Getting to know Joann Silva

Hello, I am Joann Silva, Life has a way of constantly throwing the unexpected at us. Do you believe you are not up to the challenges that are piling up? Do you think you are just recycling old life issues? Strategies that used to help you cope do not work or you have outgrown them? No issue is too small or too big. With over 45 years in this field, I believe I have encountered almost every kind of human trauma and can help you bring yourself back to peacefulness and joy in living. I have years of being a great listener - funny and heartfelt and skilled at helping my clients find their confidence and joy, and reset their resilience to tackle life's long list of hits. I am a student of nature and human nature. I will always look to help you see all of your health and strength and nature responses to stress. As you educate me about you and your life, and the things that work and do not work, we will put together the most ancient and newest wisdom and skills undo your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual struggles. We will work to lessen or eliminate those symptoms of distress called anxiety, depression and the myriad of other symptoms that are confusing and overwhelming. We will work to help you find your center, your peace, passion and use all of the past struggles to empower you again. My goal for each session is to lessen your stress or upset, to offer laughter to break up pain, to bring stories and wisdom to help with your concerns and new ways to master the internal and external challenges you are facing. I look forward to walking a bit with you down that road to a new joy.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Each session, we will review the issues and concerns from the previous session. You will educate me on your priorities on those issues. Therapy will focus on developing the strategies that work for you and offer new ways to gain mastery of the thoughts, emotions, physical issues, and spiritual/value issues that concern you. We will select what is right for you from the best practices of current therapeutic techniques. And always, we will look at all of your strengths and successes as you change what you what to change in yourself and your world, and strategies to move away from those situations that you do not want to deal with any longer. All new learning takes practice, so at a pace that is comfortable home practice will be offered.

In-network insurances

Joann Silva, LCSW has 150+ in-network plans.

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.
