Dr. Ashwin Mehra
Psychologist, PhD, CPsych
Growth and healing are choices we can make. If you are reading this, you have already taken an important first step. You may be wondering whether therapy can help you take the next ones. Those steps might lead toward relief from distress, clearer direction, healthier relationships, better emotional regulation, insight into long-standing patterns, healing from the past, or movement toward meaningful personal goals. Each person begins therapy with unique hopes and expectations. My role is to support you in moving toward what matters most to you.
I offer an integrative, individualized approach to therapy rather than a one-size-fits-all model. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from St. John’s University in New York City through an integrative program that emphasized both depth and breadth of training. My clinical experience in New York and Toronto has provided me with extensive exposure to diverse populations and a wide range of psychological concerns. I work across the lifespan from children, adolescents, adults, to seniors and provide individual, couples, family, group, and parenting therapy, depending on what best fits a client’s needs. I have also conducted comprehensive psychological assessments evaluating cognitive functioning, personality structure, learning disabilities, and emotional or behavioral concerns. This breadth of experience allows me to approach each case with nuance, balance, and clinical depth. Please call for a free consultation!

Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
As a Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Director of Switzer Counselling & Psychotherapy Associates, I am passionate about providing compassionate, client-centered care that supports meaningful healing and personal growth. With over 20 years of experience in private practice, I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. I integrate modalities such as EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and personality disorder treatment to help clients build resilience, strengthen relationships, and process difficult life experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey built on trust, empathy, and authenticity. My goal is to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward lasting change and emotional well-being.
In addition to my clinical work, I am committed to supporting the growth of the psychotherapy profession through clinical supervision and mentorship of registered professionals and Master’s-level interns. I value ongoing learning, professional development, and fostering strong therapeutic relationships that promote healing and hope.

His goal is to help clients gain perspective, have more productive conversations, and develop practical ways to move forward. If something in your life or relationship isn't working the way you want it to, Wayne offers a place to start.

Suzanne St. John Smith
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
The reason clients return time after time, and year after year, is due to the fact that I've made it a priority to build a strong connection with them. I listen, I guide them when they ask, and I'm honest with my feedback. Simply, they trust me. and nothing could be more important to me or to them. And because my work has always felt like both an honour and a gift, I value the opportunity of being brought into the emotional lives of my clients where I can offer them the kind of safe space they may not have ever experienced previously.

I offer compassionate, trauma-informed online therapy for individuals seeking healing, clarity, and meaningful change. My practice is rooted in mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based therapy, and I am certified in Compassionate Inquiry®, a trauma-informed approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that supports deep emotional processing and nervous system regulation. Clients often reach out when they feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or ready to move beyond survival patterns related to anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, grief, or trauma. Therapy with me is collaborative, culturally sensitive, and grounded in safety, helping clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and build lasting emotional resilience.
