Kami Sidman, MA.Ed., J.D., Licensed Professional Counselor​​

​Hello, I'm Kami Sidman, and I am the founder of Compassionate Therapy Center, a Licensed Professional Counselor, as well as a Harvard Law School grad based in Alexandria, Virginia,  Washington, DC, and Maryland. My goal is to provide a warm, compassionate, and authentic approach to therapy. 

My winding path has taken me from civil rights policy work to  student affairs, career counseling, and several years in a university counseling center. I have extensive counseling experience with emerging and young adults (18-30s) and others navigating life transitions. I often work with clients who feel stuck professionally, struggle with work/life balance, or are considering a career change. 
​
As a multiracial woman of color, I enjoy counseling clients with any identity concerns. I appreciate working with lawyers/law students, among others, and I have particular interest in exploring client giftedness, creativity, sensitivity, and high achievement.

If you are interested in learning more about my availability for speaking engagements or clinical supervision for counselors and marriage and family therapists, please visit https://www.kamisidman.com
