Meet Erika Silveira: The Heart Behind Silver Light Psychotherapy's Compassionate, Client-Centered Care

Meet Erika Silveira, the compassionate founder of Silver Light Psychotherapy in Ontario. With over a decade of experience and a trauma-informed, client-centered approach, Erika supports individuals, teens, and families through life's challenges. Her work blends evidence-based care with deep empathy, offering inclusive, personalized therapy that empowers clients to reconnect with their inner strength.
Behind every healing space is a healer - and for Silver Light Psychotherapy, that person is Erika Silveira. As the founder and lead therapist of this Ontario-based mental health practice, Silveira is not just a provider of therapy; she is the beating heart of a deeply human approach to emotional well-being.

With over a decade of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families, Erika Silveira has built a reputation for therapeutic care that is warm, respectful, and grounded in empathy. Currently completing her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University, Silveira combines academic training with real-world clinical experience to support clients across Ontario through life's many complexities.

"When someone comes to therapy, they're not looking for perfection. They're looking for presence - for someone to walk beside them, not in front of them," says Silveira. "That's the foundation of everything we do at Silver Light."

Her journey into psychotherapy was shaped by years spent working with vulnerable populations, including children and youth facing trauma, parents under pressure, and adults navigating anxiety, grief, and identity transitions. What began as a professional calling quickly evolved into a personal mission: to create a therapeutic space where people feel not just helped, but honored.

At Silver Light Psychotherapy, that mission comes to life. The practice is trauma-informed, meaning that clients are met with sensitivity, patience, and an understanding of how past experiences shape present-day emotions and behaviors. From the first consultation, the emphasis is on safety, collaboration, and respect.

Silveira's therapeutic style is integrative and flexible. She draws from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. But beyond the techniques lies a core belief: healing happens in relationship.

"Therapy is not a transaction - it's a partnership," she explains. "We co-create goals, we work at your pace, and we always hold space for who you are, not just what you're going through."

This relational approach is especially evident in her work with adolescents and families. Using art, play-based therapy, and open dialogue, Silveira helps young people express themselves in ways that feel safe and age-appropriate. For parents and caregivers, she offers practical support and emotional validation, guiding them toward deeper connection with their children - and with themselves.

Silveira's care is also shaped by an unwavering commitment to inclusivity. Silver Light Psychotherapy welcomes clients of all identities, backgrounds, and experiences. Sessions are offered virtually and in-person to accommodate different needs, and flexible scheduling - including evening appointments - ensures therapy is accessible even for the busiest of lives.

"We're not here to tell you who to be," Silveira says. "We're here to support who you already are, and help you grow into that more fully - with clarity, confidence, and compassion."

This personalized, affirming care has quickly made Silver Light Psychotherapy a trusted name in Ontario's mental health landscape. But for Silveira, the impact is not measured in accolades - it's in the quiet moments of transformation: a client discovering their voice, a teen opening up, a family learning to speak with kindness again.

"I don't see therapy as fixing people," she says. "I see it as helping them remember their own strength, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that have always been there - waiting."
