Adolescents/Children, Couples, Families, and Individuals 

Group Counseling/Therapy, Individual Counseling/Therapy, Psychoeducational Workshops, Telehealth 

We are committed to providing comprehensive mental health care to address a variety of needs throughout a woman’s lifespan. We help clients heal from anxiety, depression, dysphoria, trauma/stressors, and more, teaching them constructive coping skills and healthy thinking to promote healing and improve well-being. We help clients identify patterns in their lives that may contribute to struggles and work on developing strategies for making healthier choices. We focus on treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. We combine conventional and non-conventional therapies to treat mental health issues and aim to address the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to mental health: mental, physical, emotional, interpersonal, and spiritual.

Our specializations are women’s mental health, integrative mental health (IMH), and multicultural counseling/therapy. We are inclusive, affirming, culturally competent, multicultural mental health providers for all women. We welcome and serve cisgender, transgender, intersex, non-binary, and woman/feminine identities and all ethnic, cultural, racial, and religious communities. We are qualified, culturally competent, and culturally sensitive, and have lived experience in the women, POC, veteran, Hispanic/LatinX & LGBTQIA2S+ communities. We offer in-office and telehealth appointments, and we are bilingual (English/Spanish). As a teaching practice, we offer site supervision for graduate students and clinical supervision for provisionally licensed clinicians.

Xiomara A. Sosa

Hi, my name is Xiomara A. Sosa. I am the owner and Clinical Director of Summerville Women’s Mental Health Services.

I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor-Candidate. I am supervised by Dr. Latrice Love, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor.

I am Latina, born and raised in the Bronx, New York City, NY.

I am a first-generation college graduate and a very proud daughter of immigrants from Puerto Rico (a territory of the US) and the Dominican Republic.

When I am not working with the people I serve inside and outside of my communities, you can find me working on my nonprofit organization, The X-Studio: A Mental Health Cooperative, or on my podcast, The X-Podcast: Real Conversations About Mental Health.

Education

I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from Phoenix University and my Master of Science Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Forensic Counseling from Walden University, both CACREP-accredited universities.

I have been serving clients since 2012, working in case management and other capacities, including counseling/therapy. My work has been consistently serving women and all other underrepresented communities, including communities of color, the LGBTQIA2S+ community, and the veteran community. The bulk of my work has been in anxiety, depression, dysphoria, and trauma/stressor-related disorders, and other specialty areas and issues.

My specialization is women’s mental health, integrative mental health (IMH), and multicultural counseling/therapy. My foundation is in cultural competency and social change advocacy. I focus on combining evidence-based treatment with alternative therapies. My focal point is on treating the whole person, not just the symptoms of a particular illness or concern. That includes mental health, physical health, emotional well-being, interpersonal relationships, and spiritual needs. I help clients identify patterns in their lives that may contribute to their struggles and work on developing strategies for making healthier choices. I am also a 9/11 survivor and a proud United States Air Force and Army veteran. You can read my full bio on my website at www.swmhs.net
