Who We Are
About Syrah Yusuf
My focus as a Parenting Coordinator is giving you the framework to raise emotionally resilient children, providing you the tools you need to keep their environment peaceful, predictable and stable.
I was raised by a social worker, child therapist and educator, which is where I developed a passion for child welfare and protection. However, after obtaining my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology followed by simultaneously earning a law degree in Ontario and Michigan, I learned first hand about the overwhelming red tape actually involved in traditional family law and child protection work.
Disheartened, I turned my practice to corporate law, specializing in business law and estate planning. I spent 7 years building a thriving legal practice working with individuals and small businesses on their most critical professional and personal matters.
Throughout my time as a practicing lawyer, what I loved most was working face-to-face with my clients, educating them on their rights and helping them to make sound decisions on their business and personal needs. Although it might sound counter-intuitive to some, navigating families through life altering changes was the core to my practice. Understanding how complex family dynamics operate is imperative whether you are restructuring a multi-generational family business, or setting up trusts to ensure long-term stability.
Now that I have my own family, I have practical, lived knowledge about the rigours that parenting brings to a marriage and partnership. I am excited to bring my unique blend of legal precision, psychology background, and systems design together to help parents confidently navigate the labyrinth of co-parenting after separation or divorce.
Let me reduce the friction in your life, and help you plant the deep roots that allow safety and stability to grow for your child.
My Approach:
Children thrive under family stability. Our sessions belong in the boardroom, not the therapist chair.
I rely on systems-driven and analytical thinking. It is my job to cut through the emotional noise, distill complex parenting disputes down to their primary logical questions, and guide co-parents through effective communication strategies to a functional solution.
