Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCS
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) offering trauma-informed therapy to clients. Whatever you are struggling with, I provide a safe and authentic space to help you heal and move forward. Further, I fully recognize that your past experiences can quietly shape how you navigate the world today. Knowing that healing is a non-linear process, my goal is to provide the right guidance and support to help you make meaningful progress at your own pace. I am also a Canadian Clinical Supervisor (CCS), providing supervision to clinicians across the province.

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.

Lauren Hone
Registered Psychotherapist, CCC, Registered Psychotherapist, Yoga teacher
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if part of you isn’t sure what you’ll find when you get there. You might be used to holding things together on the outside while feeling anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed underneath. In our work, you don’t have to have it all figured out - you just have to show up as you are.
Clients often come to me when they’re ready to understand themselves more deeply, not just manage symptoms. Together, we make sense of the patterns that keep repeating in relationships, the inner tension, and the emotional experiences that feel hard to access or explain. As you begin to feel more grounded and clear, many clients notice a shift toward greater self-trust, more ease in their relationships, and a stronger sense of who they are.
If you’re looking for a space that feels thoughtful, steady, and genuinely attuned to your experience, this may be a good fit.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
I believe that meaningful change doesn’t come from forcing or fixing yourself, it comes from understanding yourself more deeply, and learning how to work with your mind and body, rather than against them. In my work as a clinical hypnotherapist, I often meet people who are capable, thoughtful, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, emotional eating, or self-doubt. These patterns can feel frustrating, especially when you’ve “tried everything” to change them. What I’ve seen, time and time again, is that real, lasting change happens when we gently access the deeper parts of the mind where these patterns are held. This is where hypnotherapy can be incredibly effective; supporting you to shift not just how you think, but how you feel, respond, and experience yourself day to day.
