Darlene Da Silva, LCSW

Welcome to Blooming SanaMente Therapy! I am Darlene Da Silva, California Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am a first generation Latina of Mexican and Portuguese descent, mom, wife, and eldest daughter to a single mom. I enjoy being inspired by nature, travel, music and a good book. I am also no stranger to grief, loss, childhood adversity and the benefits that come with finding a supportive therapist to help make sense of big feelings and life changing events. My focus is to support women with a strong desire to heal from experiences tied to the first gen experience, intergenerational cycles, and early childhood trauma. As a trauma informed therapist, I incorporate mind and body practices to help support overall healing. I encourage you to reconnect with the essence of your true self, one who is well, and feels whole and complete as they are and can trust the process of life. I believe wholeheartedly that the foundation of feeling comfortable and seeing growth in therapy is the therapist-client relationship. I focus on providing a warm, supportive approach while facilitating insight and inviting you to share any and all feelings. In my practice, I integrate EMDR, CBT, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness and Somatic interventions to help address the unique challenges you may be facing. We will work collaboratively on developing goals that support your individual needs. We can connect for a free 15 minute consultation to talk more about what you're experiencing and I can help answer any questions you may have about what you can expect from therapy with me. Let me help you Bloom SanaMente!
