About me

Each person's individual experiences are essential to the therapy journey. With that in mind, I encourage you to draw upon your own experiences and natural creativity as primary tools to discover quick, positive, and long-lasting solutions to your problems.

I embrace cultural diversity and truly respect people's differences. Individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, religious backgrounds, and cultural heritages will find a warm and welcoming atmosphere when meeting with me on BetterHelp.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am inclined toward holistic and integrative approaches to psychotherapy. The holistic perspective helps us become more aware in our day-to-day lives and more in tune with our emotions, thoughts, physical experiences, and spiritual senses. The integrative approach blends clinical interventions from various schools of psychotherapy, treating each individual as unique. This method yields the best results and opens the door to positive, effective changes.

I have been trained to work with adults experiencing mood changes, sadness, anger, anxiety, stress, trauma, and emotional emptiness.

I provide therapy in both English and Portuguese.

My therapist is fantastic. He is an active listener, and as someone who has done a fair amount of therapy in the past, I’m surprised at how easily he can help guide me to real realizations that I have not yet had

Alex is phenomenal! He’s caring, and I feel he gives 100% to his clients, and he’s communication is great.

Working with Dr. Da Silva has been transformative for me. Of the several therapists I’ve had in the past, he is the only one I have felt comfortable opening up with entirely. His attentive attitude made me feel like I was really being listened to, and his nonjudgmental way of calling attention to some of the things I said, or avoided saying, was very beneficial in the long run.
