MY STORY
Elena Schuller Masters of Social Work (MSW), Registered Social Worker (RSW); Individual, Couples & Family Therapist
From Conflict to Connection™ is the signature counselling approach developed by Elena Schuller, integrating evidence-based therapies to help individuals, couples, and families build stronger relationships, healthier communication, and lasting emotional well-being.
Why I Do This Work
People often come to therapy believing that something is wrong with them, their relationship, or their family.
I see something different.
I see people who care deeply about one another but have become caught in patterns of hurt, misunderstanding, fear, shame, or emotional disconnection.
After more than 25 years as a social worker and therapist, I have learned that beneath conflict is often a desire to feel heard, understood, accepted, and connected. That belief has shaped both my career and my philosophy of practice.
Healing begins with connection.
As a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Dalhousie University, I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, parents, and families through some of life's most challenging moments.
Every client teaches me something about courage, resilience, and the remarkable human capacity for growth.
In 2026, I was deeply honoured to receive the Quality Business Award for teh Best Marriage Counsellor in Port Coquitlam. While I am grateful for this recognition, the greatest reward has always been witnessing clients rediscover hope, rebuild trust, strengthen relationships, and experience meaningful change.
Over the years, I have trained extensively in the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focussed Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Community Reinforcement and Family Therapy (CRAFT).
Rather than relying on a single approach, I integrate these evidence-based therapies to meet each client where they are, recognizing that every individual, couple, and family has a unique story.
This philosophy also inspired me to create From Conflict to Connection™, a psychotherapy group that teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, communication, attachment, and relationship repair.
The name reflects more than a program.
It reflects the heart of my work.
I believe the conflict itself is not the problem. Conflict can become an opportunity for growth when people feel emotionally safe, understood and supported. And, therapy is not about becoming someone different. It is about rediscovering your strengths, deepening your connections, and building the life and relationships you truly trust. It would be my privilege to walk alongside you on that journey.
My invitation to you is that together, we can begin moving From Conflict to Connection™
