Cristina Dasilva

I believe that healing begins with feeling truly heard and understood. With over 26 years of experience in psychology and mental health, I provide compassionate, supportive, and culturally sensitive space where adolescents and adults can safely explore life's challenges. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relantionships difficulties, life transitions, and stress, while helping them build resilience, emotional insight, and lasting change. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

My approach is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in evidence-based care. I integrate psychodynamic psychotherapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR-informed interventions, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness-based strategies, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals. While reducing symptoms is important, I also believe that lasting growth comes from understanding the deeper emotional patterns and experiences that shape how we think, feel, and relate to others.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. I will take time to understand your concerns, personal history, strengths, and goals while creating a space where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. Together, we will identify what is most important to you and begin developing a personalized treatment plan. My hope is that you leave your first session feeling heard, supported, and confident that we can work together toward meaningful change.
