Elana Sures

Getting to the roots of what keeps someone stuck — not just easing the symptoms — is at the centre of how Elana Sures works. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor based in Vancouver, BC, she draws on an emotion-focused approach to help clients understand the patterns beneath their anxiety, self-doubt, relationship ruptures, and life transitions. Her manner is warm and direct, and clients often find that combination makes it easier to look honestly at what has been difficult to examine alone.

Elana works with individuals and couples navigating a wide range of challenges: the perfectionism or burnout that looks like ambition from the outside, the anger or emptiness that surfaces when someone finally slows down, the steady erosion of closeness in a relationship where two people are constantly reachable yet rarely truly present with each other. Her practice also extends to parenting struggles, pre-marital counselling, grief, and Jewish counselling for those seeking a spiritually informed approach.

She leads a group practice of five therapists in Vancouver and offers online sessions. A free 20-minute phone consultation is available for anyone considering whether working with Elana is the right fit.
