Education and Training

For over 25 years, our founder, Dr. Silva-Palacios, has been conducting workshops and conferences for parents, couples, and individuals at churches and other community forums. His presentations cover a range of topics, from improving personal, couple, and family relationships to understanding anger, anxiety, and depression.

Specialized Expertise

In addition to our extensive clinical experience, Dr. Silva-Palacios is an expert on acculturation and assimilation issues that face immigrants.

This information allows these professionals to provide culturally-sensitive services to their clients, who make up the fastest-growing ethnic minority population in California and the rest of the country.
