Introduction

My name is Sydney Hafer (she/her) and I am so glad you are here! I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor offering virtual individual, couples, and family therapy across California. I specialize in eating disorders/body image, trauma and complex trauma, mood disorders, substance use, and LGBTQIA+ identity exploration. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and human-centered. I draw from psychodynamic, attachment-based, and evidence-based modalities to tailor my treatment to meet each client’s unique needs, supporting them in moving toward their goals and building a more fulfilling life. I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for clients who are looking for an alternative psychedelic-oriented method to support them on their healing journey. My goal is for therapy to be a safe and affirming space where all parts of you are welcome. Together, we’ll explore your unique story, untangle unhelpful patterns, and work toward healing and growth aligned with your most authentic self.
