Sonja Hanson is a dedicated clinical social worker and licensed therapist, specializing in counseling for children aged 5 to 12. She understands the importance of engaging not only with the child but also with their parent(s) or guardian(s), recognizing that, as Dr. William L. Coleman aptly stated, 'You can't just focus on the child... The family is the strongest and most enduring influence in any person's life.' Her practice often includes working with entire families to foster deeper connections. With experience as a family life educator and a former instructor at the University of Utah, Sonja has honed her skills in assisting fragile families, including those with divorced and single parents, to enhance parent-child interactions and cultivate a positive mindset that supports overall well-being. In her therapeutic sessions, she addresses children's anxiety and anger by exploring underlying emotions, applying an individualized therapeutic approach focused on the child's strengths. Sonja is committed to facilitating positive change, addressing the child's needs holistically—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
