Getting to know Sydney Gideon

I am a graduate of New York’s Columbia School of Social Work where I focused on health, mental health, and disabilities. I believe in using a strengths-based perspective to help clients identify and reach goals, while understanding the individual needs and desires and each client. Viewing the individual in the context of their environment allows me to gain a more holistic view of the client and the external stressors impacting their daily lives. I am passionate, kindhearted and empathetic to the daily struggles impacting individuals in today’s complex world. I integrate a wide range of treatment modalities including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. My clinical training includes work with diverse populations of all ages spanning a variety of struggles and strengths. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, adjustment disorders, trauma, and abuse. I cultivate a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment to empower clients to take an active role in their personal healing and growth while building a strong therapeutic relationship. I work to create a safe space for clients of all races, genders, cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, relationship dynamics, and religious/spiritual beliefs. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain. Using bilateral stimulation, we’re able to reduce the intensity and emotion associated with the traumatic memory by allowing normal healing to resume. EMDR is proven to help individuals recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms in addition to mood disorders and distressing life experiences. Sydney is EMDR Certified, completing EMDR basic training though EMDRIA’s (EMDR International Association) certified training program.
