Introduction

My name is Sydney, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Chicago, Illinois working specifically with college students. I’ve spent the last five years as a therapist in both private practice and community mental health settings working with remarkable individuals who face mental health challenges, uncertainty, and loss. Throughout my experience as both an individual and as a therapist, I know how especially challenging and isolating it can feel to navigate college courses while also learning how to manage symptoms of mental health challenges. But you don’t have to do it alone. I created Ambedo Psychotherapy to offer partnership and therapeutic insight to help you to understand your current situation, pull from your unique strengths, and to grow into the next best version of yourself. In my experience, no mental health struggle looks exactly alike, so I incorporate an eclectic combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions tailored to help you meet your mental health goals.
