Hi, nice to meet you!

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with a heart for walking alongside others while they work through difficulties in life. I believe everyone is valuable, worthy, and deserves to have support when they need it most. I hope to give you a safe, non-judgmental environment to work through any challenges you are facing, whether that be life changes, trauma, betrayal trauma, unwanted sexual behaviors and integrity, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship struggles, or a need to learn and set boundaries.

Dr. Timothy Silvestri

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • Allentown, PA


I work with adolescents and adults who want more than just healing and coping-I help folks connect the dots for how to live a more successful and joyful life. About half of my practice is focused on performance psychology, while the other half focuses on overcoming depression, trauma, and anxiety. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, driven, and curious. They're not only looking to feel better-they want to know why they feel the way they do. As I often say: descriptions can validate, but explanations heal. Together, we connect the dots between your experiences, patterns, and goals in order to thrive.
