Getting to know Sydney Shaevel

The therapeutic relationship is one that I hold close to my heart, as it is a piece of the puzzle that allowed me to flourish into my true self. I know firsthand what it is like to struggle and feel as though the obstacles ahead appear to be near impossible, whether big or small. While in the moment they may seem insurmountable, truly, these experiences become the seeds of transformation and the foundation for stepping into our greatest possibilities in life. I invite you to explore your struggles collaboratively in a non-judgmental and safe space to cultivate greater self-acceptance, empowerment, and strength as you reclaim your inner knowing. I’m looking forward to supporting you as you step into new possibilities in this healing and transformative journey. My approach My approach to therapy is tailored to the unique and sacred personal stories of every client, and is based primarily in person-centered, attachment, narrative, and psychodynamic modalities. I consider my approach to be eclectic, as therapy is never a “one size fits all.” I provide unconditional, genuine, and empathetic support to help my clients understand their experience, cultivate greater inner resources and coping skills, and heal from past experiences and pain. By using this integrative methodology, I allow clients to explore where the difficulties in their lives have stemmed from, what significant events have occurred, and how this has impacted their lives today. This provides a roadmap for healing and creating a new way of being and relating to our experiences. My goal is to help you confront the past to find inner peace, strength, and the ability to form healthy, meaningful relationships. I value and believe that gaining tools to cope with the stress of everyday life allows us to manifest and foster a more peaceful and successful way of living.
