Sydney Hatchel

My communication style

My communication style is warm, approachable, and straightforward. I listen without judgment, ask thoughtful questions, and work collaboratively with clients rather than simply telling them what to do. I aim to make therapy feel comfortable, practical, and genuine.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into counseling began with a passion for helping children and families navigate challenges and recognize their strengths. After earning my master’s degree in counseling, I spent five years as a school-based special education counselor before transitioning into private practice.

My goals for you

I help clients turn their goals into practical, achievable steps. Together, we identify patterns, build coping and communication skills, work through challenges, and recognize progress along the way. I tailor therapy to each client’s needs and use evidence-based strategies to support lasting change.

Our first session

Our first session is about getting to know you, understanding what brought you to therapy, and identifying what you hope to work toward. We’ll talk about your experiences, strengths, and current challenges, and begin creating a plan that fits your needs. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out, we’ll take it one step at a time.
