Sidney Joines

Hi! My name is Sidney, and I am an Expressive Arts Therapist. I received Bachelors' degrees in Theatre and Psychology from Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia and my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Expressive Arts Therapy from Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I have over 10 years of experience working with children and families and almost 6 years of experience utilizing expressive arts therapy. 

My passion is working creatively with children and adults to cope with life’s changes and build fundamental skills. I specialize in neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My primary modalities include art of all kinds, sandtray work, play therapy techniques, mindfulness, somatic awareness, Collaborative Problem-Solving, and more. In my free time, I enjoy quality time with friends, tabletop RPG, playing with my dogs and cat, making art, and getting fresh air outside (when it's not too cold). I want you to know that you matter and I wish you warmth and wellness on your mental health journey.

I am currently accepting virtual clients only and have very limited availability.
