A Safe Space to Discover Your Authentic Self

I'm glad you're here!

Do you ever feel scared, angry, depressed, or overwhelmed by everyday life? You don't have to carry that alone.
 
Together, we will make sense of what you're feeling, strengthen your ability to manage anxiety, build self-esteem and confidence, and regulate your most intense emotions. And when old patterns keep leading you into circles, we will work toward finding new roads—ones that move you forward with clarity and steadiness.

My furry co-therapist Winnie and I are here to support you every step of the way.

Sophie Zbesko, LCSW

Somatic Therapist

My practice is centered on the everyday challenges you encounter, helping you to navigate these struggles with confidence and authenticity.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who specializes in animal-assisted and somatic-based therapy. My approach is grounded in honesty, curiosity, and deep respect for each person's inner work. I work relationally, paying close attention to the patterns, emotions, and experiences that shape how you move through your life and relationships. Together, we look beneath the surface—not just to reduce symptoms, but to understand the deeper roots of what you are carrying.

Winnie from New Roads Therapy Denver, Certified Therapy Dog

Meet Winnie,
Certified Therapy Dog

My practice focuses on unconditional love, making you feel calm and safe.  

My name is Winnie, and I have been a certified therapy dog since 2024. My job is to calm you, charm you, and provide a safe space where you can be yourself without judgment! I am a 3-year-old mutt mixed with Border Collie, Chow Chow, and Shar Pei. I am super friendly and love being pet while looking deeply into your eyes.  My favorite activities include chasing squirrels and playing with my soccer ball. I've been told I'm the perfect dog to show you the love you deserve.

Anxiety

Anxiety can feel like a constant cycle of worry and overthinking. Together, we'll identify triggers, explore patterns of avoidance, and build practical tools to help you feel calmer and more in control.
 

Identity

Questions around identity can feel confusing or overwhelming at times. Together, we'll create space to explore who you are, what matters most to you, and how to live more authentically.

Depression can make everyday life feel heavy and isolating. Together, we'll explore what you're experiencing, strengthen supportive coping skills, and work toward reconnecting with hope and meaning.
 

Self-Esteem

Struggles with self-esteem can affect how you see yourself and the choices you make. Together, we'll explore the beliefs that shape your self-worth and work toward building confidence and self-compassion.
 

Life Transitions

Life transitions can bring uncertainty, stress, and a sense of being ungrounded. Together, we'll process the changes you're facing and develop stategies to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Neurodivergence

Being neurodivergent can bring both strengths and challenges in a world that isn't always designed with your needs in mind. Together, we'll explore how your brain works and develop strategies that support your daily life and well-being.

Virtual Therapy

THERAPY FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME

I get it—sometimes the idea of leaving home feels overwhelming, or you just want a comfortable space to process your feelings. Virtual therapy offers a flexible, effective option for teens, young adults, and anyone who prefers connecting from home.
