About our Therapists.

Taylor Timmermans, MA

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.

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.

Paige Cahill, MA

My background is in anti-sexual violence advocacy and supporting survivors of sexual violence, and this is one of my main area of expertise. I also specialize in working with those who have experienced religious trauma and are navigating the process of deconstruction. Finally, I love working with couples who are navigating difficulties in their relationships, and those navigating grief/loss, anxiety, depression, burn-out/compassion fatigue, and life transitions.

Much of my experience has been in supporting men struggling with their mental health and with people who have been subjected to acts of sexual violence. I also enjoy providing relationship counselling to couples, including people who engage in all forms ethical non-monogamy. I find it really rewarding to work with people who are trying to process shame and learn how to take accountability for when they have harmed other people.

I am an OT that LOVES helping people figure out how to occupy themselves well. That's what OT is all about. What gives you meaning? What sensory experiences affect your day to day life?
