Matthias Silcher

I have always been drawn to understanding human behavior and helping others. My journey began with a Master’s in Communication Research in Berlin, Germany. After moving to NYC in 2004, I spent a decade in Market Research, analyzing how people make decisions to meet their needs and desires. While rewarding, I sought a more meaningful way to apply my skills. I earned a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Brooklyn College, training in CBT, DBT, and Psychodynamic Therapy. I worked with fathers returning from prison, supported clients with substance abuse and HIV, and helped individuals navigate anxiety, depression, and trauma. These experiences deepened my empathy and ability to support others in healing and growth.

Therapy with me is a collaborative process—I’m engaged, interactive, and here to help you gain clarity. I specialize in supporting clients through anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and self-doubt. Together, we’ll explore what you want and uncover what’s holding you back. My goal is to help you create real, meaningful change. For over 12 years, I’ve worked with individuals from all backgrounds, guiding those facing relationship and family challenges, trauma, and emotional struggles. If you feel stuck or are simply surviving, you’re not alone. Change is possible. I’m here to support you—reach out, and let’s explore how we can work together.

Clients can expect to take away greater self-awareness, practical coping tools, and a deeper understanding of how their past experiences influence their present. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns, psychodynamic insights to explore the roots of emotional difficulties, and trauma-informed care to ensure a safe and empowering space for healing. Over time, clients often report feeling more in control of their emotions, more resilient in facing challenges, and more aligned with who they want to be
