I believe therapy is most meaningful when we’re willing to look beneath the surface. I help clients explore the root causes of their struggles, not just manage symptoms, so we can better understand the patterns shaping their lives. tailor strategies to fit your specific needs and how you’re experiencing the issue. I welcome engaged clients who are ready to do the work, ask thoughtful questions and dive deeper. Therapy with me is a partnership as we work side by side to create meaningful, lasting change.

Sydney Foster

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

I specialize in working with individuals who are balancing demanding responsibilities whether in caregiving roles, professional environments, or complex family systems and feel overwhelmed trying to manage everything on their own. I also work with professionals in healthcare, education, and other helping roles who are experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, or role-related stress.

My clinical background includes leadership roles in hospital-based behavioral health programs, including intensive community treatment and outpatient mental health services. I bring that depth of experience into my private practice by offering structured, practical support that helps clients regain stability, clarity, and confidence during difficult periods.

Therapist

Virtual • New York, NY


I chose to become a therapist because I am amazed at the healing process through human connection. As complex beings, I am left in awe at the strength and resilience each individual possesses. I believe that despite difficulties faced, we have the power to rewrite our own story and live to fullest most authentic selves.

Our work together will not only aid you in overcoming any difficulties you may be facing but help understand patterns to develop tools that can be used in everyday life.


I aim to provide a healing space through compassion, support and acceptance. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, however, I often utilize tools from different modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and inner child healing.


I hope to have the opportunity to hear from you and help you achieve your greater self.

My therapeutic approach focuses on my belief that when it comes to an individual’s life, they are the expert. However, managing that alone can be cumbersome and stressful. As a therapist, I’m interested in collaborating with you to discover what parts of your life you hope to keep or perhaps enrich and what factors you want to change. I look to combine my experience with my clinical knowledge to aid clients in their journey to becoming their best selves.
