Sylvia Asava, APRN, RN

Sylvia Asava, APRN, RN

Adult Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
CO
I bring years of specialized training and clinical experience to help clients achieve mental well-being. I completed my Nursing degree in Psychiatry, followed by a rigorous clinical rotation where I gained hands-on experience treating a wide range of mental health conditions. I provide compassionate, individualized, evidence-based care through mental health evaluations, medication management, and therapy. I work with anxiety, depression, mood and psychotic disorders among other mental health disorders, focusing on trust, open communication, and creating a safe, supportive space while building a plan tailored to your goals. Reaching out can feel hard, especially when you feel alone or overwhelmed. My strength is meeting you with empathy, honesty, and respect so you feel truly seen and safe. We will move at your pace and work together toward meaningful change. You do not have to carry this alone. When you are ready, I am here to support you.

Getting to know Sylvia Asava

What should a new client know about working with you?

Therapy will be tailored to address the main issues you are experiencing, and it typically involves a combination of talk therapy and, when appropriate, medication management. During therapy, you can expect a supportive and confidential environment. Over time, treatment plans are adjusted to meet your needs best and help you achieve your goals.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, mood swings, or symptoms that are hard to explain, leaving you stuck, hopeless, or alone. Maybe daily life feels heavier than it should, and you are tired of just getting by. You want clarity about what you are experiencing and a way forward that actually works. You are looking for a space where you can be heard without judgment, feel understood, and begin to regain a sense of control. More than anything, you want relief, stability, and a life that feels meaningful, balanced, and connected to who you truly are.
