Alma D. Silva
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Southern California. I received my master's in social work (MSW) from the University of Southern California (USC) and have been practicing for over 15 years. I help adults struggling with life transitions and stress to improve their quality of life.
My work experience has also led me to clinically supervise new therapists in the field.
Some of my personal strengths include empathy, kindness and a good sense of humor. My work experience has also led me to clinically supervise new therapists in the field.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
Having worked many years in this field, I know how important it is to identify triggers, create manageable treatment goals, and continually check in about our work together.
Ideal clients
I love working with adults that are motivated to see change. Some of my clients need help learning coping skills, restructuring negative thought patterns, and learning behavioral activation techniques to improve their depression and anxiety symptoms.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using CBT in my practice for many years. It has helped many of my clients to challenge and change their unhealthy thoughts to improve their anxiety and depressive symptoms.
