Sydney James, LCSW

My clients describe me as:

Warm, inviting, direct, & an active listener who has a knack for leading you to reflections that move the therapeutic process and your goals forward.

Something to know about my approach is:

Regardless of the therapy strategy we engage in (I will always be transparent and explain what it is and how it will help!) my approach will always include pulling out the strengths you already have to help you adjust to lifes inevitable transitions.

Together, we will:

Dive into your experiences and the source(s) of your distress. Next, we will collaborate on your goals together because it’s important that you have a voice in your care! We'll begin by easing your distress and empowering you with tools to succeed.

I specialize in working with people who:

Want to build advanced communication skills, break through attachment issues, or resolve stress, anxiety, or trauma. By the end of our time together, you will have learned the tools to transform your life and live your truth unapologetically.

I became a therapist because:

I wanted to become the resource I did not have access to when I was learning to navigate tricky life transitions.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

There is no need to drive or figure out parking! Sessions are offered online and can be done from your cozy home or anywhere you have privacy.
