Stephanie Silva, LCSW

Stephanie Silva, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings extensive experience serving both children and adults in military and civilian communities. She has worked with individuals with special needs, patients recovering from traumatic brain injuries, retirees and veterans, and people affected by domestic violence and other crises. Her career has included diverse roles such as deployment case manager, emergency room social worker, and family advocacy social worker, giving her hands-on experience across many settings.

In those roles she provided care for people impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, suicidal behavior, and substance-related concerns, and worked collaboratively with agencies including Child Protective Services, homeless shelters, battered women shelters, victims' advocates, and Army Community Service personnel. Her work has also involved coordination with other military branches and civilian agencies both in the U.S. and abroad.

Stephanie’s counseling style is understanding and interactive, grounded in respect and compassion. She integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and reality-based methods to craft individualized treatment plans rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. She aims to guide and motivate clients through the sometimes difficult process of change, supporting specific goals and needs along the way.
