About Laura Silva
My practice integrates traditional counseling, with alternative mind-body-spirit healing modalities of East and West. I have been in practice for over 35 years, and am written about in three books.
In addition to traditional therapy, I offer Depth, Imaginal and Transpersonal Therapy, Shamanic practices, Dream work, recall of non-ordinary and exceptional experiences, Mindfulness therapy, Spirituality, energy medicine and much more.
I offer a depth understanding of soul and psyche, psyche and nature, and a spiritual foundation to life. Psychology, from a depth perspective, is about personal transformation, self knowledge, and the sacredness of all life- beyond the brain, cognitive or drug therapy. What if pain and disharmony in your life are symptoms reflecting a deeper disconnection - being out of alignment with your deepest core of wholeness and truth. Your issues may be personal AND spiritual.
I help clients release limiting subconscious patterns, blocks and obstacles. You will find happiness, peace, and discover your true inner compass.
I work with ALL issues. Clients learn inner skills of mental balance, insight, release, and a relaxed, open mind. Clients gain inner clarity, integration and self mastery.
I have a base fee, with some sliding scale based on financial need. In-Office and Remote Sessions. Remote/online availability National and International (phone, online video conferencing via Zoom or Skype). Email me at [email protected]. I will send information and available times for a free initial consultation. Or call 413-695-4257 EST.
CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: During this difficult time, I will be offering my services at a much lower session fee than the base rate. This lower fee is for those in need at this time, and assessed individually. Please inquire with me, if interested.
