Monica Silva, LCSW — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Monica!

I believe everyone deserves to achieve peace in their lives. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your core issues and work toward meaningful change. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness strategies, and psychoeducation, I help you develop insight, set goals, and take steps toward healing and growth.

My focus

Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or lost? Do you wonder if life can be better? I work with children, adolescents, and adults struggling to navigate life's challenges.

My approach

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you recognize how your thoughts influence your emotions and behaviors. With a mindful approach and tools from my therapeutic toolbox, I can support you in reaching your goals while tracking your progress.

My communication style

Using psychoeducation, mindfulness, and evidence-based approaches, we create a personalized treatment plan to support your goals and empower you to live a more fulfilling life at any age.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always felt a deep calling to help others. Throughout my work with children, adolescents, and adults, I have been continually inspired by their resilience and strength. I consider it a privilege to support others on their journey.

My goals for you

We work together as a team to set realistic goals that align with your needs. As you grow, these goals may evolve, and setbacks may arise, but we navigate them together. I support and guide you as you make progress toward a more fulfilling life.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other. We'll talk about your background, what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to gain. Therapy is a journey, and we'll build on our work together over time. It takes courage to take the first step—you should be proud of yourself.
