Sydney Benton

Hi, I’m Sydney! I’m a therapist with a Master’s degree in Social Work, and I specialize in helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, women’s issues, and substance use. I work with adults (ages 18 and older).

My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment or criticism. I believe the heart of therapy lies in the relationship we build together, so I take the time to get to know you and help you feel comfortable as we work toward healing and growth.

My approach is collaborative and flexible as I want you to feel empowered to guide our sessions and focus on what feels most important to you. I believe that everything you need to heal and grow is already within you, and therapy can help uncover that inner strength and a sense of peace.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to support you in working through whatever challenges or distress you’re facing, always tailoring our work to what fits you best.

In our first session, we will take things at your pace. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can start to share what’s been going on and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy. I use a trauma-informed approach, and my work centers around radical acceptance, self-compassion, and building distress tolerance skills.

We’ll spend some time getting to know each other and laying the groundwork for our work together, so you can start feeling supported and understood from the very beginning.
