Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Brownsville, TX

Hello! My name is Silvana Padmanabhan. I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with over 19 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I graduated with my MSSW degree from the University of Texas at Austin. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, communication difficulties, family of origin issues, and life transitions. I have worked with the civilian and veteran population.

With seven years of experience as a therapist, I am dedicated to supporting individuals and families in achieving greater emotional well-being and personal growth. My approach is centered on creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) with a Master of Arts in Counseling. I currently work in a group practice, and I’m passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and find pathways to healing and growth.

I have experience working with a wide range of clients, from young adults to those navigating end-of-life transitions. My focus areas include anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. I understand how overwhelming life can feel at times, and I’m here to help you explore ways to manage those feelings and take steps toward the life you want to live.

I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is a great tool for addressing negative thought patterns and behaviors. I also find Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to be a powerful approach for helping people live more authentically and in alignment with their values. Whether you're looking to manage stress, navigate grief, or just understand yourself better, we’ll work together to find the tools and strategies that resonate most with you.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My experience includes providing outpatient psychiatric care across the lifespan as well as caring for older adults in assisted living and memory care settings, giving me a broad perspective on mental health across different stages of life. I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related conditions. I work with adolescents ages 13 and older, adults, and older adults who may be struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficulties with focus, mood changes, or the effects of past trauma.

I’ve primarily worked with older adults and people navigating mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and grief, as well as other life challenges. I enjoy getting to know each person and adapting therapy to what feels most helpful for them. I also like bringing humor into sessions when it feels right, helping create a comfortable space where you can be yourself. I welcome LGBTQ+ clients and strive to offer an affirming, positive space.

Example: "I have always wanted a job where I was of service to others, but I didn't know how to channel that into a career until I took an introduction to psychology course in college. We learned a lot about mental illness, what causes it and different ways to treat it, which inspired me to pursue my degree. I loved the idea of helping others overcome mental illness and helping them achieve their life goals."

I am truly passionate about helping you know yourself and build the life you want. My desire is to facilitate an environment that is safe for you to heal and grow.

I have been on a journey to my true calling as a therapist all of my life. My life experiences and subsequent journey for personal insight and healing, coupled with my educational pursuits have equipped me for the work ahead with you. I was built with the empathy, discernment, and compassion to do this. I would love to hear your story today!
