Getting to know Sydney Shillinglaw

Life can become so busy that it is easy to lose sight of your own needs and well-being. I strive to provide a space where you can slow down, feel supported, and focus on the areas of your life that deserve attention and care. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Nebraska and a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families in both the community mental health and outpatient settings. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, and everyday stressors. My goal is to provide a collaborative and supportive environment where patients can develop insight, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Starting therapy can feel nerve-wracking, which is why I believe it is important to meet each person exactly where they are. I like to begin by getting to know who you are beyond the challenges that may be bringing you to therapy. You can expect me to provide a calm presence paired with genuine curiosity and encouragement. I believe that you are the expert on your own life. I value the therapeutic relationship and enjoy combining clinical skills with your unique experiences to foster meaningful growth and lasting change. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered while deepening your connection with yourself and building confidence in your ability to navigate life's challenges.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach to therapy is rooted in collaboration, curiosity, and understanding. We will begin by getting to know one another and building a strong foundation for the therapeutic relationship. Throughout our time together you can expect me to ask thoughtful questions that encourage deeper self-awareness and insight. Therapy can be a space to explore patterns, strengthen confidence, improve relationships, and work toward the goals that matter most to you. Together, we will identify areas that you would like to prioritize and create a path that feels meaningful and aligned with your unique needs and values.
