I believe that growth can be achieved through the 3 C’s which include clarity, change and comfort.

Clarity helps us to better understand ourselves and how our cognitions, behaviours and emotions are impacting our daily activities.

Change comes about once we have that clarity to then make healthy modifications to improve those cognitions, behaviors and emotions.

Comfort is usually what we are all searching for in our actions, relationships and ideas. Comfort is very important so that individuals can follow through with these new changes that may be initially uncomfortable, but with time, can become easier to perform as daily personal practices.

Our Approach Begins with the 3 C's

We offer a variety of clinical services that support kids, teens and adolescents facing mental health issues or challenges impacting their life. 

Through therapy, the goal is for individuals to better understand themselves by identifying strengths while also becoming comfortable with their shortcomings. This is done by helping clients talk through their challenges and discover healthy ways to address and overcome them. This is further achieved through listening to presenting concerns without judgement and supporting clients so that they grow from their challenges, recover from their pain and move forward with a better quality of life.

ABOUT US

The Inspiration Behind the Logo

Outline of a human head with a leaf inside, and the letters 'E.L.A.' in green.

The E.L.A. logo consists of the mind and a plant. The mind is where many of our barriers rest which then creates challenges for optimal functioning. The plant represents a holistic approach and the idea of growth. My aim is to help clients better manage their mental health overall and achieve growth.
