Meredith Dow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CPC
As a mum of five kids, I get it. I get how hard it is to be the parent you hoped to be, when your kids are struggling and the work is piling up and the time is short. Often parenting can bring up struggles from our past, default ways of relating which we don't want our kids to experience. As we face our own pain, we're able to heal both for our own sake and the sake of our kids.
They're worth it, and you're worth it.
I also get how hard it is to prioritise your own healing. That's why sessions are available both in-person (to get away from the stressors at home and work) and online (to access therapy in the small window of time you have available).

We love our children with all our heart and soul, and while it is one of the most rewarding jobs we will do it can also be the hardest.

Parenting is the hardest job and most important role we will have and you don't have to face those challenges alone. Book a free 15 minute consultation to see if you feel I would be a good fit, connection and trust is a pivotal part of this journey in counselling.

Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Parenting can be rewarding, but it can also bring stress, uncertainty, and emotional challenges at every stage of a child’s development. Therapy supports parents in strengthening communication, improving coping skills, navigating behavioural concerns, and fostering healthier family relationships. I use Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) to support parents and families.
