Sophia Reyna

Lived experience with mental challenges, including diagnoses of Major Depressive Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Borderline Personality Disorder, beginning at age fourteen. Participated in both inpatient and outpatient treatment programs, where I developed coping strategies for emotional regulation, addictive behaviors, and overall mental wellbeing. Being on this journey has not only been severely difficult, it has allowed me to empathize with others and deeply connect with people who often feel misunderstood and helpless.

I am a strong believer in using music and dance to help cope with mental health challenges. With a background in music and dance and musical theatre, I enjoy connecting with others who share a love for the arts. I like to incorporate music or dancing whenever possible, as I believe they can be powerful tools for emotional expression and well-being.
