Sydney Rose(She/they)

Sydney is a clinically trained, licensed social worker in New York, New York. She's been learning and teaching about the way that our minds and bodies respond to stress and trauma for over a decade. She entered the world of mental health as a social worker and a person who’d been through mental health struggles. She was passionate about the idea that people receiving mental health services should be empowered in their experiences with the mental health system.

Sydney’s therapy style is relaxed, responsive, curious, affirming, and enthusiastically imperfect. Her clients have many different kinds of diagnosis’s (or none at all). They’re seeking a trustworthy confidant in their pursuit of emotional growth. Someone who can listen deeply enough to understand their fears, dreams, goals, strengths and experiences… and help them get from burnout and survival mode into a connected, authentic meaningful life.

Her clients often reach out at times in their lives when their sense of identity and self confidence has been challenged. They feel stuck and overwhelmed, like they can’t see how to get through the pain and the muck to the other side. They say it feels good to have someone who just “gets it.” Someone who can help them see themselves more clearly, and who’s compassionate, while also being direct.

She knows that she'll never understand your experiences as well as you do, so she aims to collaborate. She loves working to make the research and tools that are available to her as a clinician accessible to her clients in practical ways. She believes that every client shows bravery just by showing up to therapy each week.
