Sydney Jones

Therapist Sydney Jones specializes in working with high-achieving professionals and elite performers navigating high-pressure, demanding careers without sacrificing their wellbeing. She supports clients in fields such as sales, finance, medicine, law, athletics, and other performance-driven roles who are balancing ambition, relationships, and personal fulfillment while managing anxiety, burnout, and chronic stress in environments where slowing down can feel impossible.

Her work often includes helping clients process major life transitions—such as career changes, injury, divorce, or the end of collegiate or professional performance—and the identity shifts that follow. Sydney also supports individuals in long-distance relationships facing emotional or physical separation due to career demands. Her work is grounded in a trauma-informed approach, and she integrates EMDR-informed practices to support nervous system regulation and meaningful change.

From start to finish, she helps clients with stress and anxiety management, time and energy management, grief, relationship stress, performance pressure, and reconnecting with a sense of purpose. (To learn more about Sydney’s focus on energy management versus time management, read her blog on burnout.)

Alongside her work with professionals, Sydney brings the same performance-informed, trauma-aware approach to teens and young adults navigating high expectations and identity development.

 With her teen clients, Sydney is the perfect mix of cool big sister, instructional coach, and “tell you straight up” support. She helps anxious and depressed teens develop a strong sense of identity, particularly those growing up in high-achieving families or balancing the demands of academics, athletics, and self-care. Sydney supports teens through important “firsts,” including expressing emotions to parents, time management, grief, dating, break-ups, and leaving home for college. She also works with young adults navigating college life and the stress of finding and starting a career.

Sydney is originally from Southlake, Texas. After high school, she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Management from Siena College in New York. A lifelong athlete from a family of formidable women, Sydney was a four-year starter and captain of Siena’s NCAA Division I water polo team and a four-year Academic All-American.

After earning her Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UNT–Dallas, Sydney relocated to Boston. She currently works as a mental health worker at Boston Medical Center–Brighton, gaining experience in an inpatient setting. In her free time, she enjoys visiting the Copley Public Library, exploring new restaurants, recreating her favorite bites, and working on her charcoal art.
