Reprocessing Psychotherapy

Hi, welcome to my private practice! My name is Sydnee, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW 108637), in Los Angeles, CA. I am versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT). I have also been trained by the EMDR International Association as an EMDR Trained Therapist. I received my Master's degree from the University of Southern California and I have worked with a variety of populations. My introduction into the field was when I worked with foster youth in congregate care. Here I witnessed traumatized children inside of a broken system who felt like there wasn't a way out. This experience ignited my passion for trauma work because all too often traumatic life experiences completely alter the course of a person's life. I've learned with the right clinical tools and expertise those individuals can change their lives where they are no longer driven by their traumas but are able to move through their trauma towards a fulfilling life. Throughout my career I have worked with both children and adults in multiple settings. I have worked in general Outpatient programs, I have worked in Partial Hospitalization Programs and Intensive Outpatient Programs specializing in Eating Disorders. I currently work for UCLA Lynda and Stewart Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital as a Clinical Therapist in the Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs. I have also worked in UCLA's Perinatal Intensive Outpatient program. Additionally, I am the Trauma-Informed Care Trainer for UCLA's Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs and I am an Adjunct Professor at Pepperdine University where I teach the course Trauma in Diverse Populations. As a therapist I strive to create a warm and inviting space where we work together to achieve your goals in treatment. I am excited to meet you, and I look forward to working together soon.
