My name is Phil Silverman, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA. I work primarily from a psychodynamic framework, with a focus not only on symptom relief but on making substantive changes and assisting individuals in breaking free from unhealthy and unhelpful patterns impacting their well-being, career, and relationships. Traumas can result in unconscious "triggers" that wreak havoc on a person’s goals for health, intimacy, success, sense of connection, or even the ability to process grief, and can manifest in the form of unmanageable anxiety, depression, substance use, existential dilemmas, self-sabotage, feeling stuck, etc.

Most of us have struggled at some point with some form of stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and various relationships. Obtaining clarity and relief is often achievable much sooner than realized by understanding your current attitudes, beliefs, and experiences utilizing traditional talk therapy along with mindfulness skills. Learning how to obtain a calmer energy more quickly and effectively when stress arises is foundational for our improved moods and relationships.

I provide evidence brain-based EMDR & Brainspotting to support the mental health & treatment of sports performance problems caused by significant negative experiences or injury. Those experiences can lead to performance problems commonly known as a slump, a block, and yips, which then can lead to Lost Move Syndrome (LMS). By reprocessing how the brain digested the significant negative memory, we can reset the brain and nervous system to return the Athlete to peak performance. Peak Performance also helps to “install” positive programming for future tasks, challenges, and high stakes events.

I have been working in psychology for 11 years. I truly love that my profession allows me to help people. I am thankful for the opportunity to work with individuals who are struggling, but are still able to allow me the privilege of assisting with their healing. I strongly believe that a central element to healing is the therapeutic relationship. This relationship is made primary in treatment to provide safety and the space necessary to process one's pain. It is the combination of a strong therapeutic relationship and the emotional space it affords, that allows significant healing to occur.

Greetings! In searching for a therapist you seek someone who is capable of listening to you and truly hearing. It is essential that your therapist is able to understand your 'starting point' in order to help you pursue your personal and relationship objectives. It is my honor to assist you. In my profession it is rare to find a therapist who has remained in face-to-face counseling for the duration of his/her career. With gratitude I can say God has blessed me as a counselor bringing help to many hurting and dismayed individuals, couples and families.

Men in this season can and do “get better”.
Therapy is about the connection between you and me. This is the beginning of a profound review of one's life that points to a future with less pain. My calling is to be in this process with you to better health. My speciality is Men. In today's culture they are often left behind; yet men struggle with: lack of purpose, sadness, anxiety, trying to figure out who they are-just like anyone else. James Hollis puts it this way…“Who Am I apart from my history and the roles I have played?” Perhaps you feel the dreams of youth have been derailed or are inconsistent with where you thought you’d be now. Let’s take a look.

Feeling overwhelmed with managing in this fast paced world? Life is complex and it's often hard to handle the situations we face each day. Whether figuring out what to do about challenging children, issues in a close relationship, or which way to go as you move forward in life, uncertainties can stop anyone in their tracks. Few things are worse than feeling stuck and struggling when it seems like everyone else has it all figured out. It doesn't have to be that way. Things change, children mature, and if we're watching we find opportunities to heal, learn, and grow.

My area of expertise is romantic love and relational compatibility. In addition to helping clients cope with anxiety and depression, I help them avoid the relationship mistakes most people make and learn how to find and foster a successful relationship. I have been teaching seminars on love and marriage for 26 years. While my clients find my style sensitive and supportive, they also appreciate that I go beyond active listening and reflection and challenge them with questions that lead them to deeper levels of insight and awareness.

My focus is on the treatment of trauma, and how trauma manifests itself in each of my clients' lives. Untreated trauma often shows itself as substance abuse, depression, compulsive overeating, or compulsive sexual behavior. Or trauma and substance abuse may make it difficult for us to make vital life transitions and transformations. We get stuck... so to speak. If this sounds like you, I want to provide a safe space to explore your concerns. I have both weekday video sessions and live Saturday sessions available. I primarily use Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to treat trauma.
