Silvia is a social and empathetic person. She is a wife, a mother and a psychological counselor. As a mental health enthusiast with a great interest in trauma and addiction, she explores healthy coping mechanisms for trauma victims to enable them lead happy lives. She seeks to offer a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients to get help in dealing with their life challenges and past trauma experiences. Out of her curiosity to understand what hinders human beings from leading happy lives, she chose to learn more about human behavior. She has been attending to clients from all ethnicities and religions, with various issues like different types of addiction and trauma, abuse, and loss and grief, among others. She focuses on humanistic theories; (person-centered), psychoanalytic, solution-focused , and cognitive behavioral therapy depending on the issues the client presents. Together with eclectic approach, these theories help explore unresolved issues in a safe surrounding, while applying the core conditions, restructuring of irrational thoughts and helping formulate appropriate action plans. She believes through these broad approaches, she can help more people lead happy and content lives.
