Hello, I’m Ela Partyka, the founder, principal counsellor & consultant behind Elavate.
I’m a master’s-prepared, registered social worker (RSW) with over 20 years of clinical experience and more than a decade in leadership roles across healthcare, government, and nonprofit sectors. I also hold an MBA, which supports my work at the intersection of people, purpose, and performance.
Holding an MSW and an MBA, I created Elavate to combine my two greatest passions: supporting individuals and couples through compassionate, client-centred counselling AND helping organizations lead with clarity, excellence, and sustainability.
As a counsellor, I help people navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and personal growth by offering a safe, supportive space for reflection and transformation.
As a purpose-driven, results-oriented leader and consultant, I partner with organizations to strengthen workplace well-being, drive strategic planning, and support meaningful, sustainable change. With expertise in program development, project management, and system transformation, I help teams thrive through thoughtful, evidence-based solutions.
At the heart of all my work is a simple truth: whether in therapy or business, meaningful change begins with connection, clarity, and courage.
You can also find me on Instagram at @elavate_counselling_consulting, where I share reflections, resources, and encouragement for growth—both personal and organizational.
