Meet Sophia

Sophia Okyere-Oduro, MSW, RSW (she/her)

SOO Affirming Counselling Services is led by Sophia Okyere-Oduro, a Registered Social Worker with over 6 years of clinical experience and more than 12 years in community mental health in Toronto. Sophia holds a Master of Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University.

SOO Affirming Counselling Services takes a strength-based, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed approach, offering culturally safe, affirming care for Black and racialized people. We support people through both personal and systemic challenges in a space that focuses on meaningful healing.

SOO Affirming Counselling Services offers a warm, supportive approach to counselling, with a focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable sharing. Together, we explore experiences and patterns that limit your progress and work toward new ways of understanding your thoughts and feelings. This process supports healing, self-awareness, and meaningful growth.
