About Me

Sonia Palmer, MA LMFT#158503 is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California, with trainings and extensive trauma-focused expertise in evidence based therapeutic modalities such as EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), IFS (Internal Family Systems), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral) and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral).

I am committed to providing client-centered care in a collaborative, ethical, and professional setting. 

My work has always been centered around helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, break through limiting beliefs, and cultivate a life of balance, purpose, and fulfillment.

At Mind Method Studio, my mission is to provide a supportive yet action-oriented space where clients can explore their inner world, overcome emotional barriers, and develop the tools needed for meaningful change. Whether you're working through life transitions, self-doubt, emotional challenges, or professional growth, my approach is designed to help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with confidence and intention.

Why "Mind Method Studio"?

I believe that trauma is rooted in the past—but healing happens in the present. This space is designed for exploration, experimentation, and transformation, like an art studio. We don’t just talk about what happened; we work with it. We examine the patterns it created, acknowledge the pain it left behind, and begin to reprocess it using evidence-based techniques.

But healing doesn’t stop there.

Mind Method Studio is also where we get to work on building something new—new habits, new beliefs, and most importantly, new neural pathways. Just like in a laboratory, change happens through mindful repetition, curious investigation, and courageous trial and error. Whether you're here to heal, grow, or reconnect with who you truly are, this is your space to do the deeper work—both emotional and practical. It reflects the core of my coaching philosophy:

🌿 Personal Growth – Embracing change and stepping into self-awareness
🌙 Inner Balance – Connecting with your emotional and intuitive self
🌞 Authenticity & Fulfillment – Aligning with your true values and purpose

If you’re ready to rediscover your inner strength, gain clarity, and take meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling life, we’d love to guide you on that journey.
