Who We Are
Hi there! I’m Sydney, a Nashville based therapist dedicated to helping clients navigate the challenges of OCD, Anxiety, Phobias, Panic Disorder, religious trauma, and identity exploration.
Deeper Well Counseling exists to empower you to build lasting resilience and meaningful change using evidence-based approaches like Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)!
My experience spans acute psychiatric care (inpatient/IOP), school-based social work, management of outpatient group clinics, and individual therapy.
As a queer identifying clinician, I am affirming of all LGBTQIA+ folks and am passionate about providing care to our often underserved community.
Outside of the office, I enjoy hiking with my dog, reading, drinking iced lattes, cross-stitching, and trying to keep my plants alive.
OCD & Anxiety
Are you feeling stuck in your compulsions and overwhelmed with intrusive thoughts? Welcome! You have found a safe place to explore, grow, and heal.
We are passionate about working with those experiencing OCD, Anxiety, Phobias, Panic Disorder, and Trauma-Related Distress and Dysfunction. We work to create meaningful and sustainable change both inside and outside of the therapy office.
Walking alongside clients as they discover their own resiliency and “why” for embracing discomfort in a safe and supportive environment is our goal.
OCD & Anxiety can feel like they control your life, keeping you stuck and chained from who and what you love the most! Our goal is to give you the tools to build bravery and resilience in the face of fear, and back to living the life you want and so truly deserve!
We will compassionately work to build up your tolerance and resilience to those scary thoughts and images so that you can build a fulfilling and joy-filled life!
Religious Trauma
Are you in a season of re-evaluating your relationship with faith or religious community? You don’t have to navigate that uncertainty alone. We provide an affirming, trauma-informed environment for those in the midst of deconstruction.
Our goal is to support you in exploring your identity, processing any associated grief or anxiety, and reclaiming the autonomy to live a life aligned with your truest self.
Religious deconstruction is a deeply personal process of examining the beliefs, structures, and communities that have shaped your life. Whether you are questioning your upbringing, re-evaluating your values, or navigating the tension between your past and your present, you deserve a safe space to do so.
Here, we offer non-judgmental support to help you explore your identity, process the complexities of leaving or shifting faith traditions, and cultivate a sense of self that feels authentic and truly your own.
We are here to walk alongside you as you disentangle your personal identity from systemic expectations, helping you discover who you are when you have the freedom to define your own values, boundaries, and purpose.
“Sydney is a warm, empathetic, & passionate OCD therapist. Sydney creates a non-judgmental environment where her clients can feel safe exploring parts of themselves, helping them to grow & feel more connected to their body.” - Mary Margaret Davis, LMSW
