Sydney Pallares, MSW, LMSW
Associate Clinical Therapist
She/ Her/ Hers
Hi, I’m Sydney, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW). My sole mission is to make a positive impact on the lives of others. Life is meant to have beautiful experiences and meaning but does not come without its more difficult seasons. I am here to walk alongside my clients in those seasons so that they feel supported, have a road map, and have guidance on deciding what action steps may be the next right turn for their journey.
I strongly believe that the quality of our relationships can bring more happiness, meaning, and purpose in life than any tangible thing in this world. Clients who want to improve the quality of their relationships with others through improved communication, self-awareness, and self-image will find connection and support when we work together. In sessions, I utilize systems theory and attachment theory as the backdrop to our work, meaning we will dig in to understand the dynamics of your most significant relationships throughout your life and your learned communication styles. I also use CBT, ACT, Solution Focused and Narrative therapies, and play based interventions to support clients of all ages. I am here to help clients ages 8 and up with depression, childhood trauma, ADHD, social & generalized anxiety, social-emotional learning, relationship building, and premarital counseling.
I’m originally from Staten Island, New York. I completed my schooling at West Virginia University for undergrad and University of Maryland, Baltimore for my master’s degree before moving to Arizona in 2021. So, if you have a deep love of Italian food, crab dip, grapefruit crushes, the Orioles, or being a Mountaineer; I may be a great fit for you! When I’m not in therapy sessions, I enjoy moving and strengthening myself in the gym, snowboarding in the winter, and spending time finding the best coffee in my area with my husband and infant son.
Great job taking the first step of finding a therapist to walk alongside you in this season of life. I hope to get to hear from you and meet you soon.
