Sydney McAdams - Resident in Counseling

Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and figure out what might actually help.

I enjoy working with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, OCD, relationship concerns, emotional regulation, life transitions, and neurodivergence. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is an important part of meaningful change, and I try to create a space where you can be honest, even when what you’re thinking or feeling is difficult to talk about.

My approach is collaborative, relational, and flexible. Depending on what you need, that might mean learning practical tools, challenging patterns that are keeping you stuck, building more tolerance for uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, or taking time to understand where certain reactions come from.

I draw from ACT, CBT, DBT, Exposure and Response Prevention, attachment-based approaches, IFS-informed work, and trauma-informed care. More than anything, I want therapy to feel like a space where you can feel understood while also working toward meaningful change. If any of this feels familiar, I’d love to hear from you and see if we might be a good fit.
