Sydney Walker

Graduate Student Intern

Sydney is currently pursuing her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. With a background in Division I athletics, corporate environments, and entrepreneurship, she understands the pressure to perform, succeed, and hold it all together. As a certified yoga, Pilates, and fitness instructor, she brings a strong mind-body perspective into her work, helping clients feel more grounded, connected, and confident in themselves. This work is an investment in your growth, helping you build the insight and tools to create a more grounded, confident, and sustainable way of living.

She takes a whole-person approach to therapy, integrating practical tools, somatic awareness, and evidence-based modalities to support meaningful, lasting change. Her work focuses on helping clients build skills they can carry into all areas of their lives, not just understand their thoughts, but shift how they live, respond, and relate to themselves.

Sydney is especially passionate about working with athletes and high-achieving individuals navigating performance anxiety, self-doubt, purpose, burnout, and life transitions. She also supports individuals experiencing anxiety, people-pleasing patterns, perfectionism, and relationship challenges.
