Sylvie Fanous-Samaan Silva

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • <1 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.

Margaret Clark

Therapist

In-person • <1 mi away • St. Petersburg, FL


I find purpose and satisfaction in providing A.R.T. (Accelerated Resolution Therapy)along with other time tested evidenced-based therapeutic tools. After talk therapy alone, I was continually hijacked by my past experiences and my battery was low. I had repetitive doubts, tears, and triggers. A.R.T. connected new pathways in my brain which allowed me to reset and move forward. Today, I enjoy nature, spending time with family and friends, art, paddle boarding and meditation.

Hello and welcome!

As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 20 years experience, I believe our relationships are central and vital to our happiness - they can enrich us, and/or bring us pain.

I help couples work through major life issues, decide if they want to stay together, and enact that decision with respect for each person. We dig deep and have the difficult conversations in a safe environment.

All relationships are embraced and affirmed.

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 Therapist in Saint Petersburg

Searching for therapists in Saint Petersburg starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what they focus on, and what a first session may include.

In St. Petersburg, your search may include therapists near downtown, Historic Kenwood, Grand Central, Old Northeast, or nearby parts of Pinellas County. You may prefer an in-person office that fits your commute, or virtual therapy that works better with your schedule. Beyond location, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication styles, therapy structure, and experience with concerns like st. Petersburg counseling, couples counseling in St. Petersburg, FL, or individual therapy in St. Pete.

Therapy in Saint Petersburg can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care starts. Headway helps you find therapists in St. Petersburg, FL who are accepting new patients and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan before booking. You can browse profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
