Sophia Kihm, BA

Master Level Intern

I am an MSW candidate at the University of Chicago completing my second-year field placement at Ashé Counseling. I am very patient, empathic, and creative. My clients view me as a warm, attentive, and self-aware clinician. I am passionate about pregnancy and motherhood and love working with mothers and mothers-to-be.

My goal is to work together with pregnant and postpartum women struggling with the anticipation and transition of adding a child to the family. This may manifest as anxiety, depression, or relentless stress. I largely use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with my clients, but also draw from other evidence-based modalities including Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). 

I grew up in Evanston, directly north of Chicago, and received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Chicago. In college I majored in psychology, particularly focused on infant and child psychology, and minored in visual arts. I am currently in my final year of graduate school, also at the University of Chicago, studying social work. I have extensive experience working with young children, especially in school settings.

When I am not working or in school, I enjoy reading, traveling, and making art. I also love cooking and am on a mission to try all the best restaurants in Chicago.
