Chris Lemky, M.A. (counselling) Practicum student

HE/HIM

Performance means different things to everyone. For some, it is the intentional pursuit of a dream or goal while for others it may be getting unstuck. Understanding where we are, and where we want to be, is the starting point for meaningful change and growth.

Chris works with clients to build confidence, mindset, and clarity by identifying resources and readiness. He helps clients engage with their current circumstances while focusing on creating a purposeful, intentional future. His goal is to support clients in developing the toolkit needed to navigate challenges independently.

As a business owner, athlete, and coach, Chris has experienced the highs of achievements and the lows of setbacks. These experiences inform his perspective. His coaching background in physical performance and health adds important depth to his whole person approach to mental health.

Chris believes that individualized, tailored support—grounded in each client’s strengths and experiences—is essential. His training and experience include over 20 years in competitive sport, 17 years of coaching, a B.A. in Behavioural Science and Kinesiology (2009), and current graduate training in Counselling Psychology (MA, expected 2026), for which he is completing his practicum.

Working with Chris may be a fit if you:

• Feel stuck and are seeking momentum

• Are working toward a specific goal

• Are ready to resolve a long-standing challenge

Chris is available for online and virtual appointments Monday to Thursday and on weekends.

Erin Zelinski, R.Psych

SHE/HER

We train our bodies and  skills so we can succeed. Most of us don’t extend that same effort toward mental performance or our relationships.

Tapping into your strengths is central to Erin’s approach. Erin will provide stability and safety as we combine new tools with what is currently working for you. She will support you in processing challenges and finding space for movement so you can progress with purpose and intent. As an athlete who experienced burnout, but eventually rediscovered her love of sport, she gets how hard it can be to work consistently toward a goal and overcome the obstacles that stand in our way.

While Erin specializes in working with athletes, her services can help us all to show up as we want to in any environment. Erin works with all of her clients to focus on what really matters so we can harness inner resources and thrive. 

Erin’s approach combines her experiences growing up as a speed swimmer in Saskatchewan with extensive formal training. This training includes a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Psychosocial Oncology (2018), PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience (2016), Masters of Science (2011) and Counselling (2020), and a Bachelor of Science (2007). 

Erin has spent years studying how our brains process information to construct our experiences and how these processes inform our physical and emotional wellbeing. She has published many articles in scientific journals and presented her research at dozens of international conferences.

Erin translates this training and experience into evidence based, individually tailored approaches to help you achieve your goals.

Erin is the performance psychologist for you if:

• you want to do better

• you’re feeling blocked

• you’re struggling with motivation or achieving your goals

Erin is available for online and virtual appointments Tuesday - Thursday.
