The Team


We believe healing takes root in safe and supportive relationships. At Silent Waters Therapeutic Services LLC, our mission-driven team is made up of licensed therapists, caregivers, trainers, wellness facilitators, and advocates—many of whom bring lived experience as foster or adoptive parents and youth-serving professionals. United by a passion for supporting vulnerable families and youth, we create a compassionate, culturally grounded space where every individual is met with dignity, compassion, and personalized care. Together, we walk alongside those navigating trauma, grief, identity, and complex family systems—guiding each person toward healing, resilience, and renewed hope.
