Silverio Arenas is a Washington-licensed psychologist (WA Psychologist PY00001591) with 40 years of professional experience. He works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
He approaches therapy with the view that each person is the expert on their own story and that their existing strengths can support recovery and growth. Taking the first step toward a more satisfying and happier life requires courage - and he offers steady support throughout that process.
Silverio is bilingual and bicultural in Spanish and English, with familiarity in Mexican and U.S. cultural and ethnic experiences. As a male, older therapist of color who identifies as non-religious and liberal, he brings perspectives shaped by those identities to his clinical work.
Many people ask whether virtual therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person appointments.
One major benefit is flexibility - patients can connect in the format that fits their schedule and comfort level, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability can make it easier to maintain regular care amid busy lives.
All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and individuals may choose to change therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be more helpful.
