Sydney Burkhardt Therapy

Reaching out for help and support is one of the bravest steps we can make. Sometimes we know exactly where the healing needs to happen, and other times we just feel "stuck". Making the decision to talk with someone on the outside is a courageous act. It is both moving towards the reauthoring of your life, and the healing that takes place when we are in healthy connection with others. Therapy is a safe space to explore our inner world, obstacles and patterns holding us back from achieving goals, and can help clarify beliefs we have about ourselves and our relationships. It is a place to make what is hidden and concealed visible, so that we can take ownership of our story and create the life we desire.

​

I offer a safe and accepting space for individuals, families, and couples. I specialize in helping clients with: 

​

• Past Trauma Experience

• Relationship Challenges

• Anxiety

• Depression

• ADHD

• Women's Health Concerns (Life Transitions, Body/Health Challenges)

• Parenting Challenges

​

Whether you’re an adolescent navigating the complexities of growing up, a family weathering a storm, or someone seeking solace, your story matters. Our work together will honor your unique context, vulnerabilities, and strengths. This often looks like: 

​

• Increasing emotional awareness

• Processing unresolved trauma

• Healing attachment wounds

• Challenging unhelpful thoughts and patterns

• Strengthening relationship bonds

​

I provide room for clients to be their authentic selves where therapy is guided by the needs of the individual, family, or couple. To create this therapeutic space, I utilize a client-centered, trauma-informed, evidence-based approach. Supportive treatment and interventions are tailored to each client, which can include:

​​

• Emotionally Focused Therapy/Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy Interventions (EFT/EFIT)

• Solution Focused Brief Therapy Interventions

• Expressive Art Therapy

• Psychoeducation

• Social Skills Techniques

• Mindfulness-Based Practices

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) 

• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

• Trauma Informed Care

• Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy and Learning (EFPL)

• EMDR

​

One of the biggest predictors of therapeutic success is the relationship between the therapist and the client. It is with this in mind that I make it a priority to build a strong client-therapist relationship that supports clients in feeling safe, heard, validated, and hopeful for the future.
