Sydney Carlos

My professional interests center on gender-affirming, sex-positive, and culturally responsive mental health care. I have experience working with 2SLGBTQIA+ clients, individuals living with HIV/AIDS, survivors of trauma, and clients navigating identity, relationships, and life transitions. Through my work at Prisma Community Care and other community-based agencies, I provide comprehensive assessments, collaborative treatment planning, crisis intervention, and ongoing psychotherapy. I am especially passionate about supporting clients with concerns related to sexuality, attachment, internal family systems, anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood and personality disorders, relationship issues, self-esteem, and minority stress. I approach care through a trauma-informed and strengths-based lens, honoring each client’s lived experience, culture, and autonomy while creating safety, empowerment, and authenticity in the therapeutic space.
