About

Hello, I am Joann Silva, Life has a way of constantly throwing the unexpected at us. Do you believe you are not up to the challenges that are piling up? Do you think you are just recycling old life issues? Strategies that used to help you cope do not work or you have outgrown them? No issue is too small or too big. With over 45 years in this field, I believe I have encountered almost every kind of human trauma and can help you bring yourself back to peacefulness and joy in living. I have years of being a great listener - funny and heartfelt and skilled at helping my clients to find their confidence and joy and to reset their resilience to tackle life's long list of hits. It is paramount that you have the time to build a safe and open relationship with me, to move at the pace you are comfortable with, and always be supported in seeking the success and courage you have used to get this far. As you educate me about you and your life, and the things that work and do not we will put together the most ancient and newest wisdoms and skills to cope with your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual struggles. We will work to lessen or eliminate those symptoms of distress called anxiety, depression and the myriad of other symptoms that are confusing and overwhelming. We will work to help you find your center, your peace, your passions and use all of the past struggles to empower you again to enjoy all aspects of your daily life. My goal for each session is to lessen your stress or upset, to offer laughter to break up pain, to bring stories and wisdoms to help with your concerns and offer new ways to master the internal and external challenges you are facing. I look forward to walking a bit with you down that road to a new joy.
