Bilingual & Somatic VIRTUAL Therapy for folx seeking deep trauma processing

Trauma Healing takes time and patience, and for a lot of us with Complex Trauma, this may be something we continually manage as life ebbs and flows. However, it doesn’t have to be a life-long pattern of pain and feeling constantly dysregulated. I invite you to feel within that fear/ anxiety/ dysregulation and make meaning from it.

I support folx to heal deep emotional wounds that come from past anxiety, trauma, stress and help them hone-in on their inner experience as a means to gain insight. I offer individual sessions via telehealth for folx in Philadelphia and surrounding counties in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Florida.

My general goal for folx is to help them identify what they need so that they are able to continue on their healing journey, eventually, without my support. I do this by helping you to cultivate self-awareness and expose you to a variety of coping skills. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, anti-racist, anti-fascist, and inclusive in my approach.

Silvina incorporates somatic/ brain-based therapy and parts work, into conventional talk therapy approaches.

Silvina’s approach encompasses her training in Brainspotting Psychotherapy/ Somatics, TIST/ parts work, Narrative Therapy, TF-CBT, Mindfulness, and Breathwork.

BIO
Silvina (she/ her/ ella) is a multi-cultural immigrant from Latin America, who moved to the US in her teens- a crucial time for anyone to go through a culture shock. Silvina’s family were refugees before she was born, and she therefore was born into her family of origin already having experienced Trauma. Silvina believes that while these experiences have left permanent scars in her life (ie Complex Trauma), they have also made her have empathy and deep respect for the difficult emotional experiences of others.

In terms of social locators, Silvina is a cisgender Latiné queer/ pansexual individual in a hetero-normative partnership. She is a parent, a 1.5 gen immigrant and multicultural individual, born and raised in Mexico City by Argentinean parents/ ancestors. Silvina lives in a white and able- body with chronic autoimmune issues.
