Hello! My name is Ellen Silbert. I am a licensed therapist in Massachusetts. I have a Bachelors degree in Social Work from Penn State and a Masters degree in Social Work from New York University. I have been practicing for over 40 years. I have literally worked with populations from birth to death. I worked in the labor and delivery room with teen parents, adoptions, miscarriage and still birth. I've been a youth and family counselor, have an extensive medical background, worked with an elderly population, provide crisis intervention and have years of hospice care experience. I have had a private practice for 35 years. I provide a safe, trusting, confidential environment. Which helps you to feel comfortable to share thoughts, feelings to assist in working through life's complexities. I provide a non-judgmental environment which assists in working through your presenting issues. I am committed to my clients, encourage emails and contact from clients between sessions if needed. Please feel free to reach out for a free 15 minute consultation. Thanks so much for viewing my profile. I wish you all the best. Be good to yourself! Ellen Silbert, LICSW

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I feel it is important to start our first session with the reasons that brought you to therapy. I start where you are at. I want you to take some techniques with you from the very beginning of our relationship to assist in coping with your presenting issues. We will unravel your past and history as we progress in our sessions. Our initial main goal is to begin to diminish your stress level and resolve the presenting issues bringing you to therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider are the ability to engage with people and provide a safe trusting environment. I like to give people " a bag of tricks" suggestions on how to cope. Concrete ways of dealing with life's stressor.
