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

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.

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.

Tasha Neufeldt

I am a Masters-Level Mental Health Therapy Intern 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.

Corey Anderson

I am a Masters-level Mental Health Therapy Intern here at YEG Family Counselling with over a decade of experience in addiction counselling. I work with individuals, couples, and families 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, MA

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 occupy themselves well. 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.

Tiffany Snow

I am a Masters-level Mental Health Therapy Intern here at YEG Family Counselling. I have worked with teens, adolescents, and adults navigating issues related to their identities, especially marginalized individuals, such as those who identify as members of gender and sexual minority groups, ethnic minorities, or those who have experienced growing up in the welfare system. I wholeheartedly believe that challenging situations make resourceful and resilient individuals; therefore, I strive to empower clients by merely highlighting their innate strengths so that they may feel more confident as they navigate day-to-day living.

Peggy Bain

I am the administrative assistant at YEG FC. On the other end of the phone is a warm smile waiting to speak with you and help with any inquiries you may have. I look forward to answering your questions and concerns either by phone or email.

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.
