Zonaira Chaudhry
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist MSW, RSW
Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? As a therapist specializing in DBT and integrative approaches, I help clients transform overwhelming emotions, unhelpful behaviours, and relationship challenges into opportunities for growth and authentic living.
Drawing from evidence-based methods (DBT, CBT, ACT, and EFT), I provide practical tools while honouring your unique journey. In our work together, you'll find a compassionate, judgment-free space where all experiences are welcome even the complicated ones.
I specialize in helping clients who are ready to explore new ways of living while acknowledging that their past coping strategies made sense for their journey. Together, we'll build the meaningful, balanced life you envision.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center is a practice built on the belief that healing takes time, safety, and depth. We are not a quick-fix model. We integrate neuroscience, attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and faith for those who desire it, so that change is not just behavioural but transformational. What sets us apart is our commitment to long-term relational work, nervous system stabilization, and whole-person care. We look at the patterns beneath the symptoms, the story beneath the survival, and we create a space where individuals, couples, and families can slow down enough to heal from the inside out. We are steady, clinically grounded, and rooted in the understanding that sustainable change happens when people feel safe enough to be fully seen.

Is your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, or difficulty managing big emotions? Perhaps learning differences, neurodivergence, family conflict, or life transitions are creating stress at home or school. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who want a supportive space to better understand these challenges. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships so clients feel more capable, understood, and supported in their daily lives.
I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), anxiety, school issues, learning challenges, and life transitions.

Sydney is the urban centre of Cape Breton Regional Municipality and the primary city on Cape Breton Island, a former industrial centre whose steel industry collapsed across the 1960s–2000s, leaving behind one of Canada's most contaminated industrial sites—the Sydney Tar Ponds—and a community that has grappled with the environmental, economic, and psychological legacy of industrial decline and contamination for generations. The Cape Breton Regional Hospital provides mental health services, and the community's tight-knit social fabric—Cape Breton is known for its Celtic cultural traditions, music, and community solidarity—provides genuine protective factors against isolation. Cape Breton University contributes to a modest growth in the regional knowledge economy alongside a student mental health dimension. Common therapy concerns include economic grief and community loss following industrial decline, environmental trauma, seasonal depression in an Atlantic climate, and the mental health challenges of a community that has shown remarkable resilience while confronting genuinely difficult circumstances.
