Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
Living with chronic illness, ADHD, or autism can feel like moving through a world that wasn’t built with your needs in mind. The pressure to mask, push through, or repeatedly explain yourself can lead to immense grief, anxiety, depression, burnout, loneliness, and a deep sense of feeling unseen and misunderstood.
As a neurodivergent therapist with lived experience of chronic pain, and a parent to neurodivergent children, I understand the emotional and physical toll daily life can take. This is why I offer a therapeutic space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment or pressure to perform. Instead of seeing chronic illness and neurodivergence as something to be “fixed,” I believe people often need supportive tools and thoughtful guidance to live in ways that honour their unique needs and nervous systems.
My work is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy, guided by empathy and curiosity. Together, we move beyond temporary symptom relief by uncovering how past relationships and experiences shape your current reality (thoughts, behaviour, emotions). This approach fosters insight and self-awareness in an accepting environment, opening the door to lasting, meaningful change.
I invite you to reach out for free 30-minute virtual consultation to see if we are the right fit for your therapeutic journey.

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.

Lisa O'Donovan
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
You may be feeling disconnected from yourself or others, struggling with healthy boundaries, or wanting a deeper sense of self-understanding. Repeating patterns in relationships, or the ongoing impact of (C-PTSD) childhood trauma, relationship or family dysfunction, addiction, PTSD & accumulative occupational trauma exposure can feel overwhelming, confusing, & exhausting.
I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore your story, reconnect to your sense of self, & work towards emotional processing. Together, we can make sense of your experiences, support your nervous system, cultivate self-compassion and create meaningful shifts.
Together, we will focus on emotional organization, acceptance, and integration, empowering you to embrace self-compassion, cultivate acceptance, and foster empowerment. My goal is to help you increase emotional awareness and make conscious, positive changes that align with your authentic sense of self.
I invite you to explore your inner world in a space that values your unique experiences, your growth, and your emotional well-being.

Rubina Gogna
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, MA, RP
You know the hows and the whys. You have done talk therapy. And you are still stuck.
I'm Rubina Gogna, Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) and founder of Mindful Comeback Therapy in Ajax, Ontario. For over a decade, in community mental health and private practice, I have worked with teens, adults and couples who are ready to go to the root instead of just talking about it.
My approach is science first, feeling second. We make sense of what your brain and nervous system are doing, then create real change with psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, somatic therapy, inner child work and an attachment lens, plus practical skills from CBT, DBT and ACT.
In person in Ajax, serving Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa and Durham Region, and virtual across Ontario including Toronto. Sessions in English, Hindi and Punjabi. Book a free 15 minute consult.
