About Sydney Kunz
MS, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
The most important factor in therapy is the therapeutic relationship.
I truly believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship and space. As a therapist, I provide my clients with a trusting, safe, and nonjudgmental space to explore the depths of their experiences and deepen their understanding of themselves.
My goal is to help you connect the dots of your experiences and understand how they impact your daily functioning, view of self, and the ways in which you cope. My hope is the more you begin to understand yourself and your experiences, the more confident you will become to live your life authentically to who you are. I’m here to meet you exactly where you are on your journey, and to walk along side you, encourage you, and facilitate the growth and change your wanting from therapy.

Prior to establishing Made For This Counseling, I had the privilege of working in several group practices serving adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of concerns and presenting issues.
Before entering my work in outpatient therapy, I was a member of a multidisciplinary team at a non-profit clinic for the uninsured in Milwaukee. In this setting, I provided counseling to patients and collaborated with medical professionals and community resources to ensure comprehensive care.

In our sessions, I prioritize a relational approach, which means I see therapy as a partnership rather than a one-sided "expert" dynamic. I aim to be approachable and down-to-earth, showing up in ways that reflect my genuine care for you, sometimes dressed comfortably or sharing a laugh together, but ultimately ready to listen deeply and provide you a calming space to process your thoughts and feelings. While I provide guidance and recommendations, such as book suggestions or coping skills, my role is to walk alongside you in this process, not dictate your path. This is about YOU! My focus is on fostering a connection where you feel fully seen and supported in your journey of healing and growth.

Outside of the office you’ll find me spending time with my family and friends, cooking up a new recipe, maybe reading a book (if I’m not in a slump), or taking a pilates class!
