Alexandra Thrash Associate Clinical Social Worker #119239
I believe therapy is a space where you can feel heard, supported, and comfortable being yourself. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and families as they navigate anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationships, and other challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized, with the goal of helping clients better understand themselves, build confidence and coping skills, and create meaningful change. I incorporate CBT, DBT, ACT, and family-focused approaches to support clients in developing healthy ways to navigate emotions, relationships, and everyday challenges.
Viviana Silva Associate Marriage & Family Therapist #164846, Associate Professional Clinical Counselor #23409
I am here to provide a safe, compassionate, and unconditional space where you can feel heard, supported, and comfortable being your authentic self.
I take a person-centered approach, allowing you to guide what feels most important to explore in therapy. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and create meaningful, lasting change.
For the past 10 years, I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds and walks of life. My experience includes supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use and recovery, grief and loss, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, postpartum transitions, blended family dynamics, life transitions, financial stress, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and other personal challenges that can impact overall well-being.
My goal is to create a therapeutic space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered. Together, we can recognize your strengths, build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and work toward greater peace, confidence, and hope. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges, embrace growth, and create a life that is meaningful and fulfilling.

We remain committed to supporting your mental health with compassion, professionalism, and confidentiality through our mental health counseling services.
