Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
My approach to supporting parents focuses on creating a collaborative, non-judgmental space to explore the joys and challenges of raising children. I help parents understand the dynamics within their family, identify patterns that may contribute to stress or conflict, and develop practical strategies to strengthen communication and connection. Using evidence-informed approaches, including behavioural guidance, emotional regulation techniques, and problem-solving skills, I support parents in building confidence, fostering healthy relationships, and promoting positive development for their children. My goal is to empower parents to navigate challenges with clarity, patience, and resilience while nurturing a supportive and balanced family environment.

Angela Jones
Registered Social Worker, MSW, BSW, RSW Registered Social Worker/ Psychotherapist
Parenting is deeply rewarding, but it can also be one of the hardest roles we take on. From managing daily stress to navigating your child’s emotions and behaviors, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times. I provide evidence-based support using approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help parents strengthen coping skills, set healthy boundaries, and parent in ways that align with their values. Together, we’ll work on creating a calmer, more connected family life.

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.

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.

Halifax is Atlantic Canada's largest city and a hub for universities, the military, and ocean-tech industries, creating a therapy community serving students, naval personnel, and knowledge workers navigating the pressures of high-achieving careers in a smaller city. Dalhousie University and Canadian Forces Base Halifax generate distinct demand for therapists who specialize in academic stress, military trauma, and the particular challenges of military family life. Nova Scotia Health provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving the South End, Bedford, and Dartmouth. Halifax's relatively small size means specialist therapist availability can be limited in some areas, and telehealth has become especially important for accessing care across Atlantic Canada.
