About Sofia
Hello! My name is Sofia C. Arras, and I am a dedicated mental health nurse practitioner with extensive experience across various age groups, from children to seniors. I specialize in treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, OCD, eating disorders, and addiction.
I have worked in numerous healthcare settings, providing care in areas like med-surg, neurology, geriatrics, and rehab. My experience includes both general and mental health assessments, ensuring comprehensive care for all my patients. I am well-versed in management and have effectively administered vaccinations and provided support during the challenging COVID-19 pandemic.
As part of my holistic approach, I emphasize patient education on health promotion, disease management, recovery, and medication. Open communication with my patients is key, and I strive to create a safe and supportive environment for everyone.
In addition to my clinical work, I have served as a nursing professor, teaching mental health, fundamentals of nursing, and advanced health practices at several universities. This experience allows me to stay current with best practices and continually improve the quality of care I provide.
I am passionate about helping my patients achieve their best mental and physical health. Let’s work together to reach your wellness goals.

Through therapy, education, and appropriate treatment strategies, I aim to empower clients to achieve improved mental wellness.
