Psychotherapy can help. At its heart, psychotherapy is about listening. And you, feeling truly heard in a new, and refreshing way. As a therapist I strive to listen with compassion and interest to help my clients hear their own voice. Reflected, this offers possibilities for greater self understanding, change, and new direction. The therapeutic relationship serves as a catalyst for the positive changes that you as a client seek.

Therapy is not one size fits all. We all walk different paths, have different lived experiences and hold different thoughts/emotions. My approach to therapy is person-centered. I meet each person where they are at and work collaboratively to address individual needs/goals. I will provide you with a safe, comfortable and judgment-free space to explore your inner thoughts, feelings, hopes and dreams. I recognize that you are the expert of you. My goal is to guide you towards further self-discovery by helping identify your triggers, develop positive coping skills, overcome life’s challenges and work towards living your fullest life.

Working from a feminist theoretical perspective, I feel that your unique voice deserves to be believed, be heard, and be taken seriously. I strive to create a trusted space in which you feel comfortable to work through your difficulties without fear of judgment or discrimination. I believe you will find me approachable, down to earth, and friendly!

I specialize in life transitions and helping people achieve goals in their personal and professional life. I especially enjoy helping people when they face major decisions and changes in life. Whether facing a crossroads in a relationship or choosing a career, I can help you define who you want to be and set you on a path toward achieving success. I also specialize in helping people with performance anxiety and performance achievement. Whether you're a student who dreads public speaking, an aspiring performing artist, or corporate manager, I can help you conquer roadblocks and provide tools to maximize performance.

I walk with clients through life's challenges. I actively listen and provide support in a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients are empowered to recognize their strengths as they explore their concerns, heal, and grow. In utilizing a trauma-informed, strength-based, and client-centered approach, I work with clients to identify and develop treatment goals that are tailored to their unique needs. Upon a client's request, I can also incorporate faith (with emphasis in Christianity) into counseling as faith plays an integral role in an individual's identity and worldview.

Making the decision to create change in your life takes courage and strength. Our therapists at Inspire Behavioral Health are here to provide compassionate support to assist you in gaining a fresh perspective, as well as identifying solutions for meeting your personal goals.

The pressure for women to perform at the highest levels in all aspects of their lives is at a breaking point. The emotional costs are very high! It has an impact on all relationships.

As a therapist, I approach all of my work from a social justice framework. I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds, including those struggling with chronic disabilities. I work with clients to set realistic, attainable goals for treatment and I aim for transparency in everything that I do. I particularly enjoy supporting women, members of the LGBTQ community and clients from other marginalized groups, as I understand the struggles well. I am culturally Deaf and fluent in ASL, and as such, I serve many Deaf clients. However, spoken English is my native language, so many of my clients are also hearing.

Greetings! My name is Sydney Klevering. I graduated with my master’s degree in social work from Michigan State University in spring of 2021. Throughout my practice, I have worked with individuals of ages 8 through 65. I have experience working with individuals through their traumas, shame, anxiety, anger, depression, identity issues, relationship troubles, grief, and heartache. I believe therapy looks different for each individual depending on what they are needing from the therapeutic space. Sometimes it’s using humor to bring connection, other times it’s processing tough challenges without judgement.

I am so glad you are here! Making the choice to seek therapy is something to be proud of, and I look forward to walking alongside you on this journey. I have direct experience working with a variety of populations including children, young and older adults, women and individuals with severe mental illness, as well as individuals who are in sustained SUD recovery. Although I enjoy working with a wide array of client populations, my primary focus is on women’s issues and women's trauma recovery.
