About Silvie Wilson

Silvie Wilson is a California-licensed LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) who brings over 10 years of clinical experience to her work with teens, young adults, and Spanish-speaking clients. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and difficulties with self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. Her approach centers on tailoring strategies to each person’s needs, often incorporating somatic techniques - practices that build body awareness to address fears, traumatic responses, and longstanding negative beliefs that can limit personal growth.

Silvie integrates respected personality frameworks such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Enneagram to deepen understanding of a client’s patterns and to make sense of life experiences. She has also studied astrology and may offer related insights when clients express interest in that perspective. Throughout her work she emphasizes that people are the experts in their own stories and that therapy is an opportunity to identify strengths, clarify purpose, and build momentum toward a more hopeful future.

Her therapeutic stance is supportive and empowering, aimed at helping individuals overcome obstacles that interfere with relationships, work, and well-being. Silvie seeks to illuminate personal resources, foster belief in potential, and collaborate with clients as they take the courageous steps necessary for meaningful change.
