Who is Shulamit Sofia?
Shulamit Sofia is a modern elder with many decades of therapeutic experience in supporting others. She has a BA in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, a Master’s in clinical social work from Columbia University, and did post graduate training with The National Institute of Mental Health in personality development and community consultation. A spiritual seeker since childhood, she has also received training in meditation and mystical practices.
Initially, her work as a social worker was focused on helping people feel better in challenging situations. Towards this end, she founded two nonprofit organizations designed to help children have better lives. The first, Parents Place, was designed to help young families learn about child development in order to raise healthier children. The second, Caring for Children, aimed to support and solace youngsters experiencing extremely difficult life circumstances. The agency was forced to close because of the pandemic. This enabled Shulamit Sofia to return to writing.
Her first book, Climbing the Sacred Ladder: Your Path to Love, Joy, Peace, and Purpose, received acclaim from nationally recognized spiritual leaders of all religious denominations. Her second book, From Oy to Joy: A Soul Journey to Making the Best of Your Life for the Rest of Your Life, reflects her own journey and offers guidance to support those dealing with the challenges of aging.
Her academic studies, clinical experience, and spiritual training have prepared her to support and guide those facing internal and external obstacles in their journey through life. She has learned many lessons along the way, which are now available to you to learn as successful strategies for dealing with life’s difficulties.
