Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Rockledge, 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.

If you're an adolescent or adult carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, or the kind of exhaustion that comes from navigating life on your own for too long, therapy with me is meant to feel calm, unhurried, and genuinely supportive. I work with teens and adults facing relationship struggles, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, emotional dysregulation, and stress that's hard to shake. I also support parents of children and young adults with ADHD or autism-related needs, and I have experience working with individuals and families facing complex mental health and substance use challenges. My background spans community mental health, crisis stabilization, outpatient care, and hospital settings, so I've sat with a wide range of what people go through.

I have a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Jacksonville University. I’ve been at Wekiva Springs Center since 2022, and have experience with patients all over the spectrum from mood disorders, to substance abuse disorders, anxiety, PTSD, and psychotic disorders.

I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to delivering patient-centered care to people of all ages. Throughout the 20 years I have worked in mental health, I have worked with individuals in all stages of the therapeutic journey. I specialize in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorders and OCD, in addition to other conditions.

I’m Alan Romano, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I believe that many of the struggles we experience are understandable responses to life experiences rather than signs that something is inherently wrong with us.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and later completed training in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness-based practices, psychodynamic principles, and attachment theory. Rather than following a single model, I tailor therapy to each person's unique needs, experiences, and goals.

In therapy, we'll work together to understand not only what is happening in your life today, but also how your experiences, relationships, and nervous system have shaped the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you build insight, strengthen resilience, and develop practical skills that support meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you're navigating trauma, addiction, grief, burnout, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, I strive to provide a compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the healing process.
