FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jussara “Sara” Silva Joins Center for Psychological & Behavioral Science as Assistant Clinical Director

Palm Beach Gardens, FL – The Center for Psychological & Behavioral Science is proud to announce that Jussara “Sara” Silva, JD, MEd, has been appointed as the Assistant Clinical Director. Sara is a Florida-Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern specializing in treating adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety disorders, OCD, and depression. With her comprehensive approach, she is poised to make a significant impact in the community.

Sara’s therapeutic style is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but she also draws from person-centered therapy and interpersonal process therapy. This integrated approach allows her to tailor sessions to each individual’s needs, fostering a safe, collaborative environment where clients can explore their challenges openly. Her goal is to equip individuals with practical strategies that empower them to manage symptoms and create lasting positive change in their lives.

Sara’s training in the Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) program further strengthens her expertise. SPACE is an evidence-based treatment that supports parents of children with anxiety and OCD by guiding them on how to reduce accommodations that might inadvertently reinforce their child’s anxious behaviors. Sara is committed to helping families build healthier dynamics at home, providing parents with the tools they need to foster positive growth.

Sara also brings a unique perspective to her practice from her previous career as a lawyer. She understands the high-pressure environment that professionals often endure and the toll it can take on their mental health. Whether it’s burnout or feeling overwhelmed by career demands, Sara offers specialized support for professionals, helping them regain balance and manage stress effectively.

“We’re thrilled to have Sara join our team,” said Steven J. Seay, Ph.D. (Clinical Director). “Her diverse background and dedication to holistic mental health care make her an invaluable asset to our center and the community.”
