Sydney Smith

Collaboration is at the heart of my practice, and I work closely with each individual to tailor my approach to best suit their needs. I am completing my clinical practicum toward a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I practice with ongoing guidance from Oakwell’s clinical team, and under the supervision of two dedicated and experienced Oakwell clinicians who are approved to provide clinical supervision by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and Yorkville University. 
 

With a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Studio Art & Art History from Western University, I bring a creative, collaborative lens to therapy - tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of the individual. Whether through traditional talk therapy or integrating expressive techniques, I aim to help clients deepen their understanding of themselves and move toward meaningful change.

• Teens (ages 13+)
