Getting to know April Silva
Hi there! My name is April Silva, and I currently hold a License as a Marriage and Family Therapist, #142789. I earned my Master�s in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Phoenix. I aim to provide a space to help you sort through your day-to-day worries, identify the underlying causes of strong, confusing emotions, and build skills for communication and connection. I currently specialize in PTSD, Depression, and Anxiety.
My approach
I specialize in trauma, including complex trauma and dissociation, and love helping clients work through past trauma. I have a Cognitive-Behavioral approach in counseling that focuses on the "here & now," exploring how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect your well-being. I will build on your strengths, promote positive communication, encourage positive coping strategies, increase awareness of boundaries, and develop problem-solving skills that will enhance your relationships. CBT can help you make sense of overwhelming problems by breaking them down into smaller, manageable parts. I also utilize attachment theory, somatic therapy, and EMDR. Through this process, my hope is to help you build empowerment, confidence, and cultivate a renewed sense of purpose and well-being.
My focus
I currently work with adults, couples, and seniors. I really enjoy working with couples who are struggling to communicate and need help reconnecting, as well as individuals who are healing from trauma, anxiety and panic, or depression.
My communication style
I like to provide my clients with a warm, safe, calming environment. Working with me will be a safe place to express all feelings and experiences.
My goals for you
I assist clients in finding their purpose for seeking therapy and align goals with that purpose.
My first session with you
During the first session, the goal is to form a trusting relationship, identify the purpose of therapy, and leave the session feeling like the first steps of healing are being created.
