Sil Machado, Ph.D. is a psychotherapist and neurofeedback therapist who specializes in the alleviation of symptoms through inner transformation. Machado draws from time-tested and evidence-based approaches suited to each client's unique needs, and offers weekly sessions or longer trauma intensives. Machado has particular expertise in adult psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, traumatic stress, LGBTQ+ issues, loss, and relationship problems. Machado provides neurofeedback to children, adolescents, and adults for reactive attachment, PTSD, AD/HD, brain injury, mood disorders, emotional dysregulation, autism spectrum, chronic pain and other psychosomatic issues. Machado believes that, when carefully attended to, dark, painful experiences become doorways through which deeper relationship with oneself is possible. Machado supports clients to cultivate self-acceptance while challenging themselves to move toward the changes they seek. Underpinning my work is an enduring belief in the psyche's restorative capacity.
