About our Therapists.

Natasha Chevalier, MA

I love working with kids (4 and up) dealing with anxiety and behaviour struggles; parents; young adults working through identity; and women who struggle with self esteem, perfectionism, and anxiety.

Paige Cahill, MA, R.Psych

I work with people who are navigating a variety of life challenges, from religious trauma and the process of deconstruction, to the lasting impact of institutional harm in medical, educational, or other authority-driven systems. I also support survivors of sexual violence, bringing my background in advocacy to create a trauma-informed space where clients are believed, heard, and respected for their unique experiences. I enjoy working with couples as they navigate connection, communication, and differences, and as a queer therapist, I’m committed to creating a safe, affirming space for queer and 2SLGBTQIA+ clients and couples. My approach is warm, grounded, and guided by respect for identity, belonging, and lived experience.

Amy Nydam, MC, R.Psych

I am the proud owner and founder of YEG Family Counselling. I specialize in helping individuals, families and couples when Neurodiversity, mental health, and other struggles are getting in the way of communication and connection. I also loves working with new moms, trans folks, queer couples and families, and those who have experienced religious trauma.

Janelle Cooper, CCC

I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor and am excited to be a part of YEG Family Counselling. My clients are often adolescents and adults looking for help with navigating trauma, C-PTSD, anxiety, neurodivergence, relationships, gender, sexuality and nonmonogamy.

Corey Anderson

I am a Counselling Therapist here at YEG Family Counselling with over a decade of experience in addiction counselling. I work with individuals and couples from all walks of life, with a special interest in supporting queer and neurospicy (neurodivergent) folks as they discover authenticity, strengthen relationships, and create lives that feel true to who they are, even when facing challenges.

Your Name Here

We are expanding and looking for inclusive, passionate nerds who want to join our practice. If you are a Psychologist, Social Worker, OT, or other health professional who is passionate about Attachment and Neurobiology and likes working with clients who are a little "different", you might just be our type of person.

Marek Buchanan, MACP

Hi Folks! I'm Marek, a Provisional Psychologist who loves working with relationship dynamics both individually and with couples. Much of my experience has involved supporting men struggling with their mental health, as well as people who've been subjected to acts of sexual violence. Another passion of mine is providing relationship counselling to people who engage in all forms of ethical non-monogamy. Finally, I also really like helping folks unpack their experiences and understanding of the complexity of neurodivergence. Whether those experiences are their own, or those of the people in their lives.

Juanita Gnanapragasam, MSc.OT

I am a therapist that LOVES helping people figure out how to live a fulfilling and authentic life. That's what mental health occupational therapy is all about. What gives you meaning? What sensory experiences affect your day-to-day life? What gets in the way of you doing the things you care about the most? I work with individuals across the lifespan, especially those who are first- or second-generation Canadians; young adults; and individuals with neurodivergent identities.

Taylor Timmermans, MA, R.Psych

I love working with neurodivergent individuals, couples, and teens who want to be themselves in a world where they do not always fit. I also enjoy working with families of all kinds, including parents and their adult children.

Tasha Neufeldt

I am a Music Therapist who enjoys working with anyone who is looking for support. I especially love working with children, youth and families, and have experience working with neurodivergent children. I really like helping children and youth navigate and understand their emotional experiences as well as their relationships with others and themselves.

Kayla McCagherty

I am a Mental Health Therapy Intern, currently finishing my Master’s in Counselling Psychology (Fall 2026). I’m excited to work with anyone who is looking for support or curious about what they might gain from therapy. I’m especially passionate about working with neurodiverse individuals, and I love helping people better understand their brains while discovering what works for them—by drawing on research and validating their own lived experience. I enjoy supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life and mental health challenges in a way that feels affirming, practical, and honest about the messiness and joys of real life.

Jasper

I am a spritely, independent kitty who comes to work with Amy when I feel like it. When you come through the door I will definitely come to say hi! I like all people and will try to make your day a little bit better.
