Founder of Primus Psychotherapy
Sonia Ahmadi is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Primus Psychotherapy. She brings over a decade of clinical experience to her work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship concerns, identity questions, and major life transitions.
Clients often describe her style as warm, grounded, and direct. She offers a collaborative space where you can speak honestly, fully understand yourself, and begin making changes that feel realistic in your everyday life.
Her work is informed by a relational and multicultural lens, with attention to how family, culture, identity, and environment shape the way you move through the world.
Rooted in Insight. Driven by Change.
Real progress happens when understanding meets action. My approach blends deep insight with practical tools to help you not just cope, but grow toward your best self.
Understanding Your Patterns
Rooted in Bowen Family Systems. Challenges rarely exist in isolation; they live within the systems we belong to. We will explore how emotional patterns move through your history and relationships to help you develop "differentiation of self"—the ability to stay connected to others while staying true to your own.
Building Your Skills
While insight helps us see the patterns, action helps us break them. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and mindfulness to give you concrete skills. You will leave sessions with tools to regulate your emotions, set boundaries, and build self-trust in real-time.
About Primus
The word Primus comes from Latin and means first or primary. At Primus Psychotherapy, it represents the idea of returning to your primary self — the version of you that exists beneath stress, expectations, and old patterns.
Therapy is not about becoming someone new. It is about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have always been there — your clarity, your voice, your values, and your ability to move through life with intention.
Primus is the process of coming back to what is essential, so you can move forward with greater awareness, steadiness, and self-trust.
