LPC, 22 years of experience
Hi, I'm Sylvia. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, depressed? Feeling like you are not good enough? You are not alone, and you don’t have to face it alone. Whether you are dealing with a specific issue or just feeling like something isn’t right, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to your authentic self. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental, supportive space where you can begin to understand your experiences, heal from past wounds, and create meaningful change.
In our first session, we will look into what you are seeking help with. I will provide empathic, active listening and a non-judgment, supportive environment. You are free to share as much information as you are comfortable sharing. We will work together to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
I believe my strengths as a therapist are that I can provide empathy to my clients including warmth, friendliness, understanding, and affirmation of emotions, to build a therapeutic relationship at the beginning of therapy, providing flexibility by using interventions to fit with my clients' personality, needs, and preferences. I believe in creating an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable enough to speak openly about difficult topics.
I specialize in working with adults that are experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship challenges. .
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients to identify, reframe and challenge negative thought patterns that cause anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. It has been very successful in treating anxiety, depression and low self-esteem issues.
I used Person-centered therapy to empower and motivate my clients in the therapeutic process.
