Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Parenting can be rewarding, but it can also bring stress, uncertainty, and emotional challenges at every stage of a child’s development. Therapy supports parents in strengthening communication, improving coping skills, navigating behavioural concerns, and fostering healthier family relationships. I use Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) to support parents and families.

Eileen Deswiage
Counsellor/Therapist, BSc., MSc., RTC., MTC., Registered Counseling Supervisor
With over 25 years of experience providing counselling and support services to children, youth, adults, and families, I am deeply committed to helping individuals move toward meaningful and personalized growth. My work is grounded in compassion, connection, and the belief that positive change is possible when people feel supported, understood, and empowered.
Throughout my career, I have worked alongside individuals and families impacted by mental health challenges, emotional overwhelm, parenting stress, and life transitions. I have also facilitated a variety of parenting groups focused on education, support, self-care, and parent management strategies, including approaches informed by the Kazdin Method.
My approach is relational, practical, and tailored to the unique needs, strengths, and goals of each person and family.

It's a supportive space to develop skills that promote a positive home environment where both parents and children can thrive.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Walking that line between structure and discipline and allowing your children to grow and explore on their own is not easy. Finding that 'balance' - and still finding time for yourself and for your career and partner - needs the support of community not always available to help. I will listen to you while you find your own unique way, occasionally drawing on and sharing my experience as a mother, single parent, foster parent, wife, daughter and career woman. Being a parent is not only the most important job, I think it's also (perhaps) the hardest job (to do well). I believe an important part of parenting is to teach children to be curious, mindful, accepting and respectful of the world and to help them understand their own needs and how to address and fill those needs, themselves, by the time they reach adulthood.

Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP

I help parents understand their own emotional responses while developing healthier communication, boundaries, and regulation strategies. We explore how family patterns may influence parenting and support more intentional responses to children's emotional needs.

Saskatoon is Saskatchewan's largest city and an emerging hub for agriculture technology, mining, and biotechnology — sectors that shape a therapy landscape distinct from more diversified Canadian metros. The city has a significant Indigenous population, with First Nations and Métis residents comprising a larger proportion of urban residents than in most Canadian cities outside Winnipeg, and therapists offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded care — including work on intergenerational trauma from residential schools — are an especially important part of the local mental health landscape. Saskatchewan Health Authority provides public mental health services, while the University of Saskatchewan's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local community. Saskatoon's cold winters and geographic isolation contribute to seasonal mood challenges that therapists here address as a recurring clinical priority.
