Sydney Whittum, MS, MFT

If you are looking for a therapist who understands the chaos of parenting, the emotional intensity of kids, or that sense that your nervous system needs a break, welcome. You are in the right place.

I work with children, parents, and the space in between to help families get unstuck, build emotional awareness, and feel more connected to themselves and one another. With children, I use child centered play therapy to support emotional regulation, build confidence, and encourage healthier self expression. With parents, I offer practical tools rather than lectures to help you support your child at home and strengthen your parent child relationship.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I view people within the full context of their lives rather than as individual problems. I often work with children individually while collaborating closely with parents to shift the patterns that shape daily life. This work focuses on building skills that help families function better together, without pretending that parenting always feels calm or effortless.

If you are ready to make real, sustainable change for yourself or your child, you are in the right place. Please reach out - I would love to work together!
