Dr. Timothy Silvestri

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • Allentown, PA


I work with adolescents and adults who want more than just healing and coping-I help folks connect the dots for how to live a more successful and joyful life. About half of my practice is focused on performance psychology, while the other half focuses on overcoming depression, trauma, and anxiety. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, driven, and curious. They're not only looking to feel better-they want to know why they feel the way they do. As I often say: descriptions can validate, but explanations heal. Together, we connect the dots between your experiences, patterns, and goals in order to thrive.

The strongest thing someone can do is ask for and accept help. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my goal is to support as many persons in reaching their treatment goal in as a productive and growth mindset way possible. I believe it is important to utilize my education and social work and experience in PHP level of care to support and educate individuals surrounding Mental Health. I have 3 years experience within a partial hospitalization programming system and have experience working with a wide range of Mental Health diagnosis. These opportunities have given me experience in working with individuals who could benefit from support with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, school and work stress as well as crisis management.
