Founded in 2018 by Shauna Switzer, Switzer Counselling & Psychotherapy Associates has grown from a single Georgetown office into a trusted psychotherapy practice serving clients across Ontario and Canada through in-person and virtual care. Our compassionate team of Registered Psychotherapists provides evidence-based, client-centred therapy in a warm and welcoming environment.
With offices in Georgetown and Oakville, and the comforting presence of our therapy dogs Penny, Honey, and Flora, we’re dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing and growth. Guided by Shauna’s vision, our team continues to offer exceptional, professional care rooted in empathy, collaboration, and respect.
We understand how important it is to find the right fit when it comes to your mental health. That’s why we offer a no-obligation, 15-minute free consultation—a safe space to ask questions, share concerns, and explore whether we're the right match for you.
“The first step is simply a conversation.”
