Sydney Robinson, CRNP, is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner providing care for children, adolescents, and young adults. She offers in-person services at Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates’ Wilmington, DE, and Philadelphia, PA, offices, and virtual appointments across Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey.

Sydney specializes in treating mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, ADHD, and eating disorders with co-occurring psychiatric concerns. She is known for her holistic, thoughtful, and calming approach. Families value her thorough assessments and her commitment to education and collaboration throughout the treatment process.

She began her nursing career at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where she supported youth ages 3 to 21 with complex medical and psychiatric needs. She later joined Nemours Children’s Hospital, providing consult-liaison psychiatric care in the ICU, emergency department, and medical-surgical units, while also treating patients in the outpatient behavioral health clinic.

Before entering nursing, Sydney worked in cognitive neuroscience research at MIT and served as a residential counselor at McLean Hospital in Boston. She earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Rochester, graduating magna cum laude.

She later completed her BSN and MSN in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing at the University of Pennsylvania, where she was awarded a research grant to study the mental and physical health effects of dance. This research continues to shape her interest in mind-body approaches to care.

In addition to her clinical work, Sydney teaches part-time as a simulation instructor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. She is also pursuing certification in dance/movement therapy, driven by her belief in the connection between emotional and physical well-being.
