Millions of people struggle with mental health
Have you been…
- Anxious or depressed?
- Feeling discouraged and out of control?
- Unable to understand why you feel the way you do?
Avoiding your symptoms perpetuates them; Confronting your symptoms extinguishes them.
I can help you overcome your mental health challenges.
I realized early in my career that the insight-oriented approaches championed by Sigmund Freud and others were grueling, expensive, and ineffective; whereas encouraging people to confront their fears and anxieties was a straightforward, much quicker, and more effective approach.
Now I am on a mission to introduce this sensible, powerful, scientifically based self-help treatment to the millions who struggle with anxiety, depression, and other common psychological problems, including Panic Attacks, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and more.
"[Dr. Silvestri] is the most compassionate, kind, understanding, intelligent doctor I have ever met... he is the absolute best in his field."

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Exposure therapy will, to a significant extent, relieve the anxiety and the compulsive behavior associated with this disorder. But to completely resolve this disorder and achieve mastery, it is important to undo the relationship that sufferers usually have with the disorder itself.
Panic Disorder
Panic Disorder is really two disorders: the panic attacks themselves, and the fear of having another panic attack, each of which need to be treated independetly.
