Natasha Chevalier, MA

Paige Cahill, MA, R.Psych

Registered Psychologist

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.

Marek Buchanan, MACP

Registered Provisional Psychologist

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

Registered Occupational Therapist & Counselling Therapist

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.

Kayla McCagherty

Mental Health Therapy Intern

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.
