About Alexandre Da Silva

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”

“Very kind and understanding”

“He is very sensitive, emphatic and knowledgeable. Great therapist.”

“Alex help me understand how I see myself and how I see my emotions, it’s been great and very helpful doing sessions with Alex. Help me a lot understand myself and the problem I see in my life”

“Great”

“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.”

“He’s great!”

“Alex is wonderful. He provides me with constructive ways of going about solving my issues and he is obviously committed to me as a patient. I began using better help because I moved across the country and could no longer see me traditional therapist. I’m so glad I was paired with Alex. Also, it’s nice to have someone who never misses a beat talking about a gay relationship. It makes no difference to him and it’s a huge relief for me. Alex is great, highly recommend.”

“Alex’s super supportive and I like being able to go to him any time through the phone.”

“Mr. Da Silva has been from the start an expert guide through the maze of my life and times. I trust his judgement and his advice, I feel that he will always call me out if what I am offering is more fiction than truth and he will always help me find my way back to the truth, something I consider invaluable.”

“I have only been working with Dr. Da Silva for a short while, but I'm happy so far!”

“He is very understanding, helpful, and attentive. He will even check up on you in between sessions. Should you begin chat sessions, he will encourage you (according to your confidence) to do more personal interactions via phone/video chat to really open up about your feelings. He has shown me he is invested, and dedicated to a productive way of thinking for a better life.”

“He’s been very attentive! Helps me get out of my own head.”

“Alex is wonderful. He has good insight and good questions and is very responsive with his messages. I highly recommend him and if I ever move back to New York I would gladly find him again.”
