Rita de Cassia Silva

Life can be a challenge at times. If you feel discouraged, hopeless, anxious, sad and distressed you are not the only one. Sometimes it is hard to just wake up in the morning, trapped in a negative frame of mind. Past traumatic experiences hold us hostage with memories that interfere with our daily functioning. We want to feel good about ourselves, but we do not know how and what to do about it. We want better relationships. Our children and teenagers are facing difficulties with bullying, depression, anger, anxiety, and ability to focus.​ These issues affect their mental, physical and academic development. Therapy can help. I am specialized in trauma, depressive symptoms, anxiety, obsessive compulsivity, and other related issues that negatively impact our lives. My goal is to help you process your thoughts and feelings and learn new coping skills. I use an integrative holistic approach integrating the mind, soul and body, meditation and mindfulness in my sessions. I know that taking the first step and make an appointment with a therapist can be daunting. But, I also know that a marathon starts with a single step. Whenever you are ready, I will be happy to meet you &support you on your journey. Together we will find the best way to improve your daily life and meet your personal goals. I speak Portuguese & Spanish.
