Newmarket, Ontario - Silver Light Psychotherapy, founded by Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) Erika Silveira, is expanding its mental health services to better support the growing needs of children, teens, adults, and couples throughout Newmarket and the surrounding communities. With a trauma-informed and client-centered approach, the practice is dedicated to providing accessible and compassionate care for individuals navigating a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. As more Canadians seek support for concerns such as anxiety, stress, emotional regulation difficulties, ADHD, and relationship issues, Silver Light Psychotherapy aims to offer a safe and inclusive environment where clients feel understood, empowered, and supported in their personal growth.
The expansion reflects an increasing demand for mental health services across all age groups. Many young people are struggling with academic pressures, identity development, and social challenges, while adults report heightened stress, burnout, and difficulties managing the competing demands of work, family, and personal well-being. Couples, too, are seeking guidance to improve communication, rebuild connection, and navigate major life changes. Silveira emphasizes that therapy can be transformative when individuals and families are given the opportunity to explore their concerns without judgment. “Mental health support should meet people where they are,” she explains. “Our role is to walk alongside clients as they navigate their experiences and discover the tools that help them move forward with confidence and clarity.”
Silver Light Psychotherapy offers services tailored to each stage of life. Children and teens benefit from a warm and creative therapeutic environment that supports emotional awareness, self-regulation, resilience, and positive identity development. Adults seek therapy for a variety of concerns, including anxiety, chronic stress, overwhelm, communication difficulties, and neurodiversity-related challenges. The practice also provides specialized support for individuals with ADHD, helping clients understand their unique strengths and develop strategies to succeed in school, work, relationships, and daily routines. Silveira notes that ADHD is often misunderstood and can carry unnecessary stigma. “ADHD is not a weakness. For many, it is a different way of experiencing and interacting with the world,” she says. “Through therapy, clients can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and learn practical approaches that help them thrive.”
In addition to individual therapy, the practice has expanded its marriage and premarital counseling services to meet the needs of couples seeking to strengthen their relationships. Whether partners are preparing for marriage, navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, or adapting to major life transitions, counseling offers a structured and supportive space for deeper connection. Silveira approaches couples work with a focus on collaboration, communication, compassion, and long-term relationship health. “Every relationship experiences challenges,” she explains. “Therapy provides an opportunity for couples to reconnect with each other, understand patterns that may be contributing to conflict, and develop healthier ways of communicating and supporting one another.”
Silver Light Psychotherapy is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and attachment-based approaches. Treatment plans are individualized and shaped by each client’s goals, values, and lived experiences. Sessions may incorporate creative or expressive techniques for younger clients who communicate best through play and art, while adults often benefit from practical skills training, emotional processing, mindfulness strategies, or structured therapeutic interventions. Across all services, the focus remains on helping clients build insight, strengthen resilience, and improve overall emotional well-being.
Accessibility is central to Silver Light Psychotherapy’s mission. Clients can attend in-person sessions in Newmarket or choose secure virtual appointments available to individuals and couples across Ontario. Flexible scheduling is offered to accommodate busy families, working professionals, and students. New clients are welcome to book a complimentary 15-minute consultation to ask questions, learn more about the therapeutic process, and ensure a good fit before committing to ongoing sessions. The practice is committed to inclusivity and welcomes clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and family structures.
By expanding its range of mental health services, Silver Light Psychotherapy continues to enhance its role as a trusted resource in the Newmarket community. The practice remains dedicated to delivering high-quality, trauma-informed care rooted in empathy, integrity, and respect. Silveira emphasizes that healing is a collaborative process and that therapy offers individuals and families a powerful opportunity for transformation. “Therapy is not about eliminating challenges,” she says. “It’s about building the emotional strength, skills, and self-awareness needed to navigate them with greater ease and confidence.”
