Sylvie Fanous-Samaan Silva

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • St. Petersburg, FL


Hi, I’m Sylvie Silva (she/her), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified Gestalt Therapist with over 7 years of experience supporting individuals and families through meaningful, holistic healing. I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults navigating identity, relationships, trauma, and life transitions.

My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in presence. I integrate Gestalt Therapy with Transpersonal, Depth, and mindfulness-based practices, offering a therapeutic space where every part of you is welcome—mind, body, and spirit. Clients often come to me looking for something deeper: healing that’s not just about symptom relief, but about reconnection to self, clarity of purpose, and real transformation.

I am proud to provide affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals and families, and I center my work around the unique needs and strengths of BIPOC clients. My background includes training in wilderness therapy, Eastern psychology, child-centered modalities, and attachment-focused work. Whether we’re exploring childhood wounds, present-day stressors, or spiritual growth, I meet clients with nonjudgment, curiosity, and a strong belief in their inner capacity to heal.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Lakeland, FL

Finding couples therapists in Lakeland starts with naming what you want to work on together. Couples therapy, marriage counseling in Lakeland, FL, and relationship counseling may support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, or parenting disagreements. Look for a therapist whose training matches your needs, since not all therapists have specific couples training. Licensed marriage and family therapists, as well as therapists trained in the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, may be especially relevant.

In a smaller city like Lakeland, local appointment options may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual sessions can expand your options while still letting you choose a Lakeland therapist or a therapist licensed in Florida. Since couples counseling needs to work for both partners, compare appointment times, session format, and whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand how they structure couples sessions, communicate with both partners, and approach relationship concerns.

Therapy in Lakeland can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who offer couples counseling in Lakeland and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan before booking. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, then review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
