Zonaira Chaudhry

I am a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist based in Markham, working with first responders and public safety personnel navigating operational stress, post-traumatic stress, and the toll the work takes over time.

My primary framework is Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), alongside Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). I specialize in these modalities because they’re honest about what they ask of people: that changing deeply entrenched patterns is difficult, and that it isn’t impossible. I work with trauma, emotion dysregulation, and anxiety, taking a holistic approach where your relationships, your context, and the strengths you already have all shape how we work.

I see therapy as a collaboration, where I’m an active and present part of the process and encourage the same from you. Our focus stays on you and the life you’re working to build
