Silvia Torres

I graduated from Hunter College in 2014 with a MS Ed in Mental Health Counseling. I initially worked in a community based outpatient clinic in Brooklyn, NY. I worked with a varied population with a range of difficulties. I currently work with individuals 14 and up. I use a relational approach to connect with clients as being able to develop a therapeutic relationship is key to be able to assist you with your difficulties.

I consider myself an integrative therapist with a focus on the individual client as whole. I focus on assisting in identifying past and current patterns in thoughts and behaviors that may be contributing to distress. I also use processing techniques to assist in processing trauma. However, I work within a client driven format. What the client brings to session is what we focus on.

I hope to provide a safe and compassionate space where a client feels comfortable to process difficult emotions, explore problematic thought patterns, and gain a better understanding of their reactions to different situations, and experience emotional growth.
