Mental Health Counselor
Hello! I’m Sydney Wilson, a counselor at our Shadyside clinic.
I have experience working with teens and adults in outpatient settings. I work on creating a safe and welcoming environment for individuals of different races, genders, sexuality, and other identities. My goal is to help clients work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and body dysmorphia to reach self-acceptance and confidence. I draw from DBT, mindfulness, and a person-centered approach. I believe in having a space where clients feel heard, valued, and accepted.
Together we will create a space where we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I use techniques drawn from mindfulness and expressive arts. I will help you build coping skills and healthy communication. The goal is to reach a point where you can work through life challenges, understand yourself, and connect with others.
I believe that seeking help and looking inwards towards yourself is such a brave thing to do. This process can be uncomfortable, but together we will face those challenges. Everyone has goodness in them and deserves self-love and acceptance. You matter in this world. I look forward to being a part of your journey and guiding you to reach your goals.
