Suzanne St. John Smith
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
When working with clients experiencing parenting challenges, I help them explore the emotional and relational dynamics at play — both within the parent–child relationship and within themselves. Together, we look beneath the surface of behavior to understand what’s really being communicated, fostering greater empathy, patience, and self-awareness. My approach emphasizes strengthening connection, setting healthy boundaries, and developing practical strategies that align with the family’s values. Ultimately, the goal is to support parents in feeling more confident, grounded, and attuned — creating a home environment where both they and their children can thrive.

Parenting can be especially challenging when you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally triggered, or trying to heal from your own childhood experiences. Whether you're a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) or simply want to break unhealthy patterns, together we'll strengthen your emotional regulation, build confidence in your parenting, and help you respond to your child with greater calm and connection. My goal is to help you become the parent you want to be while creating a healthier, more secure foundation for your family.
For:
parents healing from narcissistic or emotionally neglectful childhoods,
parents struggling with burnout,
parents who lose their temper and feel guilty afterward,
parents who want to break generational cycles.

Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage, Couples, LMFT. Psy.D. Trauma-Focused CBT
Parents are not always able to guess their children need. A major reason why children and adolescents often experience difficulty with developing individuality in their emotional growth, is the need for self-validation, self-expression and boundaries in discovering the difference in right & wrong.

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.
