Sidney Zhu, MA

Specialties:  Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Pain, Life Transitions, Trauma, Neurodivergent Support, and LGBTQIA+-affirming care

Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults

Sidney is a warm, curious therapist who is passionate about creating a space where clients feel safe, supported, and truly heard. She values collaboration and meets clients where they are, offering a non-judgmental environment to explore difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences at their own pace.

Sidney has experience working with children, adolescents, emerging adults, and adults, and welcomes clients of all ages and backgrounds. Guided by cultural humility, she is especially committed to supporting individuals who haven’t felt fully seen in mental health settings.

Believing that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process, Sidney tailors treatment to each client’s specific goals and needs. She takes an integrative approach, drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care. Her aim is to offer consistent support while empowering clients to take meaningful steps forward.

Sidney earned her Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Forensic Mental Health Leadership from Adler University. She is currently supervised by experienced clinicians on our team as she works toward independent licensure as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC).

In her free time, Sidney enjoys spending time with friends and family, painting, exploring new places, attending concerts, reading, watching movies, and hand-crocheting!
