"My work with Sophia later provided inspiration for me to pursue a career in the human services. I am now finishing grad school, and am thankful for her kindness and wisdom. She helped to plant a seed that is now blossoming."

"Sophia is one of the most gifted practioners I know.  Her knowledge extends beyond the academic into the spiritual and intuitive.  As a collegue I have referred a number of clients to her.  Always with complete trust.  Sophia walks her clients gently through their journey toward self discovery and wholeness.  She has my highest recommendation."
- Alice Malloy, M.S.W., Plandome, NY

"I have known Sophia for some years. I have experienced her work through a variety of phases. All helpful and essential for full healing. Our relationship began with a simple question from Sophia: why are you here? My reply: to be happy and to be married. Both dreams have come true. I doubt I would have achieved this without Sophia's help. I now have a happy and healthy marriage with a beautiful 7 month old son! Sophia is eager to get to the core issues, yet turn things in a positive light. This is a terrific advantage for new clients. Many other practices will have you discussing the past for years! Sophia is ready to move forward: get happy now! Sophia has a unique and refreshing direction. She will focus you on being in charge of a flourishing and meaningful life. Who wouldn't benefit from this???"
- JoAnn Campisi-Setear, New York, NY
" Sophia gave me much guidance. She has terrific insight, she lead me to the truth about my personal misgivings. Sophia is a soul guide. She guides you through truth. She helped me realize that most of my negative perceptions were holding me back from living a more fulfilling life".
- John Setear, New York, NY

"I have been privileged to witness a significant part of Sophia's journey and watched her bloom and bloom.  One of the ways I observed her effectiveness was through a peer supervisory group which lasted for ten years in the 1990's.  Her attunement to her own needs inside and to the needs in the outside world have been impressive.  Sophia's background in sociology, social psychiatry and criminology, while adding psychotherapy, spirituality and interpersonal relationships, as seen in Imago, has provided a foundation for launching herself into a holistic approach in helping others.  She offers clients a wealth of experience, insight and skills for their personal growth".
- Gene Shelly, M. Div., Certified Imago Therapist, Certified Imago Workshop Presenter and Certified Imago Clinical Instructor, New York City

"The inspirational work of Sophia Wien has mentored my spirit to create true purpose and continue to go beyond my fate.   Working with her has enabled me to seek spiritual growth and remain steadfast to the evolving process to achieve 'inner freedom' and live my true self. I would encourage all who seek this inner freedom to get a taste of working with Sophia, and look forward to evolving 'beyond their fate' too."
- Paulina Rodolphe-Richards, M.A., Brooklyn, NY (Wife, mother, nurse-administrator)

"The gifts I received during my mentorship and life changing experiences with Sophia surpass limitations of time, space and lives.  My relationship with all creation has deepened and I now live from a perspective of consciousness.  The new way of being carries me daily as I am challenged and stretched in my position of leader and spiritual healer.  The work with Sophia has enabled me to beam light and understanding in the unhealthy layers in relationships, sytems and institutions, which impede growth for all.
I have rid myself and continue to rid myself of old behavior patterns, away from toxidity, towards light and freedom and right decisions, even in the midst of severe storms.
Most specially I found my true self and live out of it.
I am clear in where I am going, always, and know I go only towards the truth of who I am in my enlightment. Consequently I now embrace my spirituality anew every day, as I see and understand what Jesus meant when he said: 'See I make all things new' ".
