Caleen DeSilva

Hello, I'm Caleen DeSilva, LCSW

Mostly known as Ms. C, I am a licensed therapist with nearly a decade of experience providing compassionate, client-centered therapy. I am mindful of each client’s unique needs and the goals they wish to address, and I work collaboratively to create a supportive and safe space for healing and growth.

I earned my Master’s degree from Barry University and have worked with individuals across all age groups from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds. I am driven by a genuine desire to help clients feel understood, empowered, and supported throughout their therapeutic journey.

My primary areas of expertise include trauma‐focused therapy, depression, anxiety, mood and behavioral concerns, anger management, and ADHD. I tailor my approach to meet each client where they are, honoring their experiences while fostering resilience and positive change.

My approach to therapy is client‐centered, compassionate, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to work toward their personal goals. I use trauma‐informed, evidence‐based practices and tailor treatment to meet each client’s unique needs, experiences, and background.

During the first session, we will focus on getting to know one another and building a comfortable, supportive foundation for therapy. I will take time to understand your concerns, goals, and what brings you to therapy, while also answering any questions you may have.

We will review what you can expect from the therapeutic process, discuss your needs, and outline how I can support you. My goal is for you to leave your first session with a clear understanding of your treatment options, next steps, and what will be provided in therapy, so you feel informed, supported, and confident moving forward.
