“My 6 year old son had his first session with Sydney this past weekend. She was kind, receptive, and a great listener. My son was neverous at first, but by the end of the session, he had slowly started to open up to her. I looked forward to seeing what happens as he proceeds with his session. ”

Getting to know Sydney Claussell

I am passionate about building connections with clients and creating a comfortable, safe space for self-exploration. I am here to assist you in learning about yourself, recognizing your strengths, and using them to enhance your overall wellbeing and life satisfaction. Together, we’ll delve into the three C’s of wellbeing: Connection, Creation, and Community. I embrace a person-centered, humanistic approach to Art Therapy, which means you have control of the therapeutic process. I am a Creative Arts Therapist with a Master’s in Clinical Art Therapy and Counseling from Long Island University. With a person-centered approach, you choose the level of art you’d like to engage in. Art therapy is for everyone, regardless of artistic ability, so don’t worry if you think you’re not an artist—you can still reap its benefits! My work can also incorporate narrative therapy, movement and somatic techniques, mindfulness, meditation, or types of talk therapy like cognitive behavioral therapy, all enriched by my empathetic and intuitive abilities. But remember, the level of engagement in any of these areas is up to you! Let’s embark on a journey of self-discovery, self-compassion, and living a life filled with love!

Sydnee was wonderful in being helpful to my 10 year old daughter who is going through some anxiety. Sydnee listened intently and even offered her art therapy services, which matched my daughter perfectly. I’m so glad to have found her!
