Hi there, William Silverstone here. I have always enjoyed relating to people. I like helping people get in touch with their innermost desires and dreams. We’ll identify any barriers you may be encountering and design a manageable game plan to help you overcome these hurdles and get you back in your proper stride. I have experience as a Clinical Social Worker counseling adult and geriatric patients in long-term care settings as well as providing counseling to adults and couples at a mental health facility, as a Licensed Social Worker providing behavioral health counseling to clients in a recovery setting. I have also worked as a Licensed Social Worker coordinating care and handling case management as part of a care team, and in the role of CPST (Community Psychiatric Supportive Treatment) helping patients to monitor and reduce the severity of their symptoms. I work with all types of patients using an eclectic approach to determine the best treatment that is most likely to help you be successful based on each individual's particular situation, background and experience.
In our initial session we’ll get to know each other. I’ll gather information about your life experiences and what areas you would like to address. I’ll answer your questions about counseling and what you would like to achieve in our collaboration. We’ll discuss your goals in life and what might be getting in the way of achieving them. I would be most interested in speaking with you regarding any mental health concerns you may have and what areas we can work on together and build an open nurturing safe space and forge a collaborative connection to help you make a straightforward plan to get your life back on track!
I have experience as a Clinical Social Worker counseling adult and geriatric patients in long-term care settings as well as providing counseling to adults and couples at a mental health facility for the past two years. Prior to this, I worked as a Licensed Social Worker over 14 years in a variety of roles in diverse environments including providing behavioral health counseling to clients in a recovery setting, coordinating care and handling case management as part of a medical health care team, and in the role of CPST (Community Psychiatric Support Treatment). I enjoy meeting new people and figuring out what makes them tick. I have an engaging personality and a helpful nature. My curiosity allows me to probe the depths of your mind and ask the right questions and work towards understanding the root causes of your concerns and then create a plan to help you come to terms with your personal demons. I am passionate social worker who is dedicated to helping clients from a variety of backgrounds.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how our thought patterns and behaviors guide a person’s feelings. Distorted thought patterns can lead to mental health disorders, but these distortions can be changed to eliminate troublesome symptoms. Fortifying your personal toolkit of coping skills can allow you to better navigate life’s hurdles and help transform you into the best version of yourself to reach the optimum level of achievement that you deserve.
Humanistic Counseling is based on the idea that we as individuals already possess the qualities needed to thrive as human beings.

Narrative Therapy helps empower individuals to become experts in their own lives. Everyone has their own unique life story to tell. Using a nonjudgmental, respectful approach, we can work together to rewrite your personal life script in a way that corresponds with your own life goals.
