  • “Sydney is gifted at speaking, presenting and most importantly, connecting with participants in community. Sydney offered a training on Being a Highly Sensitive Person while Black to our therapist members. Not only is Sydney a joy to plan and collaborate with, she demonstrated a delicate balance of being an informative educator and attuned space-holder for us. I am grateful to learn from and journey alongside Sydney, a bold advocate for equitable, liberatory mental health care.”

  • "As an organization (Chicago Minds) that curates diverse and inclusive workshops for clinicians, we were so thrilled to find out about Sydney's workshop. The workshop definitely filled a knowledge gap for many of us who didn't have prior experience in starting or running a small business. The process working with Sydney was smooth and collaborative. During the workshop, Sydney has shared so much helpful information that made practice building less intimidating and more exciting. We have also received a lot of  positive feedback from participants after the workshop. We look forward to working with Sydney again in the future!"

  • "I was so happy to have Sydney as a guest speaker on The HSP Podcast! Her episode, Being a Highly Sensitive Person While Black with Sydney James received a lot of praise from the Black HSP community and so many shared that they felt truly understood listening to this episode. Sydney is truly helping people feel understood, valued, and have a sense of belonging and that is so powerful!  Her voice is so needed in the world."
