Tino Silva

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Gilbert, AZ, my goal is to help individuals and couples break free from what’s holding them back from moving forward into a life they desire. Together, we will gain an understanding of those issues that are keeping you from being your
very best. My practice is focused on providing my clients with a space where they can feel safe and trust that all that is shared is absolutely confidential.

The goal of individual therapy is addressing the underlying cause of your discomfort. You should not suffer in silence nor should you talk yourself into thinking that you can do it alone.

Couples therapy can give a new perspective and identify each partner’s role in unhealthy patterns. Through our time together, you both will learn about each other, come to learn more about yourselves and walk away with the tools needed to have a fulfilling and rewarding marriage.

Facing a narcissistic partner or family member can be extremely
challenging (no you’re not crazy), but with the right education,
support and strategies, it’s possible to maintain your overall well-being and navigate these complex dynamics.

Communication is the number one reason couple’s seek therapy (you’re not alone). Contrary to popular belief, healthy and effective communication is a skillset that needs to be learned and practiced. Working together, we will evaluate your current communication style and replace poor habits with proven interventions to get your relationship back on track.
