Sonya Fox

Sonya is a Master’s Level Intern at our Oak Cliff location supervised by Linda Graham, LPC.  Her primary focus is women’s issues, working through religious/spiritual exploration and challenges, past trauma, grief and bereavement, couples therapy, life transitions, and blended family systems to positively impact the legacy of our family trees.  

Sonya brings an existential approach to therapy as she passionately believes that while we may not be able to control our circumstances, we can control how we respond to them.  Her desire is to meet individuals and families where they are at, validate the reality of their present and focus on the hope of their future by helping them discover their authentic self.  

She earned her Bachelor of Science from Midwestern State University.  She has served the healthcare industry for over 20 years.  This work allowed her to assist individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds in a variety of settings including the Neonatal ICU, Trauma ICU and most recently as a family advocate for Organ procurement and transplant services.  

Sonya is a native East Texan, the oldest of her siblings, and the mother of five children.  Her transition into adulthood became an unhealthy byproduct of learned behavior from her own family of origin. Being very grounded in her faith, she knew when she and her husband married navigating a healthy, blended family would require learning to do things differently.  This meant building effective co-parenting skills and healthy interactions. Through her experiences Sonya’s passion for people led her to pursue a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Texas Woman’s University where she is currently completing her internship.  

As empty nesters when not working, Sonya and her husband spend time cruising, enjoying any activity that involves the sun and water, or loyally cheering on their college football team.  No matter the season Sonya strives to live by the philosophy that we have the opportunity each day to leave others better than we found them.
