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.

Tehmina Ayana Meherali
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, CCC, CMHP
Healing happens in relationship and I create a heart-centered space for our work together. I have many years of experience working with clients on issues ranging from anxiety to relationship difficulties and life transitions. I use a therapy model called Internal Family Systems (IFS), which helps you understand the different parts of you that are experiencing challenges. For instance, there may be a part of you who is a perfectionist, or a part that may feel overwhelming anxiety. We get to know these parts of you in a compassionate and curious way, which helps you to get to the root cause. Through this clarity, a spaciousness opens up in your psyche and body, which can often lead to profound healing. I teach clients how to engage their mind, body, and spirit in the healing process.

I offer compassionate, trauma-informed online therapy for individuals seeking healing, clarity, and meaningful change. My practice is rooted in mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based therapy, and I am certified in Compassionate Inquiry®, a trauma-informed approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that supports deep emotional processing and nervous system regulation. Clients often reach out when they feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or ready to move beyond survival patterns related to anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, grief, or trauma. Therapy with me is collaborative, culturally sensitive, and grounded in safety, helping clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and build lasting emotional resilience.
