From Anxiety to Ease

What From Anxiety to Ease does

From Anxiety to Ease is a Toronto, Ontario-based psychotherapy practice founded in 2015 by Melanie Banka Goela and Ellen Schlesinger, both former lawyers who retrained as therapists. The practice serves exclusively the legal profession in Ontario, with a stated cumulative reach of more than 900 lawyers. Service delivery is fully virtual, conducted via secure video or telephone, with scheduling handled through the third-party JaneApp platform and Google reCAPTCHA used for bot protection. No proprietary technology, mobile applications, or data systems are described in the source material.

The practice operates two go-to-market motions. The first is direct-to-individual therapy, with session pricing disclosed at $240-$265 per session across named therapists. The second is a B2B law firm counselling program launched in 2017, which embeds the practice inside firm wellness workflows. The therapy product line has been expanded from a single service into at least nine condition-specific offerings, including anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, ADHD, grief, relationships, and career transitions — each mapped to stress profiles characteristic of the legal profession.

Commercially, From Anxiety to Ease is a small, privately held, bootstrapped practice with no external funding. The team totals six employees, including four named therapists, two of whom are registered in both Ontario and British Columbia. The practice restricts itself to the Ontario legal market today but appears to be positioning for BC expansion. There are no disclosed awards, patents, partnerships, acquisitions, or institutional customers named in the source material.

Direct peers

• Two Chairs: Two Chairs is a venture-backed outpatient therapy practice operating virtually and in-person across multiple U.S. states, with matching-based sessions and B2B employer partnerships. Comparable to From Anxiety to Ease as a vertically-organized, virtual-first therapy practice that combines direct consumer bookings with employer program contracts.
• Octave: Octave is a virtual and in-person mental health practice offering individual and couples therapy with employer partnerships. Comparable as a therapy-practice-as-business peer on virtual delivery model, B2B employer programs, and per-session subscription pricing — though Octave operates in the U.S. across all client types rather than only lawyers.

Broad incumbents

• Modern Health: Modern Health is a global employer mental health benefit platform combining therapy, coaching, and digital self-serve programs. It is a comparable peer on the enterprise B2B contract motion and the vertical specialization thesis (employer-funded therapy as a wellness benefit), although it serves all professions rather than solely lawyers.
• Lyra Health: Lyra is a large employer-sponsored mental health platform offering therapy, coaching, and medication management to enterprise workforces. Comparable to From Anxiety to Ease because both pursue the B2B employer contract motion (Lyra at large-enterprise scale; From Anxiety to Ease at law-firm scale) and both serve employed professionals seeking specialized mental health care covered as an employee benefit.
• BetterHelp: BetterHelp is the largest direct-to-consumer virtual therapy subscription network. It is a comparable peer on the virtual-delivery model and self-serve online booking/therapy funnel that From Anxiety to Ease operates (per-session pricing, video sessions), though BetterHelp serves the general population rather than specializing in lawyers.
• Talkspace: Talkspace is a publicly traded virtual therapy and psychiatry platform selling to both consumers and enterprise benefit plans. It is comparable to From Anxiety to Ease on the virtual-delivery model, online booking, and B2B2C employer benefit positioning, though it operates across all client segments rather than focusing on lawyers.
• Spring Health: Spring Health is an employer-paid mental health benefits platform focused on precision routing, therapy, coaching, and psychiatry. Comparable for the same employer-funded B2B GTM and mental-health-as-wellness-benefit framing that From Anxiety to Ease uses with law firms — though Spring Health targets employers broadly.
• LifeWorks (now TELUS Health): TELUS Health (formerly LifeWorks) is a Canadian-based global employee wellness and mental health benefits provider with EAP, therapy, and digital health offerings. Comparable as a Canadian-domiciled employer mental health benefits provider with direct law-firm and corporate employer contracts — the most direct domestic incumbent competitor to From Anxiety to Ease's B2B law firm program motion.
• Headspace Health: Headspace Health combines the Headspace meditation/self-help product with the Ginger on-demand therapy/coaching platform, selling B2B to employers and payers. Comparable on the blended digital-content-plus-therapy B2B employer model that From Anxiety to Ease uses (free audio/video resources plus employer-paid therapy), though at vastly larger scale and broader scope.

Emerging players

• Calm: Calm is a meditation, mindfulness, and sleep platform expanding into employer mental health benefits and clinical offerings via Calm Health. Adjacent comparable on the digital mental wellness / employer-benefit positioning and free-resource funnel that From Anxiety to Ease uses, but Calm is primarily content/SaaS rather than one-on-one therapy.
