Accepting Clients

Welcome! My name is Sydney Richards, LMFT and I am very glad you are here.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Jacksonville, FL

About My Clients

I work primarily with children and teenagers. However, I also provide services for adults of every age. I can incorporate family therapy based on the client's preference and clinical appropriateness. I do not provide couples therapy at this time. I have experience working with clients on a variety of concerns. Some of these include OCD, anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, mood disorders, suicidal ideation, trauma, stress, and developing healthy coping skills.

My Background and Approach

I have experience working with clients in outpatient, in-patient, school, and adoption/child welfare settings. I operate from a client-centered perspective. My approach is open-minded, empathetic, gentle, unbiased, and nonjudgmental. My goal as a therapist is to work alongside you to identify and develop helpful tools, skills, and abilities that work best for you and your lived experience.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My values are progressive in nature and center on kindness, empathy, and understanding. I am a full supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, racial justice and equity, body positivity/neutrality, and bodily autonomy. I believe that though we all come from different backgrounds, everyone deserves the opportunity to live a well-rounded and content life in whatever way works for them. In my personal experience, I have found that in spite of all of our various differences, there is often common ground that can be shared.
