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.

Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
What if the way you see yourself isn’t the truth—but a story shaped by past wounds?
Our sense of self is shaped by early experiences, especially in relationships. If you grew up feeling unseen, unsafe, or unworthy, those feelings don’t just fade—they shape your choices, beliefs, and relationships. Maybe you struggle with anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt. These patterns didn’t come from nowhere—they were ways your mind and body learned to cope. But they don’t have to define you.
Healing is possible. Using a relational, trauma-informed approach rooted in attachment theory, complex PTSD recovery, and memory reconsolidation, I help people rewrite the beliefs that keep them stuck. Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s "wrong"—it’s about understanding and transforming the impact of what’s happened to you.
Together, we’ll explore the deeper patterns shaping your life, so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion—not just managing symptoms, but truly healing at the core.
You deserve to feel safe, connected, and whole. If this resonates with you, let’s talk. Book a free consultation today.

Jamie Clahane | Psychotherapy & Pastoral Care (virtual)
Registered Psychotherapist, MTS, RP
Thanks for taking the time to learn a little more about me. I am a registered psychotherapist providing pastoral psychotherapy for people in Toronto and across Ontario. This means I specialize in integrating clinical counselling and spiritual care. Why is this important? It is important because healing involves the whole person. Yes, healing involves emotional & cognitive processing and integration around unresolved wounds in one's life, but the deepest healing involves more. When we face personal struggles or crises it is an invitation to find deeper meaning and hope in our lives. It is here that I provide Christian counselling to help build a foundation of wellness and hope.
In terms of psychotherapy, I focus on healing deeper issues that contribute to mental health symptoms. People may be struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or more complex presentations, such as obsessive compulsions, addiction patterns, complicated grief, emotional dysregulation, and more. Instead of simply learning how to manage symptoms, my approach is to gently uncover and work to heal deeper issues underneath these symptoms that often include shame and self-rejection, unresolved grief, emotional injuries or trauma, for example. As we recover we can restore a healthy sense of self, a deepened faith, and a restored hope for one's life.

Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Exhausted from holding it all together?
From the outside, it looks like you have it all under control. But inside, you are running on empty.
You wake up already dreading the day’s demands, your mind foggy from another night of tossing and turning. The relentless whisper of self-doubt follows you everywhere, telling you that no matter how hard you work, it is never quite enough. You find yourself saying "yes" to everyone else while quietly suffocating your own needs, trapped in a cycle of burnout and being there for others' needs.
By the evening, you are desperately searching for a way to turn off the noise. Maybe it’s a second or third glass of wine to quiet your racing thoughts, or turning to food for comfort after a brutal day—only to be met with intense guilt, a harsh critique of your body, and a promise to "do better tomorrow."
This isn't a lack of willpower. It is the natural result of carrying too much for too long without a safe place to put it down.

Shane Smyth
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
I specialise in couples therapy. I love helping couples improve their relationship by increasing their ability to communicate openly and lovingly. I am trained in Gottman Couples Therapy to Level 3 and am a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist. I have also completed several sex therapy intensive trainings. I have over 15 years helping couples. Sexuality and desire discrepancies are something that I enjoy working it as this often becomes a shut down topic for couples. I try to make therapy as accessible and easy going as possible. I believe that everyone has the right to have a rich and meaningful life and through therapy I hope to provide clients with the space and skills to access their own inner resources as well as build meaningful relationships.
