Meet the guest

LaDonna Silva, LMFT (she/her)


LaDonna Silva, LMFT is Process Therapist, an IFS Approved Clinical Consultant, a Level 3 Certified IFS Therapist and a member of the Somatic IFS Staff. She has been seeing clients for over 18 years and has proudly been on her own healing journey for the last 34 years.

In recent years, she has focused on bridging her background in Somatic and Transpersonal Psychology with Process Therapy and the IFS/Somatic IFS model. She specializes in trauma, sexual abuse/assault, grief, couples work, group work and working with the LGBTQI+ community.

LaDonna loves practicing the Art of Being and Doing in the therapeutic setting. She invites her clients to return to their own natural state of balance and well-being, all the while holding a compassionate and non-pathologizing place for those internal systems that need attention and loving care.

She incorporates diverse modalities, like movement, music, somatic process, play and curiosity, to discover and address what shows up in the room.

LaDonna has served on many local boards as a community leader, and she has held faculty positions at John F. Kennedy University, the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology/Sofia University, and Santa Clara University. She assisted many senior IFS trainers before joining the staff with Susan McConnell.

Prior to her career in psychology, LaDonna advocated for survivors of sexual abuse, speaking to the California legislature and sharing her own story, on an MTV special and as a guest on Oprah, about the pain of unspoken sexual abuse within families.

LaDonna has a passion for living life consciously and for inviting others to be curious and ultimately guided by their own discovery of Self. She also encourages and supports therapists to explore their own internal journeys, so they can truly be present with others.

LaDonna enjoys music, movement, travel, soccer, pickle-ball, yoga, Buddhism, a good workout, exploring nature, and time with friends and family, including her wife of 18 years, her adult daughter, step-daughter, two grandchildren, and her fur family.
