Psychology Team

Natasha Fernandes
Natasha
Masters Counselling Intern
Natasha is currently completing her master’s degree in counselling psychology at Yorkville University and is excited to be joining the Third Academy team for the 2025/2026 school year. She brings over three years of experience in the social services field, where she has supported youth, families, and individuals in navigating diverse needs and overcoming challenges. Natasha is passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment for growth, drawing on creativity, and evidence-based strategies to empower students in their development.

Outside of her practicum, Natasha values time spent outdoors and the grounding connection that comes from being in nature. She believes that, just as the natural world cycles through seasons, students experience seasons of their own as they cultivate resilience and discover what helps them flourish.
