. I help organize a small-ish monthly gathering for queer families in the Capital Region and have been finding other ways to do my small part push back against the tide of authoritarianism and protect my family and my neighbors.
If you want more information about my professional skills, experience, and philosophy please see below. And there will soon be more under the “Specialties” tab!
My Therapy Practice…
incorporates a variety of psychotherapy frameworks and orientations. I help clients dig deep with the use of Internal Family Systems. We work on nervous system regulation with somatics-based approaches. I collaborate with clients to explore, edit, and rewrite the stories they tell about themselves and the world with Narrative Therapy. And when you just want to get something done we might utilize more of a coaching approach to support executive functioning. I also incorporate and stay current on social justice frameworks such as Queer Theory, HAES/Body liberation, Disability Justice, Anti-Racism, and more. It is of the utmost importance to me that the therapeutic work we do is understood within the larger context of systems of oppression and collective struggles for liberation.
