Shift Collab

Shift Collab Shift Collab is one of Canada’s leading therapy practices offering counselling and mental healthcare.

Founded in 2016 by Megan Rafuse and Jordan Axani, Shift Collab was born out of a desire to modernize the therapy experience by making it more human. This meant making therapy feel simple, actionable, and collaborative while being matched with a therapist who is relatable and truly understands you. In making this experience come to life, we knew we needed to offer more beyond our roster of skilled

social works and psychotherapists. As we pivoted, we came to realize that the therapy experience we offer became elevated by the warm greetings and laughter in the waiting room; the fact that we didn’t skimp on cheap coffee and tea; the friendships that would come from our community workshops; and the idea that a place where we explore our deepest wounds could also be a place of joy. We have since evolved, but our appreciation for the foundation we’ve built and beliefs we uphold remain the same. Shift Collab has since become one of Canada's leading group therapy practices, offering exceptional care coast-to-coast by providing individual, couples, family, and youth therapy. We help Canadians build the lives they want — one session at a time. Join our community to stay up date on new events, workshops, services, announcements, and more!

Giveaways, breathwork, good books, therapy conversations, and a whole lot of people showing up for themselves and each other.

Mental health month isn’t just a calendar thing for us. It’s a reminder that this community is real and that you don’t have to wait until you’re “ready” to be part of it.

Mental Health Month may be over but that doesn’t mean we stop showing up.

Mother’s Day is quietly one of the hardest days of the year for so many people, not because they don’t want to celebrate, but because they’re also carrying something no one else in the room can see.
ㅤ
The ache of wanting this. The exhaustion of still trying. The strange grief of celebrating something that also breaks your heart a little.
ㅤ
asked some of the therapists at to write a permission slip for exactly that feeling. For anyone on a fertility journey who needs someone to just say you don’t have to hold it together today.
ㅤ
Take what you need. 💙

The 75% We’re Not Talking About: A Fireside Chat on Men’s Mental Health and Su***de Prevention. Every day in Canada, 12 lives are lost to su***de, 75% of them men. These are fathers, brothers, friends, and colleagues whose struggles often go unseen, hidden behind stigma, silence, and outdated ideas of masculinity. This World Su***de Prevention Day, Unsinkable invites you to a heartfelt virtual fireside chat on September 10 at 12:00 PM ET on Zoom, featuring Joshua Bell, a national mental health advocate, along with men who’ve faced mental health challenges and a clinical expert from Shift Collab to provide guidance and support.

Together, we’ll reflect on:
💬 Why men are at higher risk
💬 How silence, shame, and isolation affect their well-being
💬 How we, as individuals and communities, can offer understanding, connection, and hope

Let’s break the silence, honor those we’ve lost, and create a space where men feel seen, heard, and supported. Because speaking up can save lives. Join us and be part of this essential conversation.
