Welcome! My name is Sydney Heglund, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I know that starting therapy can feel daunting, intimidating, and at times, anxiety-producing. Whether you’re navigating a difficult season of life, feeling stuck in familiar patterns, or hoping to better understand yourself, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Together, at your own pace, we’ll work through life’s challenges, uncover your strengths, and help you move toward the person you want to become.

My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and genuine connection. I believe meaningful growth happens when you feel both supported and gently challenged. In our sessions, I strive to meet you where you are, tailoring my approach to your unique needs, experiences, and goals. I believe therapy can hold both the heavy moments and the lighthearted ones. There is room for tears, laughter, uncertainty, and everything in between.

I take an integrative, collaborative approach to therapy, particularly when working with individuals who find themselves “stuck in their heads,” overwhelmed by their thoughts, or unsure where to begin. I draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you better understand your thoughts and emotions, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful changes in your everyday life. Along the way, we may use metaphors, practice new strategies, or identify small, achievable goals to help carry our work beyond the therapy room.

I have experience working with children, teens, young adults, and families navigating a variety of emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for the uniqueness of each person’s story and reinforced my belief that therapy is never one-size-fits-all. You are the expert on your own experiences, and my role is to walk alongside you with curiosity, compassion, and care.

Whether this is your first experience with therapy or you’re returning after some time away, I would be honored to hear your story and support you in taking the next step.
