Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • St. Petersburg, FL


Hi, I’m Sylvie Silva (she/her), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified Gestalt Therapist with over 7 years of experience supporting individuals and families through meaningful, holistic healing. I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults navigating identity, relationships, trauma, and life transitions.

My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in presence. I integrate Gestalt Therapy with Transpersonal, Depth, and mindfulness-based practices, offering a therapeutic space where every part of you is welcome—mind, body, and spirit. Clients often come to me looking for something deeper: healing that’s not just about symptom relief, but about reconnection to self, clarity of purpose, and real transformation.

I am proud to provide affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals and families, and I center my work around the unique needs and strengths of BIPOC clients. My background includes training in wilderness therapy, Eastern psychology, child-centered modalities, and attachment-focused work. Whether we’re exploring childhood wounds, present-day stressors, or spiritual growth, I meet clients with nonjudgment, curiosity, and a strong belief in their inner capacity to heal.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Lutz, FL

Searching for therapists in Lutz starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and therapy approaches that align with your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy. A therapist’s profile can also show what to expect from their style, areas of focus, and session approach.

In a smaller city like Lutz, nearby in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual appointments can expand your choices across Florida while still letting you choose a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. When narrowing your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, experience, and whether the therapist’s approach matches what you are looking for.

Therapy in Lutz can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, check your benefits, and see your estimated cost before you book. You can review therapist profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you are ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
