Kery Silva

My communication style

Clients describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and straightforward. I listen actively, ask thoughtful questions, and provide respectful feedback. My tone is collaborative and supportive. Humor can have a place in therapy, and I work to balance addressing serious topics with creating a comfortable environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to social work after seeing how a lack of access to mental health care impacted my community. I developed a special interest in supporting LGBTQ individuals and families dealing with complex challenges. My experiences taught me the power of empathy and cultural humility, which continue to guide my practice today.

My goals for you

We'll begin by identifying what you'd like to gain from therapy—reducing anxiety, building healthier relationships, improving mood, or learning to cope with stress. We'll establish realistic goals and check in regularly. Using CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, we'll practice new skills and challenge unhelpful thoughts.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, review your history, and talk about what you hope to accomplish. I'll explain confidentiality, answer questions, and outline how sessions work. The goal is to create a comfortable, non-judgmental space where you can share your story.
