Employed by Anchor Children and Family Counseling, Inc.
About:
Hey there! My name is Sonya Syers Federon. I am a graduate of Alliant International
University with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have a passion for assisting
individuals, couples, and families with unpacking negative life experiences, hurts, and
insecurities, that have affected the opportunity to live the best life possible. From poor
communication to childhood brokenness, I am passionate about going deeper into helping to
untangle the root cause of unfavorable behaviors and providing support in better understanding
the connections between cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning.
Being an African American, therapist I strive to respect the cultural and traditional practices of
all parties involved while collaboratively creating the best plan for the future. I am dedicated to
both supporting and providing my clients through their journey of better understanding the
how’s, why’s, and why nots of life by offering alternative options, and new approaches for
resolving wounds that have not had the opportunity to heal.
Through my integrative approach toward a healthier more balanced existence, I incorporate
aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and techniques to assist in coping with
emotional triggers. It is my hope that the normalization of mental health assistance will soon
become more acceptable allowing the freedom for everyone to feel comfortable in reaching out
for support. Because of this hope, I want to congratulate you on your courage in taking the first
step toward healing!
