About

Alexandre “Alex” Da Silva views each person’s lived experience as central to the therapeutic process. He encourages clients to draw on their own history and natural creativity as primary tools to discover positive, timely, and enduring solutions to the challenges they face.

He honors cultural diversity and treats individual differences with genuine respect. People of all genders, sexualities, religious affiliations, and cultural backgrounds can expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere in sessions with him.

As a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York, he prefers holistic and integrative approaches to psychotherapy. The holistic perspective helps clients become more mindful in day-to-day life and more attuned to their emotions, thoughts, bodily sensations, and spiritual awareness. The integrative approach blends techniques from multiple therapeutic schools and treats each person as unique, opening pathways to effective, lasting change.

He has received training to work with both adults and children who are experiencing mood shifts, sadness, anger, anxiety, stress, trauma, or a sense of emotional emptiness. He offers therapy in both English and Portuguese.

He invites prospective clients to reflect on what brings them to therapy at this time.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?


Many people wonder whether virtual therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional face-to-face sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the format that fits their life best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to maintain regular care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.

Therapists who practice online are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists if they want a different fit. For many people, the combination of accessible scheduling and a variety of communication methods makes online therapy a practical and effective way to address everyday mental health concerns.
