SYDNEY SPRATTE, LCSW

Clinician (Under supervision of Tracey Taldon, LICSW)

Hello! Welcome. Research shows one of the strongest factors of successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance- the connection you have with your therapist. Let's see if we are a good fit. I am a passionate licensed clinical social worker who specializes in depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, and relationship issues with over 1,000 hours of experience working with adults and youths. My approach is rooted in a holistic perspective, meaning we will consider mental, emotional, physical, social, cultural, geographical, political, spiritual, and even historical factors that contribute to mental health. I tailor my practice to meet your needs and goals, applying research-based modalities and using therapeutic tools like visual aids, worksheets, meditations, writing prompts, and breathing techniques. Being from Los Angeles and an avid traveler, I have long been surrounded by a vibrant array of cultures, which has shaped my comfort and passion for embracing and learning about diverse perspectives. My background has also influenced a strong artistic component within my style. We will pull from art, music, memes, history, and pop culture to help you explain and understand your experience, as well as validate, normalize, and de-stigmatize mental health. I'll be here with you on days you seek a listening ear, days you want to be challenged, and everything in between. If you have further questions about my education, experience, or approach, feel free to reach out and I'll gladly share more information.
