Sydney Newman

As an outpatient therapist, I use trauma-informed, patient-centered, and strengths-based approaches to help adolescents, adults, and parents. My specialties include anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation challenges, executive functioning difficulties, self-esteem concerns, women's issues, parenting stress, and major life transitions when you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain.

Together, we build self-awareness, develop effective coping skills, process difficult experiences, strengthen relationships, and help you move toward feeling more grounded, confident, and empowered in your life.

Our work together happens in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment, as I believe in creating a compassionate, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic relationship where every person feels seen, heard, and valued. This allows me to be a trusted and understanding partner in your healing journey, meeting you where you are and supporting you as you work toward your goals. I look forward to helping you build insight and create meaningful change in your life through our work.

Before becoming a therapist, my path began with supporting adolescents with diverse learning, emotional, and behavioral needs in educational settings. These experiences deepened my commitment to providing compassionate and individualized care that recognizes each person's unique story and strengths. I bring this background in mental health counseling and special education to each session, creating a space where patients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their growth.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, practicing yoga, and cooking. I value opportunities to slow down, stay present, and find balance through activities that support creativity, mindfulness, and connection.
