Are you dealing with daily anxiety, sadness, stress, trauma or difficult life transitions? Want peace in your life, but can't seem to attain it? Day to day we can be confronted with new challenges, stressors, and mental exhaustion.

Are you dealing with some big changes in your life? Or, have you experienced something scary and upsetting? Are you feeling weighed down by your past and unable to move forward? My role as a therapist is to help you gain power over your life. Empowerment leads to freedom and reduced fear of the world around you, and self-empowerment starts with self-compassion.

I have often been described as calming, attentive, compassionate and easy to talk to.

My name is Silva Sheklanian. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing out of California. My work focuses primarily on both trauma and attachment. I am EMDR trained as well as attachment-based trained. I am trauma-informed, as such my approach is very much client-centered. I use both CBT and EMDR in my sessions to support my clients toward their goals. I am also trained in Theraplay to support clients towards attachment building with family members (specifically their children).

I enjoy working with a diverse population surrounding attachment, life transitions, stressful life events/trauma, and close relationships. I am passionate about working with young adults, couples, pre-marital counseling, and LGBTQIA+ populations. Each and every one of my clients is a unique person coming in with unique experiences and challenges, meaning they require a unique approach that best fits their goals. The therapeutic relationship between a client and therapist is one of the most important factors to client success. This is why I value building trust and confidence with my clients in the beginning of therapy.

I believe that people are all inherently relational beings and when our relationships - whether with ourselves, other people, or God - are hurting, life can become incredibly painful.

Everyone needs a safe space to reflect, release, reset, and rest. Are you having trouble understanding your mood, thoughts or emotions? Do you lie in bed late at night with thoughts that will not shut off? Are your emotions or thoughts hindering your relationships or professional life? Do you feel your life is not balanced due to the constant pressure to over perform? Do you find yourself neglecting your relationships with your spouse, children or close loved ones? We all need someone we can trust to walk us through the process of understanding and exploring ways to heal, cope and grow into our most authentic self.

We are all differently-abled & have our own challenges in life. Whether you are experiencing painful relationships, stress, crisis, life changes or just want more out of life, counseling can help.

I'm here to join you in making a plan for success, providing a supportive therapeutic relationship & competency-based psychotherapy. I have been working in northern California since 1993 & am skilled in various methods so that counseling can be interactive, engaging, & reflective.

My approach to therapy is to empower the clients I work with through their self-discovery journey. I am a firm believer that progress occurs when clients use meaningful skills and strategies outside therapy sessions, and in doing so, they improve their family functioning, social functioning, and emotional well-being, and overall are able to enjoy life more. As a cognitive behavior diplomat, I use cognitive and behavioral strategies to help clients identify the roots of their problems and find solutions that help them in between sessions.

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, anger, addiction, or in your relationships? Do you feel "stuck"? As painful as it is, it also a galvanizing force in your life, telling you it's time for things to change. As someone who has struggled with debilitating depression and anxiety myself, I know firsthand the power of therapy to create a life filled with joy and peace. You are not alone in your struggle, and you don't have to stay where you are! Let this be the day you take that first step - to become the person you were made to be, and fulfill the unique calling on your life.

Perhaps you are having difficulties in your primary relationships, perhaps there are stressors at work, perhaps you face a great choice and several obstacles are hindering your clarity and peace. I have been honored to witness individuals and couples overcome many barriers that initially seemed insurmountable. Based on the lived experience of those I work with I believe that a full, happy, and peaceful life is within reach for everyone who seeks it.
