Sydney Adams McCray: LAPC, NCC
M. S. Clinical Mental Health Counseling
Sometimes we find ourselves caught in cycles that feel impossible to break—overwhelmed by anxiety, difficulty controlling anger, navigating the pain of difficult relationships, wrestling with intrusive thoughts, or trying to cope with life after trauma or major transitions. You may be feeling emotionally exhausted, constantly overwhelmed, disconnected in your relationships, or unsure of how to move forward. You are not alone—and you are not broken. Therapy can help you unpack what’s been weighing you down, understand the patterns holding you back, and help you begin to heal in ways that last. Sydney's goal is to help you feel safe, empowered, and more connected to yourself and others. Through the therapeutic process, you can rediscover your voice, build healthier relationships, and move forward with greater clarity, peace, and fulfillment.
Sydney’s faith plays an integral role in her approach to healing. While she meets every client where they are—regardless of belief system—her foundation in faith shapes her belief that each person is capable of growth, healing, restoration, and resilience. Drawing from her own experiences within the healing nature of therapy, she utilizes a holistic, integrative, person-centered approach and honors each client’s unique background and worldview to help them achieve their goals.
Sydney is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision at Duquesne University, where she also serves as a graduate assistant in the Counseling Department. In addition, she is an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Counseling and Development at Slippery Rock University. In both roles, she is actively involved in educating, supervising, and mentoring students and future counselors.
