Cosmo Thornton-Silver

I work with teens, adults, couples and families. My specialities are working with clients who are experiencing mood disorders including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorders) substance use, relationship conflicts & gender or queer identity exploration. I am passionate about helping clients discover their authentic selves. I aim to help my clients develop internal resources, behavioral strategies and a support system, which allows them to build lives worth living. 

 

I use dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative and somatic therapy. I support clients in challenging black & white thinking, balancing acceptance and change and finding social support and adaptive behaviors that align with their goals and values. I help my clients find life satisfaction, self-worth, adaptive coping skills, and meaningful relationships. 

I am a queer & non-binary clinician based in the Bay Area. Outside of my clinical work I enjoy weight lifting, hiking, music, writing and exploring the outdoors in the Bay Area.  I am originally from the UK and have lived in the Bay Area since 2014. I provide therapy in California via telehealth.
