Made For This Counseling

Therapy in Shorewood, Wisconsin and Virtually Statewide

At Made For This Counseling, we offer a warm and grounded space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Therapy is a place to explore what’s beneath the surface and begin healing from the inside out. We look at how your experiences, environment, and development all shape the way stress and pain show up in your life. Maybe it’s through overthinking, people-pleasing, or tension in your shoulders.

However it appears, it’s all connected—and it all matters.

Meet Sydney, LPC

I’m an anxiety and trauma therapist that specializes in changing and understanding people-pleasing and perfectionistic tendencies, healing from emotionally and psychologically abusive relationships, and processing unresolved childhood trauma and impactful family dynamics.

As a therapist, I approach my therapy sessions with consistent empathy and warmth because you deserve a space solely focused on you—free of judgment, always. My goal is to create a relaxed and comfortable environment where your thoughts and feelings are welcomed and valued.

I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet you and your specific needs. I utilize different treatment modalities and offer brainspotting therapy to provide holistic care for my clients. My goal is to help you explore your experiences on a deeper level, understand and gain insight into the core beliefs that have shaped your life, build confidence and feel connected to your most authentic self.

If this sounds like you- I’m here to help!

  • you’re looking to understand your patterns and behaviors and gain insight into where they stem from

  • you have difficulty advocating for yourself and communicating your needs, how you feel, or your opinions

  • it’s easy for you to know what others need but difficult to identify what YOU need

  • you take on others emotions and feel a sense of responsibility for them

  • self-criticism, negative thoughts, and low-self worth hold you back

  • conflict scares you and you do anything to avoid it

  • you’re easily adaptable, like a chameleon, changing based on the situation or relationship

  • you care for others but also care a lot about what they think of you

  • you feel anxious within your relationships

    “Sydney is amazing. She is someone who I have been comfortable opening up with from day one. She is warm and engaging. She has empathy and has been able to provide direction, tools, and techniques to help work through different things. She challenges in a way that is beneficial to me and needs to be done to better myself but is also always so kind about it and careful not to push too far. She is someone I would recommend to anyone.”

    “Sydney is the best therapist I've ever known! I work in behavioral health, and Sydney is by far the most attentive, understanding and professional therapist I've ever been with. She is well-versed in the world of CBT and DBT and uses these strategies throughout her therapy. She also understands the need for a large supportive treatment network for her clients and will connect you with additional support groups or treatment options if needed.”
