DR. SYDNEY FELKER-ROSS
Licensed Psychologist
Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, or major life changes? Being human brings times of joy and love, and also moments of pain and anxiety.  As a licensed Psychologist, I can help you find balance in life through embracing your humanity.
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR VISIT
Guiding You On the Path of Self-Healing
Initial therapy sessions are designed for me to learn more about you, assess your needs and goals, and develop a treatment plan. I approach therapy from a humanistic and interpersonal perspective, which focuses on using the therapeutic relationship as an avenue for healing. My style is strengths- based, interactive and emotion-focused. I also integrate techniques from evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). As therapy progresses, you may feel more pain or difficulties; however this is a natural step toward healing. I view therapy as a collaborative process, drawing upon your knowledge of yourself as I guide you through introspection, skill building, acceptance and change.

ABOUT ME
I'm a licensed psychologist based in Athens, Georgia. After completing my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Georgia, I earned my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University.  I have experience working in both university counseling centers and community agencies. I thoroughly enjoy my work as a therapist, finding meaning in the relationships I establish with my clients. I'm inspired by the risks clients take by entering therapy and the vulnerability necessary to embrace change.
