Our Team
Meaghan Nash
Hey there! My name is Meghan, and I am a Child and Youth Care Practitioner passionate about helping children, youth, and families navigate big emotions and life's challenges. I have a special interest in supporting neurodevelopmental differences, including ADHD and autism, particularly in girls whose strengths and needs can be less visible and often misunderstood. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and evidence-informed, focusing on helping young people build emotional regulation skills, confidence, and resilience while celebrating who they are. When I'm not in the therapy room, you'll usually find me exploring the outdoors, making memories with my family, or enjoying an iced coffee—because the best conversations often happen with one in hand. -- Meghan Nash - Owner, CYC-P meghan@horizonwc.ca 705-957-3611

Hi, I'm Kellsey! I'm a Child & Youth Care Practitioner (CYC-P) who is passionate about helping children, teens, parents, and families feel seen, understood, and supported.
I have a special interest in working with teens navigating ADHD, ASD, anxiety, and self-harm, using evidence-based approaches that are always grounded in authentic relationships, curiosity, and compassion. I believe that when young people feel safe to be themselves, meaningful change can happen.
Outside of counselling, I'm a dog lover, coffee enthusiast, concert-goer, runner, and video game fan. I know life isn't always easy, but no one has to navigate it alone—and I'd be honoured to be part of your journey.
