More about Sylvia

  • 25 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

At The Healing Mind Collaborative, my mission as a bilingual/bicultural Spanish/English clinician with 20 + years of experience is to provide a comprehensive, healing-focused approach that addresses the impact of past experiences on your present life. I believe that by processing and healing old wounds, you can free yourself from the triggers that cause distress and shape your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors today. My goal, along with my team of trained clinicians and registered associates, is to help you break free from the past, and approach life with a renewed sense of peace and confidence.

My purpose is to help you heal current distress affecting your mind and body by processing and healing past wounds, so they no longer trigger reactions in your life. Rooted in Attachment Theory, we use EMDR, bilateral stimulation, and evidence-based therapies in a collaborative, supportive environment to promote profound healing and growth.

I understand how painful navigating life can be, and want to help you transform the way you see yourself and the world. Give yourself the opportunity to experience life from a healed perspective. My highly skilled trainees have immediate openings at a reduced session rate - without compromising skill or care. Your journey to healing begins with us.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
