Sophia Barringhaus Cirone
M.A, LPC-MHSP, NCC
I’m Sophia “Barringhaus” Cirone, a therapist, wife, dog mama, plant-attempt-to-keep-aliver (what is wrong with my fig?), thrift store enthusiast, and lover of old houses
I am passionate about working with adults who feel like they have been labeled as one thing and set aside. Whether that be “not good enough”, “too much”, “not capable”, my hope is to create a space where my clients can shed those beliefs put unto them, and explore who they were before hard things happened. I believe that there is nothing to “fix” in anyone, how we show up in the world makes perfect sense for where we have been.
I work extensively with people who:
- Have experienced trauma, things that happened to them that should never have.
- Find romantic relationships and feeling safe in them difficult.
- Couples feeling stuck in their same patterns and communication.
- People who are experiencing challenging life transitions (college, parenthood, divorce, empty-nesting).
- Those who have family dynamics that leave them feeling hurt.
Washington, MO is my hometown, and after 18 years away, I’ve returned to these familiar streets. My career commenced in Nashville, TN, where I worked as a therapist in drug and alcohol rehabilitation before finding my niche in private practice. I hold a Master of Arts Degree, specializing in Clinical Mental Health from Trevecca University. I am licensed as a Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP) in both Tennessee and Missouri.
I’ve honed my skills through EMDR & BSP training, along with training in EFT for couples. My therapeutic approach incorporates an array of modalities including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Parts work, tailored to the unique needs of each individual I have the privilege to work with.

M.A., Masters Level Counselor
I strive to create a safe and empathetic space for my clients while utilizing an individualized approach…because as humans with unique experiences, we all deserve to be seen and known for who we are. I seek to deeply and compassionately understand my clients and their story, then work together to accomplish their goals.
Clients often come to me when they’re searching for a change in their life. Whether it be that they’re tired of feeling “down,” they’ve had enough of the bombarding, negative thoughts circulating around in their head, they’re ready to work through the past instead of it defining the present, or something else…my clients want resolution. I guide my clients through the therapeutic process of exploration by helping them gain a deeper understanding of where their “problem” is originating from, how it has reached the present, and where to go next in order to heal. Together, we will navigate the complexities of trauma, anxiety, depression, relational conflict, and internal stress to overcome the challenges that are keeping you from fully living your life.
I work extensively with people who:
- Can’t seem to shake their anxiousness, stress, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, or hopelessness
- Have experienced trauma in their childhood (or adulthood) and are unsure how to heal from the past
- Experience repeated stress and conflict in relationships and are unsure why
- Feel lost or stuck with who they are or where they’re at in their life
- Struggle to understand themselves or communicate their feelings
- Want to get to the root of their struggles so that they can create long-lasting change
