About

Hello, I’m Dr. Silva. 

As the Clinical Director at the Elgin office of Bridgeview Counseling Services, I specialize in helping individuals heal from trauma and create meaningful change in their lives. With a deep commitment to supporting clients through their emotional struggles, I utilize evidence-based approaches like Narrative Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to empower individuals to reframe their experiences and process distressing memories. 

Here at Bridgeview Counseling Services, know it takes a lot of vulnerability to open up and talk about sensitive topics in therapy, so our first priority is creating a comfortable and home-like environment where you can feel heard without judgment. 

We understand that some of our patients are recovering after bad experiences in therapy, so we try to see who you are as a whole person, not just your diagnosis. We make an effort to get a clear picture of the real causes that have brought you to the present moment so we can help in the most effective way or connect you with the resources you need.  

Your mental health deserves the best care.  At Bridgeview Clinical Services, we offer tailored therapy solutions designed to meet your unique needs. From individual and family therapy to OCD-specific treatment, virtual reality therapy, and corporate wellness workshops, our services empower you to thrive—mind, body, and spirit.
