At the heart of Selali’s work is a simple belief: everyone deserves a space where they can show up as their full, authentic self without judgment or the pressure to fit into someone else’s expectations. As a Mental Health Coach, Neurodivergence Advocate, and community builder, Selali supports neurodivergent (ADHD and Autistic), LGBTQ2S+, and racialized individuals who are navigating identity, relationships, work, school, and life’s many transitions. Their approach is neuro-affirming, strengths-based, and grounded in the understanding that you are not broken—you’ve been navigating systems that weren’t built with you in mind. Rather than focusing on labels or what needs to be “fixed,” Selali helps clients build a deeper understanding of themselves through curiosity, self-compassion, and radical self-acceptance. Together, you’ll explore practical ways to work with your unique brain, reconnect with your strengths, and create a life that feels more sustainable, meaningful, and joyful. Drawing from lived experience and a deep commitment to social justice, Selali offers a welcoming, non-clinical space to process racialized trauma, gendered expectations, and the emotional toll of masking or constantly adapting to fit into neurotypical environments. Here, every part of your identity is welcomed, valued, and celebrated. Whether you’re trying to manage executive functioning challenges, better understand your sensory needs, build confidence, or simply feel more at home in yourself, Selali meets you with empathy, authenticity, and practical support every step of the way. Areas of Focus • Neurodivergent Coaching • LGBTQ2S+ Identity • Systemic Trauma Specialties • Executive functioning and everyday life skills • Sensory processing and self-regulation • Reducing masking and embracing authenticity • Building confidence in workplaces, schools, and other systems • Navigating life transitions with greater clarity and self-trust

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may be feeling stuck, anxious, stressed, depressed, or struggling with addiction, relationship challenges, anger, low self-esteem, or a sense of hopelessness. Whatever you’re going through, you don’t have to face it alone. I provide a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. As an immigrant from India and a therapist who has worked with individuals and families from diverse cultural backgrounds in Canada for over a decade, I understand the importance of culture, empathy, and trust in the healing process. My primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but I tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals. I also integrate techniques from Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Strengths-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy to support meaningful and lasting change. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey. Together, we will identify your strengths, set achievable goals, and work toward improving your emotional well-being in a culturally responsive and supportive environment. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing, growth, and resilience.

I’m a therapist and mediator with nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and organizations through complex life challenges. After nearly a decade as a divorce mediator, I worked with a family whose significant progress led them to choose to remain together—an experience that reshaped my perspective on how relationships heal. I returned to university to earn a Master of Science in Applied Psychology (Mental Health), grounding my work in evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), motivational interviewing, and expressive art-based interventions. I’ve worked across Canada with leading organizations, including Homewood Health and Morneau Shepell. Most recently, I served as a Crisis Management Specialist with Homewood Health in Nova Scotia, providing psychological support and critical incident stress debriefing for frontline professionals. I continue to provide therapy with the Canadian Centre for Counselling & Family Mediation Services and Kalm Mi Mind therapeutic services. My clinical practice integrates evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Motivational Interviewing, hypnotherapy, and expressive art-based interventions. I work with clients addressing relationship and family concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, life transitions, anger management, conflict, and substance use challenges—helping people move beyond crisis toward lasting, meaningful change

I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Carleton University with a minor in Psychology, followed by a Master of Arts specializing in Gender Studies from the University of Ottawa. I am a Registered Social Worker with extensive experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, adults navigating addiction, and people with developmental disabilities.

Whether you’re recovering from gender-based violence, navigating the burnout of parenting a neurodivergent child, or processing the impact of a late diagnosis, you may be carrying more than anyone realizes. You deserve a non-pathologizing, trauma-informed therapeutic space where your lived experience is understood and respected. My practice is grounded in the belief that neurodiversity and identity are strengths—not deficits to be fixed. Together, we can explore your experiences, build self-compassion, and foster meaningful, lasting healing.

As a neurodiversity-affirming EMDR therapist, I provide inclusive, evidence-informed therapy for complex trauma, PTSD, and addiction recovery. My areas of focus include trauma and PTSD, BIPOC mental health and racial trauma, LGBTQIA+ mental health, gender-based violence, and supporting parents of neurodivergent children. I work collaboratively with clients to address the effects of systemic oppression, including transphobia, racism, and ableism, helping them reclaim their sense of safety, resilience, and authentic identity.

Personal growth often means facing the thoughts, beliefs, and past experiences that keep us from living the life we want. If you wake up feeling anxious or unmotivated, feel stuck, or find yourself overwhelmed by life’s demands, you don’t have to face it alone. I provide a supportive, compassionate space where you can explore the challenges you’re experiencing and work toward meaningful, lasting change. Together, we’ll identify patterns that are no longer serving you, develop healthier ways of thinking and responding, and build practical strategies that help you move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and purpose. My approach is collaborative and grounded in empathy. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth when they feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or navigating a difficult life transition, we’ll work together at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on your unique strengths, values, and goals. Living with a disability has given me both professional and personal insight into the realities of overcoming emotional and physical challenges. Those experiences have strengthened my belief that while adversity can be difficult, it can also become a catalyst for resilience, self-discovery, and meaningful change. Together, we’ll acknowledge the obstacles you’re facing while building on the strengths you already possess. Wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to help you take the next step toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and authentically yours. I look forward to walking alongside you.
