Maribel Perez- Silva, ASW(She/Her/Hers)

She is a Walden University graduate and a professional, experienced ASW providing trauma‑focused care across the lifespan. As an EMDR therapist, she works with children as young as 5, teens, adults, and elders, offering a caring and practical approach to healing. Her clinical experience includes supporting clients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, oppositional defiant disorder, and relational challenges within families and couples. She is especially committed to helping children and teens navigate overwhelming emotions, behavioral concerns, and the impact of difficult or traumatic experiences.

Her therapeutic approach is grounded in warmth, steadiness, and a deep respect for each client’s pace. She integrates EMDR with trauma‑informed care, mindfulness strategies, and practical skill‑building to help clients feel safer in their bodies and more confident in their daily lives. Whether she is guiding a young child through emotional regulation, supporting a teen in understanding their identity and stress, or helping an adult process long‑held trauma, she tailors each session to the individual’s developmental stage and unique needs. She believes healing happens through both practical tools and deeper emotional work, and she strives to create a space where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered.

Her professional background includes extensive training in trauma‑focused modalities and experience across diverse clinical settings. She is committed to culturally responsive care and works to ensure that clients and families feel seen, respected, and included throughout the therapeutic process. Her work is guided by the belief that healing is possible at any age and that therapy should feel like a safe, collaborative partnership.

She offers virtual sessions to make therapy accessible and flexible for busy schedules, creating a supportive space where meaningful progress can take root.
