• I’m Laura DeSilva, LMHC‐D, a licensed mental health counselor who works with adults navigating unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity development, and major life transitions. In my work, I help clients explore the meaning beneath their struggles and shift their relationship to those experiences. I also offer practical support through coping strategies and trauma‐processing modalities, including EMDR.

I have 25 yrs of experience in a variety of settings including emergency rooms, medical units, long-term care facilities & inpatient mental health units. I have provided hands-on case management, crisis intervention, discharge planning and end-of-life support as well as lead teams in those settings. My goal is to identify client's challenges that cause pain, sadness, frustration, anger and even confusion and help them move forward in living their lives to their fullest potential.

As a seasoned psychotherapist for over 18 years, and as a director of several mental health agencies, my goal is to provide a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship to meet the unique needs of each client. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate, space for my clients. Supporting and assisting my clients on their journey to lead a more productive and positive lifestyle.

I am committed to helping clients achieve a richer sense of self and to develop more fulfilling relationships through a supportive and nurturing environment. Ultimately, providing a path to independence, resilience and a more meaningful life.

My role is to help my clients gain clarity by utilizing effective coping strategies and building the tools necessary to cope with and navigate life’s challenges.

I offer a wide range of services to help individuals overcome anxiety, addiction, anger management issues, attachment issues, depression, stress management , phobias and unresolved trauma.

I believe that everyone has within them an abundant reservoir of love. Oftentimes, our access to this force is obscured by the wear and tear of life - traumatic experiences, structural injustices, interpersonal upheaval, moral injury, spiritual confusion... and the defenses we create to survive in response. At With Love Psychotherapy, my goal is to facilitate a homecoming to this force - for individuals and couples - as they work toward creating a life that feels aligned and meaningful. In this work, there is nothing to be ‘fixed’. There is only the intentional movement toward what serves you.

I’m a dual-licensed psychotherapist (LMHC, LCAT) providing online therapy to adults across New York State.

My work integrates trauma-informed care with evidence-based methods including CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS-informed approaches, and psychodynamic therapy.

I work with adults who appear composed externally yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or relationally stuck beneath the surface. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals navigating demanding professional or personal roles who notice patterns they’re ready to understand and shift.

My style is warm, attuned, and thoughtfully direct. I value depth, clarity, and accountability. Our work focuses on strengthening emotional regulation, deepening insight, and refining relational patterns in ways that support sustainable, meaningful change.

If you’re seeking focused, depth-oriented therapy and are ready to engage thoughtfully in this process, I look forward to the possibility of working together.

I work best with those of you who are ready to get help with your struggles of managing emotions, stress or those who have experienced an event so stressful or hurtful, that you cannot get it out of your mind or cannot stop the painful feelings. I also work well and enjoy working with individuals who simply want to grow by being better people, better communicators, better problem solvers, and who want to be better friends and better family members.
