Getting to know Silvia Avila

Hola, you can call me Silvia. I am a Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist, as well as a Certified Forensic Mental Health Evaluator (CFMHE)-the only one in the State of Illinois with an Immigration Specialization. I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Northwestern University and a Bachelor's degree from Northeastern Illinois University. Every year, I complete at least 180-200 hours of advanced training in various areas of psychology, psychotherapy, and professional development, as required by my Illinois professional license. I am fortunate to have been sought as an expert contributor by Univisi?n, Telemundo, and La Ley Radio (Spanish TV and Radio) for local and national news. Silvia Avila specializes in understanding healthy thoughts and emotions to address mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, panic, and post-traumatic stress. She has extensive experience working with the Hispanic and Latinx communities. Her goal is to help people feel their best and find a true connection with themselves and others.
