Getting to know Shirley Garcia Silva

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with extensive experience diagnosing and managing a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, concentration issues and OCD. I also have experience in treating complex psychiatric conditions such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel heard and empowered. Whether you're seeking medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of both, I am here to support your mental health journey with compassion and clinical expertise. When you work with me, you can expect a collaborative, respectful partnership. I value open communication and take the time to understand your unique experiences, needs, and goals. Every individual is different, and I tailor my approach accordingly. I’m here to listen, guide, and support you every step of the way. You’re never alone in this process.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our work together begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to get a clear picture of your mental health history, current challenges, and treatment goals. From there, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, or a blend of these. Follow-up appointments focus on reviewing progress, adjusting treatment as needed, and ensuring that you feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout your care.
