Shannon Paton (she/her)

Shannon is a dedicated and compassionate Registered Clinical Counsellor who brings over a decade of diverse experience to the field of mental health and therapy.  

In her sessions, she prioritizes supporting clients to identify, explore, express, and regulate emotions as a means of facilitating growth and healing.  While it is true that counselling can be challenging, she also believes it can and should include humour, hope, and be a comfortable place for self-discovery.  She offers a holistic, trauma-informed approach to support with concerns such as anxiety, grief and loss, depression, trauma, relationship issues, parenting, and life transitions.

Along with her Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology, her commitment to ongoing learning and professional development is evident in her pursuit of specialized trainings in Emotion-Focused Therapy, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as well as a Graduate Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy.

Beyond her professional endeavours, she enjoys spending time in nature, practicing yoga, snowboarding, playing soccer and tennis, dabbling in piano and guitar, and training her Border Collie.
