Meet Sonia

I am a psychotherapist—but that title barely scratches the surface.

Who Am I?

Sonia Fregoso is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, grief-tender, energy worker, and somatic guide devoted to helping individuals reconnect with the innate wisdom of their body, spirit, and emotions. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from California State University, Los Angeles, and her Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California (USC).

Beyond her formal education, Sonia continues her lifelong study of Grief & Loss, Depth Psychology, Energy Psychology, Transpersonal Psychology, and Somatic Experiencing. Her work blends clinical expertise with Curanderismo, Ancestral practices, Spirituality, and Energetic healing, honoring the deep interconnectedness of mind, body, and soul.

Through her personal and professional journey, Sonia has come to believe that body-centered healing is energy work — and that every individual holds an inner healer within, waiting to be unlocked and remembered.

“I believe building a relationship with our body and Mother Nature strengthens our connection to intuition, self-worth, and self-trust.”

    Working with Sonia over the last year has been life changing. Through her use of somatic practices I have had the ability to reconnect with my body after a lifetime of disconnecting and numbing. Through her gentle guidance and wisdom with somatic practices, healing I never thought possible has taken place within me. Through this process Sonia has been extremely gentle and patient with me. I am forever grateful for being able to connect with her and work with her on my healing journey.

    Sonia creates a safe container to slow down, go inward, and trust in your body's wisdom. Working with her has shifted my process from knowing to embodying, and has allowed for my healing to occur at the pace my body needs. Sonia has brought humor and joy to our sessions as she's guided me through pain and grief, and her energy has been such a grounding force.

    I reached out to Sonia after losing my mother. I was dealing with complex grief and needed a space where my grief could be held and worked through in a holistic way. Working with Sonia, I learned to integrate my mind, body and spirit in a way that I had not learned before due to my own social conditioning. Sonia held space in such a caring way that allowed me to explore emotions that I had been avoiding. I am so grateful for the time I was able to work with Sonia. It’s so hard for me to explain my work with Sonia but I can say that we laughed, we cried, we felt deeply and all along I felt safe and held.

    Sonia is an incredible healer, I’m so happy I found her. Sonia’s approach is very trauma informed, she creates so much safety in her sessions, and sessions go beyond the surface or conscious level content. It’s my first time receiving such deep somatic guidance and since working with her, I’ve been able to process traumas and have been able to process and release energy that has been stored in my mind/body/soul. Sonia is a powerful healer and I’m so honored to have her on my self care team!

    I began my journey with Sonia in January 2021 and can say with the utmost confidence, zero hesitation, and pure admiration that she has been the catalyst for so much of the good to come from my mental and physical healing. It wasn’t until I met Sonia that I actually felt heard, supported, and empowered to even continue my healing outside of our sessions. I had never once done somatic body and nervous system check ins, but her guidance through them has allowed me to unpack the layers of trauma and pieces of me that I’ve suppressed in my body and soul. And somewhere along the way, I finally started to feel again. Sonia’s soulful connection to not only her deep rooted ancestral knowledge but her mastery of holistic practices are genuinely felt and appreciated beyond measure.

    Working with Sonia has been one of the greatest, most powerful gifts I’ve given myself while on this healing journey. We started having sessions during a very difficult time in my life, I was simultaneously hitting a kind of rock bottom and also going through growing pains of my own evolution. Sonia’s guidance and her capacity to allow myself to listen to my body and my own inner wisdom was like having the most loving energy gently walk me through letting go of my cocoon. The sessions we shared also greatly influenced my professional and creative endeavors, inspiring me to translate my metamorphosis through art and music, and truly launching me forward into my next big life chapter. Before starting with Sonia, I couldn’t have imagined how much I’d heal and grow. I’m forever thankful and I look forward to all of her offerings.
