About Sophia Prior (She/Her)

Sophia Prior helps adults in Massachusetts navigate life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and practical tools for change. At LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy for adults, including young adults and those in midlife, who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or difficulties with alcohol and drug use. Sophia creates a supportive, collaborative space where clients feel heard and empowered while working toward meaningful, sustainable progress in their mental health.

She has a strong focus on helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, and substance use concerns, while also supporting those adjusting to life transitions or coping with the impact of stress and past experiences. Sophia integrates evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with mindfulness techniques, to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and develop healthier patterns of thinking and behavior. She also has experience supporting diverse populations, including individuals within the LGBTQ+ community, clients with developmental differences, and those with complex backgrounds; she offers additional areas of support beyond these specialties.

Sophia is passionate about helping clients reconnect with their values and lead more intentional lives. She emphasizes practical, skills-based work that clients can apply in everyday situations, whether they are managing overwhelming emotions, improving relationships, or working through challenges related to identity, self-esteem, or personal growth. Her approach balances compassion with structure, ensuring each session is purposeful and tailored to the individual.

She earned her education from Dickinson College and Suffolk University, and began practicing in 2026. As a pre-licensed clinician, Sophia is committed to ongoing learning and providing thoughtful, attentive care that reflects current best practices in mental health treatment.

Outside of her clinical work, Sophia enjoys reading across a wide range of genres, from fantasy to historical fiction, and practicing mindfulness to stay grounded. She values time spent in nature, particularly near the ocean, and enjoys creative outlets such as crafting while learning about marine life.
