Getting to know Sydney Kohrman

Sydney Kohrman, LSW, is a child, adolescent, and young adult therapist at Tides Mental Health in Chicago. She works with kids, teens, and young adults navigating trauma, anxiety, attachment challenges, ADHD, and behavior that families and schools are struggling to understand. With younger children she uses play-based approaches, including Theraplay®; with teens and young adults she draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and a relationship-focused approach. She also works directly with parents on responding to hard moments at home. Tides Mental Health provides integrated therapy and medication support under one roof.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Kids usually arrive here having already been described to a lot of adults — by teachers, by report cards, by whoever was in the room when things went sideways. I try to be the person who asks what the behavior is doing for them instead. Young adults often arrive having done that describing themselves, for years, without much changing. Either way, the question I start with is the same one. Parents are part of this, not on the sidelines — you'll get time with me to talk through what's happening at home and what to try next. Young adults come on their own terms, and we start wherever feels workable. Sessions are warm and low-pressure, and nothing gets pushed before it feels steady enough.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We start by getting the full picture — what's been happening, what's already been tried, and what you or your child wants to be different. For younger kids that early assessment happens partly through play; with teens and young adults, it's mostly conversation. From there we build the work around what's actually needed: felt safety first, then skills for regulating and for challenging the beliefs formed along the way. We revisit goals as we go, because what someone needs in month one is rarely what they need in month six. Every plan here is built for one specific person.
