Getting to know Saudia Sinclair

From a young age, I was drawn to understanding people. My mother often described me as precocious, noticing early on my natural ability to connect with others. While other children gravitated toward toys, I found myself most engaged in conversations—listening, asking questions, and offering comfort. As I grew older, I became the person family members sought out for clarity, support, or simply a compassionate ear. Those early experiences shaped my belief that I was meant to help others navigate life’s challenges. My academic path began with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, where I developed a deeper appreciation for the complexity of human behavior and the social systems that influence our lives. This foundation led me to pursue a Master’s in Social Work, where I came to understand the profound responsibility and privilege of the therapeutic relationship. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership—one grounded in trust, empathy, and the shared goal of helping individuals understand, cope with, and ultimately grow through their experiences. For the past 14 years, I have worked as an Emergency Department social worker in New York City. This role has allowed me to support individuals facing acute medical, mental health, and social crises. I have facilitated bereavement groups, assisted clients navigating complex social service systems, and supported survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. These experiences have reinforced my belief in the resilience that exists within every person, even when it feels buried beneath trauma or hardship.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In my therapeutic work, I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered. I am especially committed to addressing the stigma surrounding mental health in Black and Brown communities by approaching therapy through collaboration, education, and cultural humility. My clinical approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, interpersonal therapy, and psychoeducation to support individuals coping with depression, anxiety, and trauma.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

One of my favorite writers, Maya Angelou, expressed a sentiment that deeply resonates with my purpose as a therapist: “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” My work is rooted in creating a holding environment where individuals can share their stories, unburden themselves, gain insight, and discover more adaptive ways to move through the world.
