Maria-Sofia Paco, LMT, MA Psyc, LMFTA

I‘m a Marriage and Family Therapist, diversified licensed medical massage therapist, and founder of Transformative Therapeutics NW. I specialize in systemic therapy and trauma care by incorporating somatic therapy with counterstrain theories in a holistic approach to improve my patient’s quality of life through mental health, healing touch, self-empowerment, and holistic wellness. I work with children, adults, and the elderly struggling with learning disabilities, complex orthopedic, muscular and non-musculoskeletal acute and chronic pain, in addition to mental and emotional challenges due to their traumatic experiences. My aim is to help those experiencing chaos and struggle find their center and create new possibilities in their lives—mentally, physically, and spiritually.
