Michelle Silva Segura

My name is Michelle Silva Segura and I have been in the field of psychotherapy for over 20 years. I enjoy what I do and look forward to the work with clients. I believe that the client is the expert on their experience and on their understanding of their life. I try to bring my experience, knowledge, and understanding into the relationship so that the client and I can co-create an organic experience between us. In my opinion, exploration within the realms of curiosity is essential in forming an environment that is safe and non-judgmental. My education consist of a M.A. in Psychology with an emphasis on Marriage and Family systems theory. I received my Masters from Universidad de las Americas, A.C. in Mexico City. I have been working in the trauma field for much of my practice. This has allowed me the opportunity to learn techniques that involve listening to the body and its reactions to traumatic events. I believe in mindfulness and its benefits within psychotherapy. I have studied Thought Field therapy, REMAP, and Mindfulness theory. In 2016, I completed my certification to become a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Creativity is essential to my work. I utilize play therapy techniques when working with children and have been known to use some play/art/ sand tray work with individual adults and families. I believe that we are never too old to play or to reach with that other side of our brain in the session. I don’t believe that therapy always has to be so serious and find that play and humor can help when appropriate. I am fluent in Spanish which has enabled me to work with individuals, families, and children who utilize Spanish as their first language. On a personal note, I am a mother, a partner/wife, a sister, a daughter, a person…. who provides therapy and loves what I do. I look forward to meeting you if you feel I am the right choice for your healing journey.
