Sid Solomon, MA

Sid (she/they) believes that effective therapy can bring about more possibility and ease in our lives. The more we know ourselves, mourn what we’ve lost—or never had—and develop a greater capacity to tolerate complexity, the more freedom we have to make choices based on what we want and need, rather than being ruled by what has happened to us. Over time, we may find more room for aliveness, desire, connection, and ease, alongside the difficult feelings that are part of being human.

Sid approaches the work of therapy with compassion, humor, and rigor. She sees the relationship between therapist and client as an important site of exploration, where patterns can become visible and new ways of relating can be experienced.

Sid works with adults, adolescents, couples, polycules, and families. As a white clinician, she is committed to ongoing reflection about the ways race, power, privilege, and systems of oppression shape our inner lives and relationships, including the relationship between therapist and client. Her practice is queer and trans affirming.

She earned an MSW at the Smith College School for Social Work. She also holds an M.Ed. from Hunter College and a BA in Gender and Women’s Studies and Political Science from UMBC. Before becoming a therapist, she worked in New York City public schools for over a decade.
