About Me

Hi, I’m Gwende Silver. I am honored to have the opportunity to work with you as you tap into your strengths and wisdom to navigate the challenges life brings.

I aim to create a therapeutic relationship that allows you to feel seen and cared for, and provide space to explore your authentic self. I utilize a client-centered and collaborative approach, acknowledging that you are the expert in your own life and experiences. I also work from a trauma informed social justice framework, as I recognize the impact of oppression on mental health.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and completed my Master of Social Work from the University of Washington in 2015.

I have experience working with youth, individuals and families in intensive community based settings, supporting survivors of intimate partner violence, as well as families experiencing trauma and oppression. I am also passionate about working with people who would like to explore gender, sexual orientation and relationships of all kinds.
