Executive Director of Clinical
& Practice Operations
Hi hi, my names Sydney Villeneuve and I am a LPC in the beautiful state of Virginia. I have over 13 years of experience in the mental health field across a wide range of clinical settings and levels of care, from acute and residential treatment to intensive community-based services and outpatient practice. My clinical work is rooted in psychoanalytic therapy, with a focus in attachment, somatic and parts work. I value the relationship between mental and physical well-being which naturally creates a holistic and intentional approach to inner work. I’m drawn to work that looks beneath the surface value and seeks to understand the experiences, relationships, and patterns that shape how we move and connect.
Over the course of my career, I’ve evolved from direct clinical care into clinical supervision, quality assurance, and executive leadership, while remaining grounded in the heart-to-heart of clinical work. Today, I help lead our multidisciplinary team with my focus on clinical quality, thoughtful systems, and supporting our clinicians in doing meaningful, sustainable work. I bring a perspective shaped by years in the field, a deep respect for the therapeutic relationship, and a genuine passion in making mental health care better for both the communities we serve and for our providers leading that work.
Otherwise, my true fulfillment comes from my faith and living the slow life with my husband, our sweet boy and fur bbs. I feels most like myself when theres coffee (grandmas way), a good book, sour candy, or a rainstorm rolling in.
I appreciate you taking the time to read about the professional experience & parts of my life that inspire my role here at TC&C.

Feeling Valuable and Unworthy
When talking about self-esteem and self-worth, the terms are often used interchangeably, when in actuality they impact the way we see ourselves quite differently. So, what is the difference and how do they each feel?
Self-esteem is how you feel towards the way you outwardly deliver yourself and how you are received by others. It is perceived from more of a bird's-eye view, from first impressions to your felt successes and achievements. Our relationship with our self-esteem is experienced by how we feel about our outer, most-perceived self, or the way we introduce ourself to the world.
