Sydney Yarbrough-Livermore
Hi, I’m Sydney! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and I’m glad you’re here. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, and I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions and have experience working in community mental health, school-based services, and private practice. I believe therapy is a space where you can show up as you are, feel heard and understood, and explore the parts of yourself and your life that you may be struggling with. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that growth begins with feeling safe enough to be honest with yourself. Together, we can work to better understand your thoughts and emotions, recognize patterns that may no longer be serving you, strengthen your relationships, and build tools to help you navigate life with greater confidence and clarity.
Working with adults, I use my early childhood development knowledge to help heal the inner child and past traumas and/or challenges that may be holding you back from living a present and fulfilled life.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a difficult season, working through relationship challenges, or simply wanting to understand yourself on a deeper level, I would be honored to be part of your journey. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable exploring, growing, and discovering what meaningful change looks like for you. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin wherever you are, and take it one step at a time.
First session
My goal from the first session is for you to feel heard, validated, safe, transparent and open. You will be supported, accepted and encouraged to lean into your challenges to find dynamic and helpful solutions. Working with adults, I use my early childhood development knowledge to help heal the inner child and past traumas and/or challenges that may be holding you back from living a present and fulfilled life.
Strengths
I have experience working from a trauma-informed, collaborative, client-centered approach in both individual and family therapy. I work with children, young adults, families and adults of all ages to help reflect on challenges and co-create goals to help strengthen a happy and healthier version of you.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are individuals looking to better understand themselves, navigate anxiety or relationship challenges, and break patterns that no longer serve them. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. I enjoy working with clients who are open to self-reflection and growth. Together, we’ll build self-awareness, strengthen communication, develop healthier coping skills, and help you feel more confident, connected, and fulfilled.
