Sydney Furman, LMFT — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Sydney!

I have a deep passion for helping individuals and families feel seen, heard, and supported. Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I congratulate you on starting your journey, and I'm here to make sure that it is meaningful to you.

My focus

At the heart of my work is creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. I believe in collaboration and in honoring the inner strengths you already carry. Together, we'll clarify your values, explore meaningful goals, and gently move toward the changes that feel right for you.

My approach

I take a holistic and compassionate approach, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, grounding practices, and mindfulness techniques to support you in reconnecting with yourself and what matters most. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, feeling stuck, or simply looking for a space to breathe and reflect.

My communication style

I focus on honest and open communication to build a space that feels safe and free of judgment. I listen closely and give you the chance to explore your thoughts and experiences with a supportive, understanding presence. When facing something difficult, I'll be steady, calm, and patient throughout.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist started with a strong curiosity about what makes people resilient and a genuine desire to support others through life's toughest moments. I saw firsthand how transformative therapy can be in the healing process. It's incredibly fulfilling to witness clients build confidence or discover peace along the way.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a collaborative process. We'll work together to set goals that are important to you—whether that's strengthening relationships, boosting self-confidence, or pursuing another personal aim. As you gain new insights, your goals may shift, and we can adjust our approach to keep it aligned with what matters most.
