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.

Colleen Fava
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Reiki Practitioner, BA
I am a post-menopausal woman and get it - foggy-brained, emotional highs and lows, forgetful and tired? Experiencing irritability, having trouble concentrating or not recognizing yourself? My journey has led me to wanting to redefine what aging looks like for me and I'd love to support you with this too!
I am passionate about helping others and left a corporate environment to pursue a career in psychotherapy so that I could make more of a difference in this world. Are you overwhelmed by life and the monotony of the daily grind? Let's navigate this together!

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.

Maor Bernshtein, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
You may be holding your life together while emotions, memories, or ways of coping keep pushing you away from the person you want to be. I provide therapy for trauma, addiction, and borderline personality disorder, tailored to what you are actually going through. Together, we will look at how these concerns affect your daily life, make sense of reactions that feel hard to control, and develop practical tools for difficult moments. I draw from IFS-informed parts work, somatic and trauma-focused approaches, as well as DBT/CBT, to support greater stability, self-trust, and more honest, fulfilling relationships.
