MICHAEL J SILVIA, LICSW, PsyD
Welcome!
Counseling only available
by Teletherapy or Phone.
I mentioned in a published book that the most courageous people I meet are those individuals who sit with me in my office. I truly believe in the human potential to improve and survive. You as a client hold the key to your success and it is up to me to facilitate the process in order to find it. Using a humanistic approach in therapy allows the necessary sensitivity and understanding to reach counseling goals. I ensure that these ingredients create the foundation of my Practice. The journey to healing and peace is sometimes long and difficult but always worth it.
Most of my Practice specializes in disorders associated with depression and anxiety in addition to dynamics that negatively impact couples and family systems. Whether you experience Phobias, ADHD, General Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Bipolar, BPD, etc. to live in this world of anticipatory chaos is frightening. In addition, negative dynamics in a couple or family system can lead to divorce or family crisis. My goal in therapy is to create change in a client's perception in order to improve quality of life.
As a former Educator I created and incorporate Student-Centered Therapy into my approach for College students who are in need of help. This newly devised approach uses accountability as the foundation for academic enhancement or change. Once eliminating stress I believe that all students can learn "how to balance academic discipline and a fun social life " in order to succeed.
I hope that if you choose to enter psychotherapy/counseling, whether with my office or elsewhere, that your experience is positive and worthwhile
