Sydney Calloway
Change and growth don’t have to feel scary, because I assist my clients in utilizing their strengths to take back their power! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. I graduated from Mercer University with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am the founder and CEO of ReWire The Mind Therapy, LLC.
My experience includes treating individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, grief, postpartum, racial issues, trauma, life transitions, relationship conflict, substance abuse, and more.
My background includes working in community mental health for over five years, both at the inpatient and outpatient levels. My experience includes treating individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, grief, postpartum, racial issues, relationship conflict, self esteem, women's issues, and more. My clients can see that I am passionate about assisting them in healing wounds and navigating the next chapters in life. I am EMDR trained and currently use EMDR in my practice.
First session
Clients can expect to breathe a sigh of relief by feeling safe and heard in the therapeutic space. I want my clients to feel in control of their treatment by identifying their goals and which issues to address first. Therapy can be difficult, but I want my clients to have a peace of mind knowing that I am passionate about walking alongside them in this journey. Healing isn't linear, but I am with my clients throughout the their healing journey through the ups and downs.
Strengths
My greatest strength as a therapist is meeting clients where they are at in their journey. Sometimes clients realize they aren't ready to dive into certain issues right away and that's okay! I am empathic, encouraging, and motivating, but I also hold my clients accountable to do the work to reach their desired goals.
Ideal clients
I work with adults 18+ in individual therapy navigating challenges including trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, postpartum, racism, life transitions, relationship conflicts, self esteem, and more. I am EMDR trained and enjoy assisting clients in healing from negative memories by allowing the brain to process the events that are stuck in the nervous system. I work with clients no matter where they are in their healing journey, to set goals that meet their needs.
Treatment methods
EMDR
Do you feel stuck in the present moment due to past trauma and/or negative beliefs about yourself? Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy helps the brain process and heal from negative memories, thoughts, and feelings. Bilateral stimulation is utilized in EMDR to activate both sides of the brain to process the events that are stuck in the nervous system. EMDR is an effective form of therapy for various forms of abuse, recent incident trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, pain, and more. "You can outdistance that which is running after you, but you cannot outdistance that which is running inside of you." - African Proverb
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist clients in managing symptoms of anxiety and depression. CBT works well with clients who struggle with irrational thinking patterns, negative thinking patterns, feelings, and/or behaviors to challenge and reframe these thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers various skills for clients to add to their toolboxes.
Grief Therapy
I have been able to utilize Grief Therapy to assist clients in managing their various forms of loss (death, relationships, pets, job, housing, etc). I walk alongside clients and meet them where they are at in their grieving process. Grief has stages, but it also looks different for each individual and I am willing to walk that journey with my clients.
