Meet Dr. Tamaki Silver Specializing In Individual & Couples Therapy
Maybe things look fine on the outside, but inside you're stretched thin, second-guessing yourself, or feeling distant from the people you care about most. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to sort through it alone!
I'm Tamaki Silver (she/her/hers), a licensed psychologist who works with adults 18+ and couples. A lot of the people I see are navigating stress and anxiety, big life transitions, shaky self-confidence, or relationships that feel harder than they should. Together, we'll create a space where you can talk through the things that feel heavy, build real coping skills and resilience, and come to understand yourself (and how you connect with others) more clearly. I want this to feel collaborative, a place where we problem-solve, explore, and yes, share some laughter along the way!
My style is warm and conversational, but I'll also be honest and direct with you, because I think that's where real growth happens. I draw from an integrative approach (interpersonal, relational, emotion-focused, psychodynamic, CBT, and DBT), because no two people are the same, and your treatment shouldn't be either. I lean on a strengths-based, positive-psychology lens to help you not just cope, but flourish. With couples, I use Relational Life Therapy (RLT) to help partners understand their communication patterns and rebuild connection.
I earned my Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from La Salle University in Philadelphia, completed my pre-doctoral internship at the University of Delaware's counseling center, and did my postdoctoral training at Temple University. Before joining The Therapy Group, I spent four years as a staff psychologist at Vanderbilt University's counseling center in Nashville, TN. Having worked so closely with college and graduate students, I'm especially passionate about young adult identity and helping people build a healthy, grounded path into adulthood.
When I'm not in session, you'll find me playing with my dog Fletcher, baking something sweet, trying out a new restaurant, or cheering (loudly) for my favorite Philly sports teams!
