Great to meet you!

My name is Renee Silvestre and I’m a female, Filipino-American therapist from San Diego, CA. I’m passionate about serving young adults who are experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, and/or new major life events. I’m also particularly passionate about serving Asian Americans, who have a shared struggle of keeping our deepest traumas and hurt a secret. I am here to guide you through the process of confronting and healing that hurt, to unearth your strongest self.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic modality is molded around each client’s needs but is primarily based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and strength-based, holistic, and humanistic approaches. I am often known for asking the right questions; so that we may discover the right path together. I am your co-pilot through life’s turbulence.

What you can expect from me

I am so excited to meet you, listen to your story, and support your journey. Our first session will be dedicated to gathering history, and narrowing down the focus to what needs you want to address first. From there; we determine together if we may be a good fit. Each session moving forward will have a general structure but is as fluid as life itself!
