Creative Healing

I'm Sydney Haber and I help teens learn the skills to accept themselves and redefine their relationship with their bodies. If you're struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and self-criticism, I am here to guide you towards embracing your true light and shining brightly.

Credentials and Expertise

With a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Immaculate University and extensive work experience in an inpatient eating disorder facility, I am well-versed in supporting clients who struggle with restrictive eating, binging, purging, and dysphoria related to their appearance.

Recovery from Trauma and the Path to Creativity

I have a special interest in working with teens who have experienced trauma or are seeking a creative path towards healing. Whether through art or movement, I incorporate these modalities when they are helpful or motivating for clients. I have a special interest in supporting teens navigating difficult family dynamics or coping with the separation and divorce of caregivers. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a method that quickly helps with anxiety, depression, panic, grief, and trauma. ART is known for fast results, often in just a few sessions.

Building Trust and Inspiring Change

With years of experience as a mental health technician on inpatient units at psychiatric hospitals, I have developed skills to establish trust and rapport with individuals who may initially feel ambivalent about therapy or changing their behaviors. I am proficient in motivational interviewing and adept at increasing clients' desire to change problematic behaviors. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to effectively work with high-risk, self-harming, and suicidal teens.

Specialized Training for OCD: Transforming Teen Lives

With specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (EXRP), I am equipped to work with teens struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Together, we'll address the underlying factors contributing to OCD symptoms, providing you with the tools to reclaim control over your life.

Beyond the Therapy Room

When I'm not working with clients, I enjoy walking and going on hikes with my dog and family, immersing myself in the beauty of nature. These moments allow me to recharge and connect with the world around me.
