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.

Paulina Santibanez

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Allentown, PA


Hi, I'm Paulina. I'm a U.S. Army veteran and Pennsylvania native who returned home to earn my Master of Social Work and pursue my passion for helping others as a therapist. I enjoy creating a space where people can openly discuss life's challenges, including grief, loss, anxiety, and depression. My therapy style is practical and solution-focused, with an emphasis on finding what works for you. I see therapy as a collaborative process of learning, experimenting, and adjusting along the way, helping you build tools and strategies that support meaningful, lasting change. When I'm not working, you'll find me cooking, baking, exercising, or spoiling my cat.
