If you've been struggling with thoughts and emotions that are wearing you out...If you've noticed that your self-confidence or relationships are lacking...If you are ready to set out on a new path forward...you are in the right place! I have over a decade of experience counseling youth and adults struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, learning disabilities, relationship conflicts and life transitions.
Drawing from twenty years of experience in education and principal of therapeutic schools, I have developed the art of conflict resolution with reticent learners, with parents, with couples and individuals. I have the skillset to support people and transform their perceptions of self to cope with communication issues, anger, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and trauma. My empathetic approach offers people to find positive and creative techniques. I am highly gifted in working to establish and enhance relationships between parent and child/husband and wife using conflict resolution to create opportunities. As a clinician of almost ten years, I interact exceedingly well with individuals and couples to support positive communication and achieve personal growth whether it be in a marriage, parenting/school skills, or within oneself. My understanding, compassion, and acceptance of people when they enter therapy create a safe and trusting environment to unpack problems and develop strategies that enhance well-being, stability, and alternative perspectives on how to address struggles/conflicts.

I work with individuals and couples who are functioning on the outside but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected in their relationships. I especially enjoy working with men who want a straightforward approach, couples ready for real change, and women who tend to overfunction and feel exhausted by it.
I graduated with honors from National Louis University with my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Valrico
Searching for therapists in Valrico starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Valrico therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to work on. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller community like Valrico, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Florida cities. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Florida. As you narrow options for therapy in Valrico, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Mental health counseling in Valrico, FL can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
