Aynsley Silva LMHC from Fircrest Behavioral Health is my guest for episode 44 of The Courage, Coaching and Counseling Podcast.  
We talked about his time in grad school studying to become a therapist, his experience in community mental health as an "Angry Boy Whisperer", some advice for parents, listening to your child's big emotions, emotional intelligence, creating a life you don't want to check out from, Functional Family Therapy and Neurofeedback.   
From his website: "Aynsley graduated from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon with a master’s degree in clinical counseling in 2011.  He began his post-graduate work at LifeWorks Northwest, in Portland Oregon, where he was a member of their Intensive Community-based Treatment Services (ICTS) team, providing crisis intervention for children and their families. While at LifeWorks, he further developed his clinical skills and a passion for doing work with men, children, and their families. Aynsley was Certified in Function Family Therapy (FFT) while contracting with The Department of Youth, Child, And Family services as well as Clark County Juvenile Justice. 
In addition to talk therapy, Aynsley provides Biofeedback and Neurofeedback to his clients. These techniques use specialized equipment to monitor and change your responses related to various mental health issues.  
In his free time, Aynsley can be found exercising and exploring the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. He enjoys hiking, rock climbing, football, and a new found hobby: 1920’s-1940’s style swing dancing (Lindy Hop/Jitterbug)
