Meet Sydney, MS, LPC
As a therapist, I value the process of the therapeutic space — shedding light on your progress, strengths, and steps toward meaningful change — knowing that the path towards healing is not linear. You deserve to have a space where your voice is heard, your experiences are understood, and your journey is fully supported.
At Made For This Counseling, we will process your experiences, make sense of the patterns and core beliefs that have shaped you, and learn new ways of coping. My goal is to guide you toward self-discovery, a calm nervous system, confidence, and clarity.
I’m Sydney, licensed therapist in the state of Wisconsin and founder of Made For This Counseling. I’d be honored to join you on your journey towards living a more authentic and fulfilling life!

Frequently Asked Questions—
-
My fee per session is $150 and sessions are 50 minutes.
As an out-of-network provider, I do not bill through insurance companies directly. However, I can provide you with an invoice statement to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Clients often get reimbursed this way, but this does depend on your coverage. HSA/FSA are accepted.
-
I provide in-person sessions at my office in Shorewood, conveniently situated just a few blocks from UW-Milwaukee and with easy access from I-43 and I-94.
I also offer HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions for anyone who lives in the state of Wisconsin.

During our first session together I typically focus on gathering your history and understanding important aspects of your story. This may take more than one session to cover. We will also review your goals and important focus points. As we go, I will continuously check in with you about how therapy is going and we will reassess your goals together.
-
In the beginning of the therapeutic process, I typically suggest attending sessions once a week or biweekly to build the therapeutic relationship and gather your story. However, this is entirely up to you and we can work collaboratively on how often therapy might be helpful for you.
Throughout the duration of therapy, I typically see my clients moving from biweekly, to monthly, and then to as needed.
-
It's entirely your choice. Some clients appreciate ongoing support from a therapist, while others might focus on a specific issue and then take a pause. I check in with clients at regularly to make sure they continue to receive a sense of meaningful support and progress in their work.
