I provide experiential-based counseling services for all ages. It is important to me that you have an experience in therapy that is uniquely yours. Standard talk therapy is not for everyone and that is why I offer other options that you may find more therapeutic and beneficial. During your intake consultation, I will help you choose a path that will best meet your needs.

Margaret Silva

Margaret Silva

Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


Hello! I'm Margaret Silva, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with resilience, creativity, and confidence. I believe that therapy should be as dynamic and unique as the people I work with. Rather than just sitting and talking, my practice often incorporates creative, activity-based interventions—such as art, games, and media—to make the therapeutic process engaging, accessible, and deeply meaningful. I specialize in helping clients build vital social-emotional skills, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop practical problem-solving strategies for everyday life. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and PTSD, OCD, ADHD, grief and loss, relationship issues, family issues, behavioral challenges, and life transitions. I also welcome clients working through men's issues, women's issues, identity, and infertility or pregnancy loss. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative, and uplifting space where you (or your child) feel truly heard, supported, and empowered to grow!

Dr. Shannon Lewis

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Alabama


I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of nursing experience, including ED psychiatric crisis care and extensive work with geriatric patients with dementia and their families. I provide behavioral health evaluation, crisis-focused intervention, emotional regulation support, and structured therapeutic exercises for children, teens, adults, and caregivers. My focus includes anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, emotional eating, and behavioral patterns affecting weight and functioning.

I do not provide medication management, but I refer patients to prescribing providers and offer clinical recommendations to support continuity of care. My approach centers on assessment, stabilization, and practical behavioral strategies that patients continue at home to reinforce healing.

Thank you, Shannon Lewis, PMHNP-BC, DNP
