LEADERSHIP TEAM
Ashley Mielke
Founder & CEO
As the founder and visionary of our company, I am deeply passionate about our mission of serving others who have been impacted by loss. It was the pain of my father’s suicide and the hope I found through my healing that inspired the purpose and vision that drives our company today. That same journey also informs our leadership approach, our values, and our decisions, ensuring that we never lose sight of what God has called us to do; to serve and meet others in their pain. As a leader, I am passionate about nurturing a culture that is safe to be vulnerable and to be human, and one that cultivates love, generosity, and belonging. It is my greatest privilege to lead a team of heart-centred and purpose-driven human beings who are committed to our “WHY” and genuinely desire to help others heal and transform their lives after loss.
Margot Crane
DIRECTOR OF CLINICAL SERVICES
As a Director of Clinical Services, I deeply value holistic, compassionate, heart-centred care for individuals as they embark on their healing journey. I am passionate about providing clinical leadership, consultation, and mentoring for our clinical team. I believe that collaboration amongst our team facilitates support, growth, continuing competency for the clinician and promotes responsible client care. As a placement supervisor and internal Provisional supervisor, I journey with supervisees in their professional evolution, to consolidate knowledge into practice and refine their clinical skills.
Justine Elliot
Director of Clinical Services
As a Director of Clinical Services, I am passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and their parents on their healing journey. This interest comes from the importance of early intervention work to address intergenerational patterns that may lead to issues later in life. By supporting children and their families, we are able to change the trajectory of grief and trauma into experiences of healing, growth, and resiliency. I enjoy providing mentorship and consultation for our clinical team, guiding our intake and ethical procedures for child therapy, and coordinating programming for children and their families.
Gina Baretta
Director of people & Culture
As the Director of People and Culture, I oversee all matters related to our team and culture. I am passionate about planning events and opportunities for our team to connect and deepen relationships and I facilitate our teammates’ experiences from onboarding to exiting and everything in between! I believe in the power of a strong work culture as it brings people together and inspires trust, safety, and connection. Our values as a company not only serve our clinical work but also lay at the foundation of our leadership approach and work culture. By intentionally choosing love, serving humbly, inspiring belonging, and honouring wholeness, we are cultivating an environment that is safe to bring your whole, authentic self to work.
