Getting to know Sydney Vix

I specialize in supportive work with individuals experiencing critical mental health concerns, PTSD, life stressors, and substance use challenges, including co-occurring disorders and high-risk behaviors. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can address what’s happening right now while building skills for long-term stability and growth. I practice from a trauma-informed lens and thoughtfully consider cultural identity, systemic stressors, and lived experience in our work together. I am committed to affirming care that supports body positivity self-acceptance, and empowered personal narratives. My approach is person-centered and integrative, drawing from CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing. Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and grounded in respect — focused on helping you move toward meaningful, sustainable change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I specialize in critical mental health concerns, chronic diagnoses, substance misuse, high-risk behaviors, & daily stressors! My focus includes PTSD, complex PTSD, schizoaffective disorders, OCD, OCPD, bi-polar, psychosis, anxiety/depression, compacted trauma, criminal justice impacted, substance misuse, and suicidality. My main priority within a session is YOU & my therapeutic practice is based on your directive with my full support and collaboration. Together we can implement a treatment plan that best suits your current needs, whether that be based in solutions, goals, or symptom management. My couch is open & am I ready to listen!

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Typical sessions range between 45-60 minutes each, with options for in-person or virtual, and include therapeutic approaches that best fit your situation. I don't like to box myself in and use only 1 or 2 modalities for treatment. I bring my lived experience, 8 + years of direct client care, education, and understanding of cultural climate every time we meet.
