Ciandra Syms

Welcome!

I have a decade of clinical experience supporting adults in reaching their health and wellness goals. I completed a bachelor's degree in psychology, followed by a bachelor's of social work at the University of Windsor. I then completed a Master's in Social Work at Wayne State University and has spent my career focusing on supporting individuals in meeting their mental health and emotional wellbeing needs, especially within the realms of grief and trauma. I’m currently offering biweekly sessions on weekends, as well as weekly sessions on Friday afternoons to support you in meeting your treatment goals.

I work diligently to establish a warm and welcoming rapport with clients to support them through self-growth in cases of life changes, relationship issues, self-care, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Using a variety of counseling techniques, including CBT, DBT-informed care, and motivational interviewing, I cater services to clients based on their individual needs and goals for wellness-based treatment. I am certified in EMDR and utilize evidence-based practices to best support clients in achieving their therapeutic goals to be reach their fullest potential! I

During your first session, I will guide you through history-taking, exploring areas for treatment from your past and present experiences, and exploring what your own hopes are for pursing therapy while collaboratively developing a treatment plan together so that we both know what we are working towards during our time together. You will guide your treatment goals and we will explore together the best avenues to help you achieve them.
