Meet Shauna
Shauna Morrison is a registered clinical counsellor (MPCC - Provisional) with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association, an Associate Addiction Counsellor with the Canadian Addiction Counsellors Certification Federation, and group facilitator who believes that every person has the capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful change.
Drawing on a strong academic foundation in psychology and addiction counselling, along with advanced training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), somatic approaches, and evidence-based counselling practices, Shauna provides compassionate, evidence-informed care that honours the connection between thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and lived experience.
Beyond the ordinary
Her work is grounded in the understanding that healing involves both the mind and the body. By integrating nervous system regulation, somatic-based interventions, mindfulness-based practices, and integrative counselling approaches, Shauna helps clients develop greater emotional awareness, resilience, self-compassion, and the practical skills needed to create lasting change.
Area of Focus
Addictions & Concurrent Disorders
Shauna has a particular interest in supporting individuals experiencing substance use disorders and concurrent mental health concerns. She understands that addiction is often intertwined with trauma, psychological distress, and nervous system dysregulation, and approaches recovery with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-informed care.
Anxiety, Depression & Trauma
She also works with individuals experiencing trauma, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Recognizing that many thoughts, emotions, and behaviours develop as adaptive responses to difficult experiences, she works collaboratively with clients to understand these patterns while fostering healing, recovery, and sustainable well-being.
Group Therapy
In addition to individual counselling, Shauna facilitates psychoeducational and skills-based therapy groups that empower participants to strengthen emotional well-being, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
My Approach
Shauna's approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and client-centred. She believes that therapy should be both compassionate and practical, helping clients better understand themselves while developing the skills to navigate life's challenges with greater resilience, self-compassion, and intention. Her goal is to help clients move beyond symptom relief toward building a life that feels meaningful, connected, and worth living—a life that reflects their values, strengths, and hopes for the future.
What To Expect
Counselling is a collaborative process. Shauna strives to create a space where clients feel safe, heard, and understood as they explore the challenges that have brought them to therapy. Together, they will work toward developing greater self-awareness, practical coping skills, and meaningful, lasting change.
Shauna believes that understanding ourselves with curiosity and compassion creates the foundation for healing. Whether clients are navigating addiction and concurrent mental health concerns, trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, or life transitions, her goal is to help them better understand the patterns that may be keeping them stuck while building on their strengths to move forward.
