Getting to know Lisa Silver

I am Lisa Silver, an LCSW specializing in supporting individuals as they navigate life's difficulties and mental health challenges to increase agency, build resiliency, and improve well-being. My focus areas include grief, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, relationship issues, life transitions, and self-compassion/self-esteem. My approach I use mindfulness techniques to help clients focus on the present. It is essential for me to explore with clients patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that no longer serve them and replace these with new ones to improve joy and positivity. I also emphasize the mind, body, and spiritual connection, treating the whole person. I use CBT, DBT, ACT, Positive Psychology, and Solution-Focused Therapy modalities. My focus I work with clients who want to make changes to improve functioning and well-being. I provide psychoeducation and coping skills to address anxiety, depression, grief, and chronic pain. I also excel at treating relationship issues, developing healthy boundaries, and improving self-compassion and self-esteem. I meet clients where they are, discussing the past in the context of focusing on the present and future. My communication style I am an empathetic listener and validating to clients. I am warm and bright and work hard to establish and maintain a strong therapeutic bond. I am an active therapist who provides multiple coping skills and interventions so clients can grow and flourish in therapy. My journey to mental healthcare I came to therapy later in life after a life change made me reevaluate what I wanted my life's work to be. I was deeply affected by hospice workers who cared for my mother before her passing and thought that if I were ever in a position to do that work and give back, I would. I also reflected on wanting to become a social worker earlier but didn't pursue it then. I earned my Bachelor of Science and later completed my Master's in Social Work at San Jos? State University.
