About Me
My name is Sydnie Dobkin and I received my Masters in Counseling from the Family Institute at Northwestern University. I am a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™ and I have almost a decade of experience providing comprehensive and adherent DBT. I then completed my post-graduate fellowship at The Family Institute at Northwestern University on the Mindfulness and Behavioral Therapies Team. Following The Family Institute, I served as the Director of Adolescent DBT at Great Lakes Therapy Center, a DBT-Linehan Certified Program. Today, I continue to work with families and parents through a behavioral lens.
Currently, I am working at Rosewatter Chicagoland Counseling providing psychotherapy to youth, young adults, and families with emotion regulation difficulties, eating disorders, trauma, addiction, suicidality, and self-injurious behaviors. I have comprehensive training and experience using numerous evidence-based therapies, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (RODBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Prolonged Exposure (DBT PE), Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF CBT). In addition to evidence-based practices, I am also trained in psychodynamic theory, reiki, and yoga-informed psychotherapy.
My primary goal is to provide behaviorally driven therapeutic care to clinically and culturally diverse adolescents and young adults. I want to support my clients and help them generalize their skills outside of the therapy room. In my free time, I love to travel, snuggle with my dog Harold, and scope out the best places to eat sushi. I also love Taylor Swift, The 1975, and Harry Styles! You can find me reading YA novels, watching (maybe too much) television, and collecting crystals.
