Idris Syed

With over 20 years of experience as both a licensed counselor and professor, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals through life’s most complex and challenging transitions. Whether you're navigating individual, relationship, family issues, trauma, anxiety, or depression, I offer a safe, inclusive, and compassionate space for healing and growth. I’ve worked with clients from diverse backgrounds—including individuals, couples, at-risk youth, foster/adoptive families, and college students—and I bring a culturally responsive lens to all my work.
My approach is highly personalized and trauma-informed, drawing from evidence-based practices such as CBT, solution-focused and narrative therapy, with a deep belief in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship.
Along with talk therapy, I integrate mindfulness and somatic awareness into my work. I am a certified 200hr yoga teacher and I currently volunteer with the Prison Yoga Project, facilitating yoga sessions for incarcerated youth. Healing takes time and is a process; it can often be challenging and even scary. I’m here to support you through your unique path.
