Hello and welcome! Thank you very much for seeking counseling services. This takes much courage and I admire and applaud you for taking this important step. People seek out counseling for many reasons. Maybe they are feeling lost, maybe they are stuck in a rut, maybe a bad break up has left them in pieces, maybe a traumatic event has been affecting their lives, maybe the use of substances has taken over their lives as they used them to get through the day and now have gone too far, or maybe they are even feeling the abysses of depression and anxiety and can't understand where its coming from. Whatever the reasons for counseling, the rigors of life have affected the person so profoundly that it has made a hard, negative impact in their lives and may feel like they have lost control. In seeking counseling you have made a choice to take back control of your life, You have decided to fight hard against the inner turmoil. I have the upmost respect for you! If you would please allow me to accompany you on your journey to achieve the goals you wish to achieve, I can assure you that I would give you my very best. Your goals are what's important to me and exploring different ways to find that inner peace is something I do not take lightly.
My name is Silvestre Rubio, but all my life people have called me Silver. I have a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology (2011) and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I have over 9 years of experience in Counseling and assisting people with a variety of diagnoses such as Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar, Substance Use, and Schizoaffective disorders to name a few. In addition, My approach to treatment entails a few crucial things. We must work hard to establish a good, trusting, strong therapeutic relationship first and foremost. I want you to be comfortable to be able to speak to me about anything and know that you will not be judged. I have your back and your well being as my top priority. We can go at whatever pace you wish to go whether fast or slow and your goals are what I'm here to help you achieve. Together we will explore the things that have been bothering you and come up with a treatment plan with reasonable goals you want. We will immediately learn skills, tools and coping mechanisms to ensure you are equipped to deal with a variety of things in your life. In addition, counseling isn't just about learning skills to "handle" things. Having immediate tools is essential, but what is just as essential is to continue to explore the issues that have been bothering you so that we can get to the root and eventually not even have the negative feelings. For example, when some one is using drugs we learn skills that can help achieve sobriety right away. This is very important, but in order to maintain sobriety, we explore the reasons behind substance use in the first place. This can be uncomfortable and can take time, but once we get to the root of what's causing substance use and eliminate it, then this may be where "true healing" takes place. Whatever the situation may be in your case, I. want you to know that you have my unconditional support and will be with you to help get to where you wish to be.
Something that I have learned through my years in counseling is that every person is unique, every person is different, every one has a different view and even with similar issues, counseling sessions have be tailored for everyone's individual needs and goals. This is what you will get from me, a person who sees you as a person and wants to help you be the best you. I'm not here to "shrink" you and most definitely know 100 percent must be given to the session every time. Your thoughts, feelings, emotions matter and I'm here to try and help you. If this is the type of counselor you are looking for, then I'm your guy. I look forward to working with you!

Silver is a great therapist, so much that it lead me to go back to him after a year. I'm doing way better, and most of my improvement has been also thanks to him.
I was very wary of therapist, yet Dr. Rubio is so understanding and smooth in delivering the conversation, it makes you feel like you're talking to a friend.
I'll never be thankful enough to him for supporting me out of a dark, dark time in my life.

Silver is an amazing therapist, he makes you feel extremely comfortable and offers great advice. I was worried starting therapy that it would be very robotic and there would be no connection, but silver does his best to try to get to know you on a personal level which makes opening up that much easier. He helped me through a very tough time and i appreciate everything he has done for me.

Silver has been a blessing in this past year -- I feel like I've made some really strong and lasting improvements and this investment in my mental health has really paid off! As a result of our talks and the tools Silver has given me, I feel like I'm finally making some progress that actually lasts and isn't just temporary. I appreciate his honesty and his stories because both make me feel comfortable talking about difficult subjects and that I'm not alone in this either. Would highly recommend Silver!

Silvestre is an extremely good counselor. He listened well, gave me good feedback and suggestions, and some good tools to work with. The worksheets he gave me to complete were excellent and made me think, and begin to process things. He has a very good manner.
I would very much like to work with him in September. In each of our sessions, I was able to dig a little deeper, with his help and gentle manner. He made me feel safe talking about things. I am hoping and praying we can do this.
