Professional statement
Kathleen Silver is a psychotherapist in Summit, NJ, working with people of all ages and stages, as well as couples.
She specializes in relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and parenting challenges.
Her warm and compassionate style supports clients in better understanding themselves and aspects of their lives they wish to change. Her ability to customize therapy to her clients’ needs enables them to reduce anxiety and/or depression, increase their sense of productivity, and create healthier connections with people in their lives.
In her work with couples, Kathleen uses the Gottman Method to help couples clarify unhealthy relationship habits and develop new ways to communicate and reconnect. Trust, commitment and friendship are central to any healthy partnership, and through couples work, can be rebuilt and nurtured.
