Getting to know Silvia Ascencio

Our first session is a chance for us to connect, understand your background, and explore what led you to seek therapy. I aim to create a comfortable environment where you feel heard and understood. Starting therapy is a significant step, and I commend you for beginning this journey. My goal is to ensure your experience is meaningful and supportive. I hold a Master's in Psychology from Argosy University and specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, tailoring each session to your specific needs and goals. Together, we identify the most effective strategies for your unique situation. I am here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself. I utilize Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to help you pinpoint and modify unproductive thought patterns. This practical method equips you to gain better control over your thoughts, emotions, and actions. Depending on your needs, modalities such as mindfulness or medication may be incorporated into our sessions. Your objectives and progress remain central to our collaborative work. We will recognize difficulties together and create plans to help you move forward confidently. I specialize in supporting young adults and adults facing anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. I understand these can be particularly difficult times, and I'm here to offer guidance and support. If you're struggling with anxious thoughts or self-doubt, I can help you develop effective strategies to manage these feelings and build a stronger sense of self. Together, we can address any underlying trauma, develop coping skills, and clarify your personal goals.
