Zonaira Chaudhry
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist MSW, RSW
Living with intense emotions, relationship challenges, or identity struggles? As a BPD specialist trained in DBT, I understand that your experiences are valid responses to life circumstances. I work comprehensively across all areas of dysregulation - emotional, behavioral, interpersonal, and identity - while recognizing how these interconnect in your daily life.
My approach is holistic, often including family and loved ones to create an environment that supports your growth. While emotions may always be intense, together we'll build practical skills to navigate them effectively and create more stability in your life.
In our work, you'll find an accepting, judgment-free space where your experiences are normalized and understood.

Mary Mikhail
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BSW, MACP, RSW
Living with borderline personality disorder (BPD) can involve intense emotions, painful relationship patterns, impulsive urges, or difficulty feeling grounded in who you are. These experiences can feel overwhelming, but they don’t define you—and you deserve support that meets you with respect rather than judgment. Everyone’s experience of BPD is different, so therapy should reflect what you’re going through and what you want to work toward.
I draw on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), which combines acceptance with a focus on change. Together, we can build practical skills for managing intense emotions, getting through moments of distress, and communicating your needs in relationships. We can also explore patterns and past experiences that may be connected to your current challenges, so our work can address both what’s difficult right now and what may be keeping these patterns going. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable and focus on goals that matter to you.
