“Sidney Diamond was extremely helpful in our son's OCD treatment. Our son always looked forward to his sessions with her and came out feeling very satisfied. She was also pro-active on keeping us informed, as our son is a minor. She made the sessions personable and gained our son's trust where he felt comfortable confiding in her. We highly recommend Sidney Diamond! ”

“Sidney is wonderful. She provides an nonjudgmental space to work through problems and gives insightful suggestions on how to work through stressful times. She is very easy to talk to and easily reachable through email. She is compassionate and does not force “solutions” to “fix” a problem but instead works with you to find out the root cause. She’s a great choice especially if you’re a young adult going through life transitions. ”

Getting to know Sidney Diamond
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
Imagine a space where, for an hour each week, it's all about you-your thoughts, your feelings, your story. Whether you need a place to process, vent, or just be, therapy is your time to show up exactly as you are. Exploring relationships with yourself and others, building emotional awareness, and navigating the complexities of life will help you move through the world with more confidence, clarity, and ease. Through helping children, teens, and adults, specializing in anxiety, relationship challenges, complex family dynamics, job stress, OCD, neurodivergence, and childhood trauma, we create space for healing, growth, and lasting change.
With a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University, I combine CBT, person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and positive psychology to help you develop tools to navigate challenges with confidence, communicate your needs without guilt, and build relationships that feel authentic. My approach is compassionate and relatable, blending therapeutic techniques with a real understanding of today's world.
Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous act of self-care, and I'm here to help you embrace that journey. Together, we can create a life that feels more aligned, fulfilling, and true to who you are. You deserve to heal, grow, and thrive-let's take that step together.
Sidney Diamond has a Master’s in Counseling from Fordham University. Sidney is a Mental Health Counselor with a Limited Permit, MHC-LP P129640 at Cerebral. Supervised by Lindsay Hylek, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW 096180.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I chose this field to support children, teens, and young adults in discovering who they are and navigating life's challenges. My approach is compassionate and non-judgemental, focusing on building self-esteem, improving relationships, and finding direction. Whether through play therapy with young children, exploring identity with teens, or guiding young adults into "the real world," I am here to help you grow and thrive. My goal is to create a safe space where you can openly express yourself, explore your emotions, and develop the skills to overcome any obstacles in your journey.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I am passionate about working with clients ranging from three years old up to around thirty years old. I am particularly interested in supporting individuals through life transitions, social lives, relationships, family dynamics, and building confidence.
For children, I am drawn to incorporating play therapy, as it is a highly effective way to engage and support them. With teenagers, I am eager to address academic challenges and assist in identity formation. For young adults, I look forward to exploring careers, relationships, and the transition into "the real world," helping them find their purpose within it.
