Licensed Professional Counselor in Cincinnati

Kaleidoscopes use 2 mirrors to reflect light back to each other resulting in the beautiful patterns and vibrant colors we see when we look through it. With each turn of a kaleidoscope, you are seeing the same thing from a slightly different view with each one being beautiful in its own distinct way. This is often how I think about therapy. Therapists are mirrors reflecting your ideals, beliefs and values back to you which often result in powerful shifts in perspective. This shift in perspective allows clients to develop a deepened understanding of themselves and the world around them. Shifting our perspective and finding ways to: understand, make meaning of, and cope with life's many challenges is at the core of who we are and what we do. 

My name is Sydney and I am the owner of Kaleidoscope Counseling Services of Greater Cincinnati and a licensed professional counselor. I use trauma-informed care and person-centered therapy to build a strong therapeutic alliance centered on emotional attunement, safety, and trust. Together, we explore how core beliefs, behaviors, past experiences, and thoughts impact overall well-being. Using psychoeducation, I help clients understand their emotions, nervous system, and how these are affected by beliefs and experiences. We then work together to replace outdated coping mechanisms with new ones aligned with the clients identity and goals.
