About

The Wellspring

At The Wellspring, therapy is more than problem-solving — it’s a process of renewal.

Founded by Dr. Sophia Nam, the mental health center offers premier psychological services rooted in nearly two decades of international experience. We provide comprehensive therapy and neuropsychological assessments for clients from school-age children through adulthood.

We specialize in moving clients from “survival mode” toward sustainable growth. By integrating trauma-informed, evidence-based practices, and neurodiversity-affirming care, we provide the tools necessary for lasting well-being and balance.

Life often asks us to present strength even when our inner world feels unbalanced, unseen, or misunderstood. Too many children and adults move through life having to look capable and composed on the outside while quietly struggling beneath the surface. At The Wellspring, our work helps people of all ages bridge this gap through thoughtful neuropsychological assessment and evidence-based therapy. At every step, individuals and families will come to understand the patterns beneath the surface and be supported in taking mindful steps toward sustainable change.
