Christopher Cannon
Counsellor/Therapist, LPC, CAS, SEP
If you’ve done years of talk therapy and still find yourself stuck in the same patterns, part of the story may be held in your body. As a licensed counselor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I work directly with the nervous system, helping you notice what’s happening physically in the moment and giving old survival responses room to settle and finish.
I came to this work through my own developmental trauma, addiction, and depression. That history helps me meet people struggling with alcohol, drugs, or pornography without judgment, whether you’re aiming for abstinence or harm reduction. I hold a Colorado Certified Addiction Specialist credential and have been in practice since 2014.
I also work with complex PTSD, adoptee struggles, and couples, drawing on PACT and attachment-based approaches. More than twenty years of meditation and a master’s in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling from Naropa University inform everything I do, so spiritual questions are welcome. Expect warmth, curiosity, and some dry humor.
Online therapy is available to Colorado residents. Clients outside Colorado can work with me through somatic coaching by video. Private pay, superbills available, free consultation.

Ferzana Jamani
Counsellor/Therapist, BA, RTC
I want you to know me beyond my credentials. I grew up feeling invisible and inadequate, struggling with anxiety and low mood, and limiting beliefs that tainted my relationships. It took volunteering and self-reflection to recognize my own worth and seek help. It was a journey of healing for me too, as I confronted my insecurities and found connection and purpose and my dedication in serving others. Now, as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, I’m committed to guiding you with care and compassion. Therapy with me consists of transpersonal and somatic techniques focusing on your growth, emotional experiences and connecting your body and mind. Together we will explore your inner emotional experiences to help you repair the pain you have experienced and support you in feeling seen, heard and ultimately thrive, honouring your pace and vulnerabilities every step of the way.
I offer personalized sessions to address your unique needs, fostering insight and resilience. In a safe and supportive space, I provide active listening and empathy to build trust. Equipping you with tools for stress management, communication, and self-esteem, we navigate challenges together. Taking the first step toward therapy can be transformative; I invite you to schedule a FREE introductory consultation. Let’s unlock your potential and create positive change, empowering you to embrace the life you deserve.

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.

Roger Thiessen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS, M.Div
Who in your life truly listens to you? I base my practice in deep listening. I believe in your own inner owl: the innate wisdom you have but just can't find right now. My role is to provide a safe, gentle, non-judgmental and confidential space to help you get in touch with your wisdom so you can live your fullest life.
I've come to believe that the purpose of suffering is to help us better understand ourselves, our relationships and life itself. I would like to help you break through to what life has in store for you next. Fundamentally, there's nothing wrong with us; at difficult points in our lives, we all developed coping strategies that helped us survive but now, these strategies get in the way. Let's work together to facilitate your healing and growth.

Donna Wigmore Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, CT
The therapeutic connection we make will create possibilities for healing and emotional freedom. If you struggle with depression or anxiety we can work together to shift these patterns. If you have been overwhelmed and stuck in fight, flight, or freeze, we can explore how to navigate life in a different way, befriending your nervous system. I approach our work together as a feminist, Highly Sensitive Person, with a heart full of hope and gratitude to be able to work for justice and healing. Reach out if you think we might be a good fit. I am honoured by each person who lets me be a part of their healing. Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, we can use your spiritual ground as a place to land and know the infinity of resources that are available.
