Elie Bouka
Practicum Student
I am a former USPORTS and professional football player who graduated from the University of Calgary and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and currently finishing a Masters in Counseling Psychology. Today, I bring that experience into my work as a developing therapist.
In my athletic career, I have learned that it is not a matter of if, but when. We will all experience challenges in our life. Those experiences taught me the value of resilience, perspective, and growth lessons that now guide my work as a therapist.
I deeply enjoy supporting clients as they navigate their own challenges, whether that means overcoming obstacles, developing coping strategies, or uncovering their inner strengths. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and the belief that every struggle carries the potential for personal growth. For me, the most rewarding part of this work is witnessing individuals discover their resilience and move toward greater well-being, confidence, and fulfillment.
