Dr. Danielle Hadeed de Silva

How would you describe your approach to care?

I believe in building trust with my clients by being genuine, warm, and compassionate. My goal is always to create a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions openly, and feel heard and understood. I’m trained in multiple modalities, which means treatment is personalized to each individual and shaped through supportive, collaborative conversations. Through our work together, my hope is that you’ll feel empowered to make meaningful changes in your life and ultimately experience a greater sense of fulfillment overall.

What should be expected in the first session?

Think of our first session as a gentle “get to know you” consultation. We’ll start by covering the essentials, like confidentiality and other important policies, so you know exactly how our sessions work. From there, the floor is yours. I’ll ask some questions about what brings you in, your family history, and past experiences to get a fuller picture of your world, but there is no pressure to share more than you are comfortable with. Most importantly, we’ll talk about your goals for therapy. This is also a chance for you to see how I work. A strong therapeutic alliance is key, and I want you to feel safe, heard, and respected from the very start.
