My name is Jeanne Sabga but my kiddos know me as Aunty Jeanne! From the moment I became an OT my dream and vision was to one day open the doors to Theraplay. When this dream came to life I truly believed the saying "when reality is better than dreaming". I am truly rewarded in my profession each day and have never looked back. I received my bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Health Science at York University, ON, Canada, and then went on to receive a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy at the University of Queensland in Australia. All of my internships have been in a pediatric setting, working with children and adolescents in acute inpatient programs and outpatient clinics. Shortly after graduating in November 2012, I was eager to return home and begin my career in the field of pediatrics. My passion in general is working with kids with motor deficits and delays, but more specifically kids with feeding challenges. I love engaging and learning from the children and families here in Trinidad and I will continue to be devoted to promoting the highest level of development. I feel so fortunate to work alongside the best multidisciplinary team in a clinic setting. I enjoy spending time with my family, my husband and three kids, and more recently enjoying the beauty of our island doing outdoor activities.

My name is Andrea Chamely and I'm the Mental Health Counselor at Theraplay. I've been working here since we opened our doors over 5 years ago. I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Warwick in England and then went on to complete my 2 Masters degrees at the University of Pennsylvania where I graduated with degrees in Mental Health Counselling and School Counselling. I went on to complete postgraduate supervision and licensing exams to get licensed in the US and get National Counselor Certification. My love for children led to my training and clinical experience being in child and adolescent treatment. It has been such an engaging and fulfilling experience getting to return home and begin private practice work in a setting like Theraplay with such passionate co-workers and families that have given me such great learning and growing experiences every single day.

Hi, I’m Charlotte (Edghill) Hamel-Smith also known as “Aunty Charlotte.” I achieved my degree in Speech and Language Therapy at the University of Reading, UK, and have been practicing in Trinidad since 2014. Throughout my course, I was fortunate enough to work with a wide variety of client groups, including both kids and adults. My passion for working with children however is the main reason I pursued this career, so upon returning to Trinidad I dove directly into paediatrics and haven’t looked back! Communication is a right, not a privilege, and I feel beyond grateful to help my clients improve their ability to connect and communicate with others on a daily basis!

Hi, I’m Eva Edghill! I was first introduced to Occupational Therapy by my sister, Charlotte, who is a speech therapist and I began volunteering with our director Jeanne in 2015. Ever since then, I knew I wanted to be an occupational therapist. I graduated in 2021 from Bournemouth University with a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy with first-class honors. Since graduating, I have been here at Theraplay helping kids to develop their motor skills, their ability to self-regulate as well as their social-emotional awareness. I feel so fulfilled at the end of the day knowing that I’ve given my all and worked hard to educate, support, and advocate for my clients and their families.

Hi! My name is Isabelle van der Steen. I am a clinical and health psychologist with a strong educational background and a passion for improving mental health. I graduated with a Master's degree in Psychology, specializing in Clinical Psychology, and Health Psychology & Digital Interventions from Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands. My academic journey started there with a Bachelor's in Psychology, where I delved into a diverse range of subfields, ultimately specializing in clinical psychology and obtaining a minor in legal psychology and behavioral economics.
My interest in psychology is multifaceted, and it extends beyond the traditional realm. I work with both children and adults in their various obstacles using mental health therapy. The dual specialization equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of mental health issues and innovative interventions for the digital age.

Hi, My name is Megan Joseph and I am a speech-language pathologist. After graduating with a degree in Business and Human Resource Management, and working two years in that field in Trinidad, I realized Speech-language pathology was my calling in life.

Additionally, I’ve gained pediatric experience while working at Boston Children’s Health Physicians Speech and Language Clinic in New York, and at a feeding intensive program at NYU Langone Health Rusk Rehabilitation Center. Speech-language therapy is my passion and I am eager to make a positive impact on my client's lives! Everyone deserves a Voice!

Hi! I’m Victoria George and I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. I got my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Miami. I loved it so much that I stayed there and went on to gain my Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. During my time in Miami, I gained practical experience by working in various clinics, schools and research opportunities. At the IBIS Clinic, I developed my skills in early intervention, which focused on preschool readiness, skill development, and behavior reduction. While I worked at Crystal Academy School, I conducted behavior assessments and implemented interventions for challenging behaviors. I further expanded my experience as a behavioral consultant for the CARD Summer Camp where I worked with classroom teachers to implement behavioral interventions. Additionally, my time at the Learning and Behavior Research and Training Lab allowed me to work with individuals and conduct research in specialized topics, both on the University of Miami Campus and at Little Leaves Behavioral Services. I feel so fortunate to have found this field and I am so excited to be home in Trinidad and to make a difference here.
