Getting to know Amanda Silva

Hello, Im Amanda Im a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the Bay Area. My specialties are DBT, parts work, EMDR, and Existential approaches. I became a therapist after experiencing therapy myself and though not every therapist clicked, the ones that saw me and really listened made all the difference. I use a neutral but warm approach and practice professional boundaries while still being human and allowing some humor in the therapy hour. I started in an inpatient substance use clinic, I have interned at an Indian health clinic, practiced palliative social work, and provided therapy for healthcare workers and first responders in both inpatient and telehealth settings. I practice evidencedbased therapy grounded in the most effective and research based part of therapy the quality of the therapistclient relationship.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
