“My teenage daughter and I learned a lot about how to listen to each other and acknowledge each other, even when what was being said was hard to hear (or hard to say). Silvia brought her warm, kind, and grounded presence into the room, structuring our conversations in such a way as to make us both feel safe in the therapy environment. We often left feeling better about each other and ourselves. And then my daughter and I would go out somewhere and enjoy dinner together! ”

“Silvia has supported and counseled me and my family for a decade. As a single mother of two children, I found that Silvia’s training in family dynamics gives her a broad perspective and enables her to help all members of the family. In the words of my very bright 22-year-old son, “Silvia is very smart.” She is also remarkably warm, clear-sighted and effective.  I have never left her office without feeling more balanced and better equipped to deal with life’s challenges. More important, over the long run, Silvia has managed to greatly improve the way I parent.”

“Thanks in large measure to the work of Silvia with my family, and with me individually, our family relationships are now flourishing. Each of us has learned to face our challenges and practice new and productive ways of responding to stress and loss. Dr. Giliotti is a gifted and generous practitioner who through the years has lifted-up our daughter and our family. Our gratitude is infinite.”

“I started working with Silvia at a particularly vulnerable point in my life (my late 20s, yikes) and found myself needing both a sounding board and a mentor. In addition to her wisdom and empathy, Silvia has a particular gift for guiding people to their own revelations — she gives suggestions, not orders, and she asks the questions that I at least had never thought to ask myself. I considered her a partner in solving the complex puzzle of my emotions, and while that puzzle might never be complete—whose is?—Silvia gave me the support and the tools to keep trying. I’m so grateful to her.”

“Silvia is not only extraordinarily adept at listening; she also remembers and reflects and helps us hear ourselves in valuable ways. She’s honest, authentic, compassionate, and intrepid, and she models these qualities in the safe space she creates for meaningful discourse, inviting and inspiring us to find our way to being our best selves.”

“My son died by suicide two and half years ago. I am so grateful to have had Silvia’s help in navigating the enormous sadness and loss that have followed this tragedy.  She continues to be a pillar of strength. In addition, Silvia guided me to other helpful resources, including a free Family Connections group, a residential program for a child suffering from emotional dysregulation, and a support group for survivors of suicide loss.”

“I have seen Silvia for almost a decade. She is a highly-skilled, experienced and empathetic therapist. A big part of our therapy has consisted of utilizing DBT skills to deal more effectively with my ex-spouse, who has borderline personality traits, and my children and to better manage my emotions. Silvia has also been incredibly supportive of my efforts to make important changes in my life and manage life’s stresses.”

“Working remotely with Silvia has been such a blessing. The ability to do sessions from home saved us from having to hire childcare, and made scheduling much easier. Silvia has been so helpful for me and my partner. We are communicating better and our commitment to one another is its strongest ever. In pre-COVID times, couples therapy would not even have been an option for us, but through our remote meetings Silvia has worked wonders. We are infinitely grateful!”
