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.

Hardie Counselling & BrainWorX, Inc
Registered Psychotherapist, BFA, B.Ed, MA, CPC, CCPCPR, CCAC, ICADC, CSAT, CCTP, CCTACP
For over three decades, I have had the privilege of helping clients while striving to provide the very best of counselling therapy they have entrusted me with. I am committed to excellence by staying at the forefront of therapeutic advancements, integrating current and effective techniques to empower clients in achieving their goals efficiently. In my practice, I provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive space where individuals can flourish, develop self-assurance, and embrace their full potential. My mission is to help clients overcome challenges, unlock their ability to lead fulfilling lives, and realize their authentic selves. I am dedicated to ensuring each individual feels seen, heard, and empowered to reach their goals.
Counselling has had a transformative impact on my own journey, serving as a powerful means of redemption and personal growth. It is now an immense blessing for me to be able to provide counselling for others, extending hope and facilitating healing in their lives, a possibility I firmly believe in because I, too, have navigated and overcome what once appeared to be insurmountable challenges and obstacles. I have made many mistakes and experienced many challenges, heartache, and sorrow, as well as incredible blessings in my lifetime. Today, I give God thanks for all His gifts – for the peace and assurance that I have even in difficult circumstances; for health, healing, and forgiveness; for family and friends; for the opportunity to do the work I do; and for His love that permeates my life.
I was divorced after 27 years of marriage and have two adult children. I married Bob Hardie in 2000, but was widowed in 2008. I have since remarried to a rancher who was also widowed. Together, we have 4 children, 8 grandchildren (one in Heaven), and 1 great-grandchild. We enjoy traveling and spending time with friends and family.
In addition to my private practice, I have a strong commitment to community outreach through my church, where I have actively facilitated various supportive and educational classes. These include GriefShare, a comprehensive program specifically designed to assist individuals navigating the complexities of grief and loss after experiencing the passing of a loved one. I also lead the Boundaries class, which is tailored for those facing separation or divorce, providing valuable insights and practical strategies to cultivate healthier relationships by establishing and maintaining personal boundaries. Furthermore, I facilitate the Changes That Heal class, offering a transformative experience that empowers participants to gain a deeper understanding of their past experiences, enabling them to build a more resilient and fulfilling future.

EMDR
Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Finding your way back to a sense of balance, clarity, and inner steadiness is not always easy. Life can feel painful, confusing, or overwhelming at times, especially when you are carrying anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, grief, identity questions, or major life transitions.
In therapy, I see our work as collaborative. You are the expert on your own life and story, while I bring clinical training, curiosity, and experience to help us better understand what you are facing. My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and grounded in mindfulness. I integrate approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, MBCT, EMDR, CBT-I, and the Unified Protocol when appropriate.
I do not see mental health as the absence of painful thoughts or emotions. Difficult experiences are part of being human. What often matters is how we relate to those experiences and whether we can still move toward a life that feels meaningful, connected, and aligned with our values.
My hope is to offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood as a whole person, not simply a collection of symptoms or problems. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, emotional steadiness, and meaningful change.

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.
