Silvina Falcon Levine, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I welcome the opportunity to join in your journey towards a better life. The internal turmoil and external struggles you may be currently facing are very difficult to endure. Sadness, anxiety or relationship difficulties pose real barriers to your ability to appreciate yourself and experience joy. The negative thoughts and emotions are powerful forces that taint the view of yourself, others, and the world around you. They cause unnecessary pain and suffering, as they filter your perception of the past, the present, and the future, in a never-ending pattern of defeat. With my professional guidance and your courage, we can bring more happiness, confidence, and satisfaction in your personal connections. My therapeutic approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and insight-oriented interventions to help identify the negative beliefs that have prevented you from achieving your goals and experience happiness. Together we will build a caring and supportive environment to help you rise above your suffering and expand your capacity for work, love, and experience genuine connections. Through our encounters, you will learn new skills that will help you overcome the adversities that life presents. Please visit my website to explore my professional services to get started.

My client-focused approach relies on building a strong therapeutic alliance where clients feel respected and supported. Through a partnership, clients can identify and prioritize the problems they wish to address in treatment, and we then conjointly choose the best practices in order to achieve the therapeutic goals we want to pursue. I viewed clients as experts on themselves and their active participation in treatment as the engine that promotes change. As a mental health professional, I am committed to using evidence-based techniques that have been shown to produce measurable results. I rely on testing throughout the therapeutic process to assess the changing needs clients may have as well as their progress. The measures obtained before and after sessions provide a clear picture of the quality of the therapeutic experience and the effectiveness of the methods we have used. I have been trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities and have extensive expertise in addressing a wide range of difficulties and disorders. Some of the modalities that I utilize include: TEAM Therapy Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy ( CBT ) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia ( CBTI ) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR ) Trauma-Informed Interventions
