Getting to know Lisa Silver

I am Lisa Silver, an LCSW specializing in supporting individuals navigate life's difficulties and mental health challenges to increase agency, build resiliency, and improve well-being. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, San Jose. My focus areas of practice include grief, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, relationship issues, life transitions, and self-compassion/self-esteem. My approach I use mindfulness techniques to support clients in focusing on the present. It is essential for me to explore with clients patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that no longer serve them and to replace these with new ones to improve joy and positivity in life. I also focus on the mind, body, and spiritual connection and treat the whole person. I use CBT, DBT, ACT, Positive Psychology, and Solution-Focused Therapy treatment modalities as well. My focus I work with clients who want to make a change in their life to improve functioning and well-being. I provide psychoeducation and coping skills to improve conditions of anxiety, depression, grief, and chronic pain. I also excel at treating relationship issues, developing healthy boundaries, and improving self-compassion/self-esteem. I meet clients where they are to discuss 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 keep a strong therapeutic bond. I am an active therapist who provides multiple coping skills and interventions so the client can grow and flourish in therapy. My journey to mental healthcare I came to therapy later in life upon a life change that had me re-evaluate 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 at that time if I was ever in the position to do that work and give back, I would do that.
