Getting to know Lorena Silva

Hi there, I'm Lorena! I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard and understood. Together, we'll explore challenges, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move toward greater balance, well-being, and personal growth. My focus I work with young adults, adults, and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I provide a supportive, collaborative space where clients can gain insight, build coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I offer a collaborative, nonjudgmental space; with a supportive approach, where clients can explore challenges, develop effective coping strategies, and work toward meaningful personal growth. My communication style My communication style is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I strive to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to openly explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a provider began with a desire to support others through difficult life experiences and help reduce the stigma around mental health. Through my training and clinical experience, I developed a deep appreciation for the healing power of therapy and the importance of a supportive, collaborative therapeutic relationship. My goals for you I help clients reach their goals by collaborating to identify clear, realistic objectives and tailoring treatment to their individual needs. Together, we build practical coping skills, increase insight, and use evidence-based strategies to support steady, meaningful progress. Our first session The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore your goals. We’ll begin developing a collaborative plan tailored to your needs in a supportive, comfortable environment.
