Hello! I’m Sydney Landess, a provisionally Licensed Mental Health Counselor (tLMHC) based in Ankeny, IA. At the core of what I do is a commitment to providing a supportive, non-judgmental, and secure space where individuals feel empowered to share, express, and explore their thoughts and emotions.
Specializing in child and adolescent mental health, I bring a dedicated focus on traumatic stress. My approach integrates Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to adeptly assist clients in navigating and overcoming trauma-related challenges.
Recognizing the significance of family dynamics in therapeutic progress, I also specialize in the Integration of Working Models of Attachment into Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (Io-WA PCIT). This specialized approach is instrumental in managing behaviors in young children and focuses on strengthening family attachments.
My passion for addressing emotional intensity in young people drives my commitment to understanding and supporting the unique emotional landscapes experienced by this age group. In counseling, my methodology is both goal-oriented and solution-focused. I am dedicated to helping clients develop effective problem-solving skills and navigate their feelings to move forward through adversity.
Each client's healing journey is unique, and I aim to meet them exactly where they are, working collaboratively to develop a personalized and effective path toward interpersonal peace.
