Meet ELLEN SCHLESINGER, FORMER LAWYER, CO-FOUNDER, LICENSED

Ellen is an outside the box thinker who connects her clients to ideas, inspiration, and their innate capacity to problem solve and design possibilities. She does this while understanding the practicalities, realities, and constraints of our careers and everyday life. With empathy, compassion, and humour, she helps clients gain strategies to cope in the immediacy of their current challenges with depression, burnout, grief and loss, anxiety, adult diagnosis of ADHD, fertility and choice parenting. She also specializes in providing non judgmental therapy for men. 

Ellen received a JD from the University of British Columbia and was called to the Bar of BC after articling at a national firm. She earned a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Adler University (Vancouver, BC) where she investigated the emotional experiences of lawyers for her graduate thesis. She’s worked in a variety of public mental health care settings as well as providing individual counselling to JD and International LLM students at Osgoode Hall Law School.
