About
Jennifer Silacci

The impact anxiety, trauma, or an eating disorder can have on a human is profound. One of the greatest gifts in my 20+ years of practice has been to witness individuals as they heal, and reclaim their health, happiness and wholeness.
​
After I obtained my MSW degree from NYU, I completed postgraduate training in eating disorders and body image issues at the Women's Therapy Centre Institute, and in Trauma Studies at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. In addition, I completed a three-year training in Somatic Experiencing and went on to become an SE assistant. Interested in creating a culturally and spiritually sensitive practice, I completed courses in Judaism, Native American Spirituality, as well as a two-year program studying the world's major faith traditions. These studies have been a gift, and help me to better understand and appreciate my clients various religions and spiritual practices in a deeper way.
I have run eating disorder groups for NYU, various nonprofits, as well as within my private practice. I have served as both a lecturer and group case consultant on eating disorders and trauma at postgraduate institutes in New York City. Mentoring, supporting and providing consultation to early career therapists is one of my passions.
​
I currently see clients virtually in California, Colorado, and New York, and offer consultation to early-career therapists nationwide.
