About
At The Wellspring, therapy is more than problem-solving — it’s a process of renewal.
Founded by Dr. Sophia Nam, a licensed psychologist with international experience, The Wellspring offers evidence-based therapy and psychological assessment for adults, couples, and professionals.
Our approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care to help clients move from survival mode toward sustainable growth and balance.
