about

Jelena is a Registered Social Worker (BA, MSW, RSW) who has spent years supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions — first across clinical and community settings, and now through her own practice, Jelena Counselling, in Saskatoon. Her approach draws on CBT, DBT, ACT, and emotion-focused work, and she's trained in EMDR for trauma, but the constant across all of it is the same: a warm, collaborative space where people feel heard instead of diagnosed.

She sees adults in-person in Saskatoon or virtually anywhere in Saskatchewan, and is approved for NIHB, Victim Services, and most extended health plans, so cost isn't always the barrier people assume. At Alt Academy, she's part of the Health & Wellness group for the same reason so many owners end up in her office: running a business is often the thing quietly wearing people down, and there's no unit-economics fix for burnout.
