Registered Psychotherapist | True Psychotherapy

Hi, I’m Silvia, a Registered Psychotherapist at True Psychotherapy. I believe that therapy should be a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life. My approach is holistic, compassionate, and collaborative, recognizing that each person brings their own experiences, strengths, and needs to the therapeutic process. Together, we’ll explore what you’re navigating, build on your strengths, and work toward a path forward that feels right for you.

I draw on a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy, and Gottman Method approaches for couples. I tailor my approach to each client, creating space to explore difficult experiences, develop practical coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with what matters most to you.

I am registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). My educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences from Brock University, a postgraduate degree in Autism and Behavioural Sciences from Mohawk College, and a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.

My passion for mental health has grown through my work with individuals and families across diverse communities and settings. I have supported children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families through educational and community-based mental health organizations. My experience working with migrant workers from Mexico and Jamaica, as well as first responders, has deepened my appreciation for how culture, identity, and lived experiences shape the way we navigate life’s challenges. I strive to bring cultural awareness, openness, and respect into my work, recognizing that every person’s story is unique.

As a member of a Latino family where Spanish was spoken daily, I have a personal appreciation for the richness of language, culture, and connection. I love exploring new cultures and cuisines, travelling, and stepping outside my comfort zone to learn from new experiences and people. Outside of work, you’ll often find me watching soccer, a lifelong passion, or enjoying a walk by the lake with my dog, Bella.

At True Psychotherapy, I have a particular interest in supporting teens, adults, and couples navigating relationship challenges, trauma, and experiences of feeling disconnected from themselves. Whether you’re working through painful experiences, trying to understand recurring patterns, or hoping to feel more connected to yourself and the people around you, my goal is to offer a supportive space where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace.

You don’t have to navigate everything on your own. Therapy can be a place to pause, gain perspective, and begin moving toward a life and relationships that feel more aligned with who you are and what matters to you.
