Taylor Callaghan (She/Her), Graduate Intern Therapist
Heart Body Mind Psychological and Assessment Services
Hey there! I’m Taylor (she/her), a proudly neurodivergent graduate intern therapist at Riverwest Therapy Collective. My practice is grounded in respect, collaboration, and an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and social justice lens. I believe the systems we navigate—like family, culture, politics, religion, or even TV fandoms—shape our stories, mental health, and how we process trauma.
I began my journey facilitating peer support groups for survivors of domestic abuse, where I witnessed the healing power of vulnerability, connection, and storytelling. Therapy, to me, is about holding space for life’s messiness while challenging the social structures that shape us.
I strive to create a space of curiosity, warmth, and authenticity. Rooted in narrative therapy and informed by modalities like ACT, EFT, CBT, and mindfulness, my approach is deeply relational and tailored to you. I also integrate feminist, queer, and existential perspectives, empowering you to question the status quo, embrace your needs, and thrive as your most authentic self.
I’m passionate about supporting clients through ADHD, relationships, trauma, gender exploration, grief, life transitions, and the general chaos of life. I’m committed to a decolonizing approach, continually learning, unlearning, and honouring the intersectional and spiritual aspects of being human.
My goal (nay–DREAM) is that you leave therapy feeling equipped to navigate life’s fragility and empowered to thrive within the unique systems and contexts that make you, YOU.

Outside of work, you’ll find me exploring new arts and crafts – my current obsession is pottery, but dang is it hard! I also love going bouldering with friends, walking my dogs with my life partner (I have a Yorkie named Henry, and a Portuguese Water Dog named Beanie), binge-watching TV on my phone while multitasking around the house, or if I’m lucky, travelling!
