College can be overwhelming — especially when stress, anxiety, trauma, or life transitions start to feel heavier than expected. Many students I work with feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected from themselves while trying to keep up with academic, social, and personal pressures. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start therapy. My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and grounded in real, honest conversation. I create a supportive, non-judgmental space where we can explore what’s coming up for you, build self-awareness, and develop tools that feel realistic for your life right now. Together, we focus on strengthening self-confidence, emotional regulation, and coping skills while moving at a pace that feels manageable. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and centered on helping you feel more connected to yourself as you navigate this stage of life.

Welcome—I’m Dr. Holly Silva, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through stress, transitions, and personal challenges.

A significant part of my private practice involves treating employees at numerous Fortune 500 companies and individuals in high-pressure university settings, helping them manage high expectations and stress effectively. *Choosing the right therapist is essential for effective treatment.

That question led me into forensic psychology, where I spent 10 years treating sexual offenders, individuals widely despised by society. Over time, I realized that preventing future harm required helping offenders understand the origins of their actions. Few psychologists—especially survivors who fully grasp the impact—choose this path. But I knew that without effective treatment, the cycle continues. My mission became clear: NO MORE VICTIMS. ______ Holly A. Silva, Psy.D. Licensed Clinical Psychologist CT | NY | VA 📞 860-222-4211 📧 drhollysilva@gmail.com

Specializing in identity development and substance use treatment, I work with young people and adults as a Resident in Counseling to help them develop the capacity to fully experience their emotions, and to learn from the powerful wisdom those emotions carry. Whether you're navigating mental health challenges, substance use, men’s issues, or questions of identity and purpose, my focus is on helping you connect more deeply with yourself. I believe in authenticity and transparency in the counseling space. Our relationship is an equal partnership, and I invite you to ask questions about the treatment process and advocate for any needs you have along the way. As a person-centered and relational therapist, I'm passionate about helping people learn how to truly feel. Sessions are always a safe space to express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment, as I ensure a grounded, empathetic, and goal-oriented approach at all times. Using a blend of psychodynamic and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques tailored to your unique goals and cultural values, I help you build awareness of your here-and-now experiences and connect with what those experiences are telling you. My path to becoming a therapist came from my own challenges with identity and purpose. After an unsuccessful bout as a college computer engineer student, I faced a crisis of identity — and was forced to reckon with who I was and what I wanted to do. Pursuing those questions led me to a deep passion for the existential questions of life, and ultimately to a sense of purpose I hadn't found before. That experience is what drives my commitment to helping others connect with themselves and lead lives that feel authentic. Skiing, reading, video games, and traveling are some of my favorite ways to spend time. But what I love most? A good DIY home improvement project!

As a therapist, I my role in working with clients is to support them in gaining the confidence to find their voice and to move from this space with purpose and compassion. I am a space holder, compassionate witness, boundary-lover and hopeful human. I love emerging adults and believe they are insightful change-makers who are creative, intuitive, and independent. However, they can also feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, anxious, and alone when trying to understand themselves and how they fit into this world.

I strive to create a space where you can feel comfortable taking your shoes and your (metaphorical) mask off.
