Portland, ME

No two people are the same. Therefore, I strive to provide treatment that fits each person’s unique needs and goals. I work to foster a partnership with each individual that respects their own problem-solving style while providing additional tools to address unmet needs. I believe that everyone has strengths and challenges. Our work together can fortify those strengths while mitigating challenges to reduce stress and suffering in daily life. <script src="https://thrivingcampus.com/verified.js?pid=17291"></script>

Many of the students I work best with are high-achieving, thoughtful, and often harder on themselves than anyone else could be. They may look like they have it all together on the outside, but inside, they feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of who they really are. Some are navigating perfectionism, burnout, or relationship stress. Others are adjusting to big life changes like leaving home, figuring out their identity, or questioning their future. If you're someone who’s used to pushing through and holding it all in, therapy can be a space to slow down, be honest, and feel more like yourself again. My goal is to help you build clarity, balance, and self-trust so you can feel grounded even when life is uncertain.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Camillus, NY

I’m passionate about supporting first‑generation students, students from marginalized backgrounds, and students of color, as they navigate the emotional, cultural, and academic pressures that come with being the first in their families to walk these paths. My goal is to help students build a more harmonious, grounded, and empowered experience during their time on campus. I work with individuals experiencing: • Adjustment‑related stress, including transitions into college or new environments • Cultural transitions and the unique pressures faced by first‑generation students • Distorted eating patterns, emotional overwhelm, and challenges with emotion regulation My therapeutic approach integrates DBT and multimodal strategies, always rooted in cultural humility and a commitment to centering each person’s lived experience. I strive to create a space where students feel understood, supported, and equipped to move toward their goals with clarity and confidence. The most efficient way to get started is by visiting my website, reviewing the FAQ section, and completing the new client interest form. This will give me all the information I will need to determine next steps. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your journey.

Psychologist
In-Person & Online
Waterford, CT

Welcome—I’m Dr. Holly Silva, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through stress, transitions, and personal challenges. I work with college students and adults who seek practical tools, deeper insight, and lasting change. A significant part of my private practice involves treating employees at numerous Fortune 500 companies and individuals in high-pressure university settings, helping them manage high expectations and stress effectively. *Choosing the right therapist is essential for effective treatment. Training and experience are essential but the therapeutic connection is equally important. One of the best ways to determine if I may be the right fit for you is to read directly from those I’ve worked with. Testimonials available @ https://www.healthgrades.com/providers/holly-silva-xyldnwq Considering the importance of find the right therapist—someone you connect with and who will be available when challenges arise—it’s worth choosing a clinician you can work with not only now, but in the years ahead. This continuity allows you to avoid having to start over or retell your story each time new issues emerge. *Contact me for a complimentary 15-minute consultation @ 860-222-4211. ________________________________________ TRADITIONAL & NON-TRADITIONAL APPROACHES I offer traditional and non-traditional therapeutic approaches, tailored to how each individual processes & heals best. MOVEMENT-BASED TREATMENT: Engage in therapy while staying physically active—benefiting both mind and body. Some options include: -Walk & Talk -Hike & Talk -Golf & Talk -Dink & Talk (Pickleball) CREATIVE & EXPRESSIVE TREATMENT: Designed for individuals who process emotions most effectively through creativity and self-expression. Some options include: -Art -Music/Lyrics -Writing -Film -Gardening -Lunch/Coffee *Depending on location, the services above may be offered in person, with many also available virtually. ________________________________________ WHY A NON-TRADITIONAL APPROACH? Research shows that many people feel more comfortable when not sitting face-to-face. Nature, movement, and alternative environments often create deeper emotional openness and personal breakthroughs. ________________________________________ FLEXIBLE FORMATS -In-Person -Virtual (Computer/Mobile) -Phone ________________________________________ SPECIALITIES -Anxiety & Depression -Relationship & Interpersonal Challenges -Career & Academic Stress -Burnout & Life Transitions -Self-Esteem -Trauma, including *Sexual Abuse -The Unique Challenges of Wealth -Group Therapy ________________________________________ UNDERSTANDING THE “WHY” Sustainable change requires understanding the root of our behaviors—why we think, feel, and respond the way we do. That insight is at the core of the work we’ll do together. ________________________________________ HAPPINESS & GOAL ORIENTED GROUPS Available for: -Universities -Families & Friends ________________________________________ A PERSONAL NOTE: MY FORENSIC WORK RELATED TO SEXUAL ABUSE As a survivor of sexual abuse, I became deeply driven to understand why—why someone would inflict such harm. That question led me into forensic psychology, where I spent 10 years treating sexual offenders, individuals widely despised by society. Over time, I realized that preventing future harm required helping offenders understand the origins of their actions. Few psychologists—especially survivors who fully grasp the impact—choose this path. But I knew that without effective treatment, the cycle continues. My mission became clear: NO MORE VICTIMS. ______ Holly A. Silva, Psy.D. Licensed Clinical Psychologist CT | NY | VA 📞 860-222-4211 📧 drhollysilva@gmail.com

Pound Ridge, NY

Historically, I have worked with children and adults processing trauma, and supported those diagnosed with ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression. However, in recent years I have begun to narrow my focus on supporting University students. At this time in history I feel supporting the mental health of this group is of the utmost importance as they face existential and emotional challenges unique to the generations that have come before. Using a combination of creative interventions and talk therapy techniques, I offer a unique and collaborative therapeutic experience to support individuals through the transitional space of University life and provide a safe and affirming space for them to reflect on who they are and who they want to be in this world.

Albany, NY

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to supporting college students as they navigate the emotional, academic, and personal challenges of this season of life. College can be a time of growth and discovery, but it can also bring stress, anxiety, identity questions, relationship concerns, and past wounds to the surface. As a faith-centered, trauma-informed therapist, I am committed to helping individuals find emotional healing, clarity, and peace. Therapy is a space where you don’t have to have everything figured out; it’s a place to slow down, reflect, and begin healing at your own pace. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, grounded in the belief that true transformation happens when we feel safe, supported, and truly seen. Together, we will work to build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and develop healthy coping tools so you can move forward with confidence and hope.
