Associate Therapist
Siriya provides therapy, case management, and crisis intervention services at our Bloomingdale office, working with clients from youth to older adults. She also facilitates group therapy for youth in our PEACE program.
Before joining NEDFYS, Siriya was a community support specialist at Thresholds, offering case management and short-term therapy for older adult veterans. She has interned at the YWCA Rape Crisis Hotline, supporting survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, and at Solutions for Care in Adult Protective Services, investigating abuse and neglect among older adults and disabled individuals. Her most recent internship was at Ascension Behavioral Health Outpatient Clinic, where she provided individual and group therapy across the lifespan.
Siriya is dedicated to empowering her clients by helping them build on their strengths to improve their quality of life. She takes a client-centered approach, ensuring they feel heard, supported, and free from judgment. Her commitment to providing high-quality care creates a safe space for personal growth and self-discovery.
Fun Fact: Siriya is a strong advocate for self care and does so by reading, journaling, painting, and scrapbooking. If you ever need ideas for creativity, she’s the person you can go to!
