Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I am the wife of a veteran, and mother of three. I have been working with children, families and couples for over 20 years. I believe in empowering others and helping them find their own peace. I will work with you, meeting you where you are at, allowing you to work at your own pace. I have always had a calling to help and to heal using humor with a shared understanding of this thing, we call life, and the trials that come with it. I'm here to assist clients to understand that there is another side; and on that side there is hope. I graduated from USC, have been trained in several ways to do heal emotional wounds. Together we can work on anything from simple life issues, ADHD, all things to include extreme trauma(s) such as such as domestic violence. Behavioral issues between parent and child are also a specialty. One of the biggest rewards is watching clients achieve the goals that they set for themselves, and finally realizing that they were able to do what they never thought was possible.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Boca Raton, FL


Hi, I'm Doni Silverstein. I've spent over a decade helping individuals and couples work through some of life's heaviest challenges. Many of my clients come to me struggling with anxiety, the relentless pull of OCD, addictions that have taken over more of life than they want, financial behaviors that feel out of control, or the deeper weight of trauma, depression, grief, or relationship pain. Whatever you bring into the room, my goal is to help you understand it clearly and start moving through it instead of around it.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Milton, FL


If you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, PTSD, depression, stress, or men’s emotional health, I’m here to help you get grounded, clear, and moving forward. I offer telehealth across Florida and in person sessions in Pace Fl (32571) and I’m currently accepting new clients.

I bring a unique perspective to therapy after spending 18 years as a law enforcement officer, working in high‐stress environments and walking with people through the hardest moments of their lives. Today, I use that experience—along with my formal clinical training—to support adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by life.
