Sydney Dranow
MS, LCPC-c
Location: Wells (1662 Post Road)
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Building a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship and fostering self-compassion is central to my work. I work with adolescents and adults and welcome clients experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, life stressors, and personal challenges, while helping them build self-compassion, resilience, and confidence through life’s difficulties.
My therapeutic approach is primarily rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while incorporating techniques from a variety of modalities, including mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs, goals, and experiences to support meaningful growth and lasting change.
