Dr. Maria da Silva

My approach is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping you understand not only what you are feeling, but why. I believe therapy works best when you gain tools and insight that you can use outside of our sessions. We will look at patterns that may be keeping you stuck and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Together, we will identify what is getting in the way of the life you want and develop practical ways to move forward. I will help you examine patterns in your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behaviors while building skills you can use in everyday life. Therapy with me is an active process—we work together.

My clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to, while also being direct and practical. I provide a supportive space without simply agreeing with everything you say. I will ask questions, help you see things from different perspectives, and encourage you to make changes that matter to you.
