Sometimes the most worrying words a child says are, "I am fine."

Children do not always tell us when they are struggling. Some do not have the words to explain how they feel. Some worry about upsetting the adults they love. Others have learnt to hide their emotions so well that nobody realises they need help.

That is why it is important not to stop at the first answer.

A child who says "I am fine" may genuinely be okay. But sometimes those same words are an invitation to slow down, stay present, and gently let them know they can talk when they are ready.

The conversations that change a child's life are not always the big ones. Often, they begin with one caring adult who notices, listens without judgement, and keeps showing up.

Sophia Papageorgopoulos, LGPC
Therapist (Bel Air)

Sophia uses a Person-Centered approach to therapy, often integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness. She views therapy as a collaborative journey—walking alongside clients as they clarify what truly matters and take meaningful steps toward growth. Sophia is passionate about helping teens navigate the challenges of growing up while also supporting survivors of narcissistic abuse and highly sensitive individuals in becoming their most authentic selves. Sophia brings deep empathy and practical insight, helping others rebuild trust in themselves, set healthy boundaries, and experience lasting healing—all beginning with self-awareness. Clients often describe Sophia as calming, understanding, and genuine. Guided by the belief that “we are broken in relationships and healed in relationships,” she creates a nurturing environment where clients feel safe to explore, grow, and simply be themselves. As a Christian, Sophia strives to let love guide all she does, especially in her work as a counselor. Sophia works with adults and adolescents (age 13+) and is available for in-person sessions in Bel Air and via telehealth. She has immediate availability for Carefirst Blue Cross Blue Shield and United Healthcare clients and is in process of becoming in network with Cigna (Evernorth).
