Hello, I’m Sabitra, and I founded Wellness Horizon to offer warm, inclusive, and empowering counselling services. My goal is to create a safe and confidential space where individuals can heal, grow, and embrace change.
I approach therapy with compassion and a collaborative spirit. My practice is grounded in strength-based and holistic values, using techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centred methods tailored to each person’s unique needs.

My Background
On June 3, 2024, I proudly earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Windsor — a milestone that reflects my deep commitment to mental health and social justice. This academic foundation, paired with hands-on experience, allows me to provide thoughtful, effective support to individuals and families.
I also hold an Early Childhood Education diploma, which enriches my ability to guide families in:
- Understanding child development milestones
- Navigating Ontario’s education system
- Using developmental tools and strategies
Why I Do This Work
My path has not been without hardship. I’ve experienced personal loss, including the passing of loved ones due to COVID-19 and cancer. These profound experiences shaped my understanding of grief, resilience, and the importance of meaningful support.
They also inspired me to hold space for others — to walk beside them through sorrow, healing, and transformation.
My Focus Areas
I offer support in the following areas:
- Grief and Loss
Compassionate care for individuals processing loss and seeking a way forward. - Immigrant and Refugee Support
Helping newcomers navigate systems, build resilience, and adjust to new environments. - Family and Community Support
Working with families and communities to strengthen relationships and well-being. - Mental Health and Well-being
Promoting holistic care through workshops, counselling, and community connection.
My Journey in Leadership & Advocacy
I believe deeply in social justice, inspired by voices like Senator Dr. Wanda Thomas Bernard. As the Student Representative at the University of Windsor, I was honored with a certificate for my contributions to the School of Social Work.
Earlier in my journey, I completed a social entrepreneurship and leadership training (2013–2014) at the Daniel Centre in Toronto. Through this, I led civic engagement workshops in St. James Town, addressing social isolation and income challenges in collaboration with local organizations.

Community Work
As a Community Health Ambassador at Women’s Health in Women’s Hands, I promoted holistic wellness through workshops and community initiatives. This work helped lay the foundation for the kind of inclusive, accessible counselling I now provide.

A Heartfelt Commitment
I’m grateful to my family, elders, professors, and community members for their unwavering support. I carry their wisdom and encouragement with me in every client interaction.
Whether you’re seeking guidance through grief, adjusting to a new country, or simply needing someone to walk with you, I am here.
As a Nepali woman of colour, I bring cultural understanding and deep empathy to my work. My aim is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported on your journey toward healing.
