Executive Director, Registered Psychotherapist

Elisha Schafer, Registered Psychotherapist and founder of Lotus Counselling Services

Currently accepting new clients for OCD intensive treatment only. Elisha is not taking general intake at this time. If you are looking for intensive, specialized support for OCD, learn more about the OCD Intensive Treatment program.

Elisha believes that honest, open, and curious self-exploration is key to personal growth and wellness. She brings a genuine, caring, and often lighthearted presence to sessions, fostering a therapeutic space that is both compassionate and collaborative. Her approach is primarily rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), with a strong focus on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. Elisha actively participates in exposures with clients, helping build resilience, reduce anxiety, and increase tolerance for uncertainty. She also integrates concepts from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness to support a meaningful, value-driven life.

"You do not have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you."
