Award-Winning Marriage Counsellor | Couples & Family Therapist | Registered Social Worker

Helping Individuals, Couples, and Families Move from Conflict to Connection

Are you feeling stuck in recurring arguments, overwhelmed by parenting challenges, struggling with anxiety or stress, or feeling disconnected from the people you love? Perhaps you’ve tried to improve things on your own but continue finding yourselves caught in the same painful patterns.You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.

I am Elena Schuller, a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the BC College of Social Workers and the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Dalhousie University and bring over 25 years of clinical experience, including more than 12 years in private practice.

I am honoured to be the Winner of the 2026 Quality Business Award for Best Marriage Counsellor in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. This recognition reflects my commitment to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that helps clients strengthen relationships, overcome challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I work with individuals, couples, parents, and families who are seeking to improve communication, rebuild trust, strengthen emotional connection, navigate life transitions, manage anxiety and stress, resolve family conflict, and support loved ones affected by substance use.

My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and spiritually respectful. I believe every person has strengths, and together we can identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck while developing practical tools that foster healthier relationships, emotional resilience, and lasting well-being.

My work integrates evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including:
• Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Levels 1 & 2)
• Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT)
• Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT)
• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Solution-Focused Therapy
• Motivational Interviewing
• Family Systems Therapy
• Narrative Therapy
• Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT)

Whether you are working through relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, emotional dysregulation, family conflict, anxiety, or major life transitions, therapy provides a safe, supportive space to explore new perspectives, strengthen emotional connections, and build practical skills that promote lasting change.

From Conflict to Connection™
I am also the creator and facilitator of From Conflict to Connection, a structured psychotherapy group designed to help couples and parents reduce conflict, manage emotional reactivity, strengthen attachment, improve communication, rebuild trust, and create emotionally safe relationships.

Drawing from attachment theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, CBT, trauma-informed care, and Family Systems Therapy, this group provides practical tools that participants can immediately apply in everyday life.
