Registered Psychotherapist Georgetown

Marcus Costa is a Registered Psychotherapist at Switzer Counselling’s Georgetown office, practising under the supervision of Shauna Switzer. He works with children, teens, and adults, helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, better understand themselves, and develop the tools they need to move forward. His areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, and building healthy coping strategies.

Marcus believes that everyone has a unique story shaped by their experiences, relationships, culture, and circumstances. He understands that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and he strives to make the counselling process feel comfortable, collaborative, and free of judgment. He sees therapy as an opportunity to explore challenges, gain new perspectives, recognize personal strengths, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for each individual.

With a flexible and integrative approach to therapy, Marcus recognizes that there is no single path to growth or healing. He takes the time to understand each client’s individual needs, goals, and experiences, adapting his approach to help them feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether navigating difficult emotions, managing stress and anxiety, working through past experiences, or building confidence and resilience, Marcus aims to provide a safe and welcoming space where clients can explore what matters most to them.

Marcus believes that meaningful progress begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, compassion, and understanding. His goal is to help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, strengthen their coping skills, and feel more confident navigating life’s ups and downs.
