Sydney Benton
Personal Profile

I hope to provide a safe space for you to express all of who you are, without fear of judgement or fear of rejection. Our therapeutic relationship is very important in helping you feel safe and grow. My therapeutic style allows clients to lead the way and focus on whatever may be holding them back in living their most authentic life. I received my master’s in clinical social work from Seattle University, and I have had experience in community mental health with both adolescents and adults.
I also have experience in treating substance use disorders in all age groups. I utilize a trauma-informed approach and my therapeutic method focuses on radical acceptance, mindfulness, and distress tolerance skills. I hope we can join together to walk the path of growth and change.
