My website
Hi, I’m Dr. Adina Silvestri, LPC. If you’re done with “just cope harder,” you’re in the right place. My work is soul-led and science-backed—integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS), clinical hypnosis, expressive writing, and (when appropriate) ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in collaboration with a medical prescriber. We’ll calm the nervous system, unblend from harsh inner critics, and rewrite stale stories so your life fits your values—not the other way around. Please visit my website at adinasilvestri dot com for more information.
I specialize in women’s mental health and in high-achieving men who “wear all the masks”—performing at work, holding it together at home, yet battling anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, substance use, or quiet shame. We’ll map your protector parts (the Stoic, the Performer, the Fixer), hear the needs they guard, and build strategies that work in real life.
I hold a doctorate in counseling psychology and am a Licensed Professional Counselor, IFS therapist, Hypnotherapist and more. In-person in Richmond, VA and secure telehealth for both Virginia and South Carolina residents. I typically have openings within a week. You bring curiosity; I’ll bring warmth, precision, and tools that work.

I integrate IFS, Brainspotting, Hypnotherapy, and KAP to help you get to the root of what's beneath the surface. In our first session, we'll identify strengths, stressors, and resources, and map a path forward. I often use guided relaxation and expressive writing to deepen the work. This work is for those who are ready to move beyond surface-level change and into lasting transformation.

Writing Bravely

Hosted by
Adina Silvestri

If “just write it out” hasn’t worked, this is different. Writing Bravely uses guided prompts and an IFS-informed approach to help you move through mental noise and access what’s actually going on underneath. You’ll explore the parts of you that hold stress, self-doubt, or shutdown—without forcing insight. This is for people who want something deeper than coping, but aren’t quite ready for therapy or an intensive.
