Meet Ellyn

Ellyn Klea is a Registered Social Worker working at the intersection of mental health and sport. Her work is shaped by formal clinical training and lived experience within high-performance environments.

She grew up as a national-level synchronized swimmer and later coached in the sport. These experiences shape her understanding of the demands, intensity, and identity challenges that often accompany high-performance settings, and they influence how she approaches mental health care with attention to the whole person, not just performance.

Ellyn holds a Master of Social Work and has experience across a range of clinical settings, including community mental health and addictions, corrections, education, and private practice. This breadth of experience supports work with individuals navigating complex systems, sustained pressure, and high expectations.

She has completed advanced training in athlete mental health, including the IOC Diploma in Mental Health in Elite Sport and a Certificate in Sport Social Work. This training guides how care is tailored within sport and high-performance contexts.
