Hi! My name is April Silva and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the State of California. I have 12 years of extensive clinical experience working with people from a diversity of backgrounds and ages in both public and private settings. My focus is assisting people with trauma, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), depression/mood disorders, suicidal thoughts, LGBTQI+ issues, and adjustment disorders.

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

During our first session, the focus will be to create a safe space to share and explore, meanwhile exploring what brings you to therapy in the first place. We will talk about a plan moving forward. This discussion usually involves setting a few general goals for our work together and talking about how frequently we will meet.

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

As a therapist, I feel one of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to meet my client where they are at. Whether this is providing them a safe space to share their vulnerable parts, or learn new ways to respond to lifes challenges, I allow the client to guide their journey of healing.
