Are you approaching a later-life transition — retirement, or grown children who suddenly act like they're the parent? Or navigating an overwhelming cancer diagnosis? I've been there, and now I'm here to help you redefine your new normal.

I'm Sonya T. Cruel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years in the field. I've provided well-rounded care across healthcare, school, and faith-based settings — and my own experience as a three-time breast cancer survivor has taught me the kind of compassion, resilience, and hope that only comes from facing real challenges.

I’ve spent years sitting with people at their lowest—through addiction, crisis, and the kind of pain that can make life feel unmanageable. That work taught me something I bring into every session now: nobody is “too much,” and no story is too messy. These days, I’m more focused on slower, steadier work. Whether you’re worn down by depression, gripping through stress, or finally ready to be honest about drinking or using, I’ll meet you where you are with steadiness, honesty, and compassion. You don’t need the right words yet; we’ll figure it out together.
