Joshua is a licensed psychologist in Virginia and DC. They identify as a nonbinary Latine person of queer experience. Their family immigrated from Venezuela and maintains strong ties to Latin America.

Professionally, Dr. DeSilva (Josh) is the Associate Director and Director of Training at American University Counseling Center. Josh feels lucky to be a part of the future of psychology in this role.

Penelope Andrade, LCSW

Penelope is an AEDP Certified Therapist and Supervisor and author of Emotional Medicine Rx: Cry when you’re sad, Stop when you’re done, Feel good fast with over 40 years of experience in San Diego, CA and on Zoom. Penelope found AEDP in 2010 and knew it would be her forever therapeutic home when she discovered how elegantly AEDP integrated her decades long commitment to body-mind-spirit-relational healing and mindfulness. Of the many aspects of AEDP she treasures: being with clients in the embodied present moment, undoing aloneness, trusting those continually arising self-righting impulses, allowing love to flourish relationally, and facilitating clients’ ever increasing self-love-confidence-clarity.

As AEDP can be tricky to master, Penelope enjoys helping new AEDP learners relax into discovering how their innate gifts as therapists thrive and develop in this organic, emergent model. Penelope knows, personally, she will never be done learning AEDP as it challenges her personally and professionally to grow in the most important aspects of consciousness, love and will.  (more…)

Liza Greville, LCSW

As a Certified AEDP Therapist and Supervisor in private practice in Kane, Pennsylvania, I offer individual therapy to adults in Pennsylvania, New York, and Montana, as well as individual consultation. Therapists new to the model are welcome, as are those advancing through the certification process.

Introduced to AEDP in 2016, I was immediately drawn to the “art of therapy” that bridges the complexity of AEDP theory with the simplicity and potency of its interventions. Curiosity guides my approach, especially in the areas of clinical creativity, pragmatism, and moment-to-moment process. I enjoy helping therapists understand and trust the model, deepen experiential skills, and grow greater fluency in the expression of Self.

My growth within AEDP has been shaped by the supervision and mentorship of Jenn Edlin and Jenna Osiason, along with treasured colleagues and community. I earned my graduate degree from the University of Chicago and hold dear the rural life I share with my family and animals.
