Getting to know Silvia Kaunas
I am a New York State Certified Mental Health Therapist and a bilingual (English/Spanish) Clinical Psychologist in Ecuador, providing direct psychological counseling services. I hold a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Touro University, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to support my clients effectively.
I specialize in working with diverse and vulnerable populations and conduct psychosocial evaluations for immigration cases, including VAWA law cases, waivers, and political asylum. Being bilingual and bicultural allows me to connect with many individuals in need of psychological support. I provide guidance to children, adolescents, adults, and families.
My approach to counseling is multicultural, particularly for clients who are immigrants or come from immigrant families in the United States. I use a multilevel model of psychotherapy grounded in social justice and human rights, offering a culturally sensitive framework to apply cognitive, affective, and behavioral interventions.
