Telling your story can open the door to deep and meaningful healing. Therapy provides an opportunity to gain insight and perspective; explore meaning and purpose; evaluate and cultivate your unique strengths; and acquire tools to experience and learn from difficult emotions. Elsaby is a kind and generous listener. She understands that life is a journey; and healing occurs through compassion and companionship. 

Elsaby has worked with many adults and young adults during her 20 years in the helping profession. Her areas of specialty include: depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, grief/loss, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, addiction, and emotional dysregulation. She also has experience treating complex trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, and workplace related psychological injury. She is a skilled practitioner of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness-based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Elsaby looks forward to collaborating with you to tailor therapy to your personal needs and goals.
