About The Power of Resiliency

The Power of Resiliency is a mental health counseling and therapy practice located in Manasquan, NJ, providing compassionate, individualized care for children, teens, and adults throughout Monmouth County. Our therapists specialize in supporting individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, OCD, grief, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, people pleasing, relationship challenges, eating disorders, emotional regulation difficulties, low self esteem, and other mental health concerns. We offer in-person therapy at our Manasquan, New Jersey office, as well as virtual and online therapy for clients throughout New Jersey.

The Power of Resiliency was founded by owner and therapist Dominique Silvestri, LCSW, with the belief that meaningful healing can extend beyond traditional talk therapy. Through her own experiences with therapy, healing, and navigating life’s challenges, Dominique recognized the importance of understanding not only our thoughts and emotions, but also the connection between the mind, body, past experiences, and nervous system.

This philosophy became the foundation of The Power of Resiliency. Our therapists take a whole-person, mind-body approach to mental health counseling, helping clients better understand themselves, recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck, develop healthier ways of coping, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Our clinicians incorporate evidence-based, solution- focused, and trauma-informed approaches based on each client’s individual needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work, mindfulness, somatic approaches, breath work, nervous system regulation, and other mind-body techniques.

Healing is not always about finding the right words. Sometimes, it means slowing down, becoming present, and gently exploring what you have been carrying. It means creating space to feel, understand, process, and move through emotions and experiences that may have become deeply held within both the mind and body.

It was from this belief that The Power of Resiliency was created—a space where therapy looks at the whole person, not simply a diagnosis, symptom, or struggle, keeping in mind that we all have a choice, even in our darkest moments.

Our clinicians take an individualized, whole-person approach to therapy, recognizing the powerful connection between the mind, body, emotions, experiences, and nervous system. We help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, explore how past experiences may have shaped present-day thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, and patterns, and learn how their nervous system responds to the world around them.

Through a combination of evidence-based, trauma-informed, and mind-body approaches, therapy becomes a space not only to talk, but to notice, feel, understand, process, and create change.

At The Power of Resiliency, we believe healing is not about becoming a different person. It is about developing a deeper connection with yourself, understanding what you have carried, and discovering the resilience that has been within you all along.

Our goal is to provide a warm, supportive space where you can better understand yourself, reconnect with your mind and body, and build the tools you need to move forward with greater confidence and awareness.

Come as you are. Together, you can create space for growth, healing, connection, and renewed resilience.
