Elisabeth Schellekens, the visionary founder of Elle's Corner, is on a mission to revolutionize the way society approaches motherhood and mental health.

As a passionate Motherhood and Mental Health Counselor, Elisabeth's driving force is to create a supportive community that ensures no mother has to face the challenges of postpartum depression (PPD) and postpartum anxiety (PPA) alone.

With a rich academic background in psychology and drawing on her own harrowing experience with a difficult pregnancy and severe PPD, Elisabeth provides mothers with the essential resources and tools they need to build resilience and thrive during their postpartum journey.

Elisabeth is also a fierce advocate for dismantling the taboos surrounding mental healthcare. She believes that everyone should have access to affordable, accessible mental health support, and she's dedicated to dispelling common myths surrounding PPD and PPA.

In her ideal world, regular mental health checkups would be as routine as dental cleanings, starting in high school.

As Elisabeth continues to break barriers and inspire change, her impact reverberates far beyond the walls of Elle's Corner. She is not just a counselor; she is a catalyst for a societal shift that places mental health at the forefront of our collective consciousness.  For more information, please visit www.elles-corner.com

ALAN FEIGENBAUM is an experienced matrimonial and family law attorney whose prime focus is the maximization of his clients’ long-term, post-divorce, emotional capital.

Alan assists a diverse range of professionals and their spouses, including business owners, lawyers, investors, and entertainers, on their family law matters, with a notable focus on evaluating the optimal strategies to manage and resolve complex financial and custody disputes.

He is well-versed in managing agreements (separation, prenuptial, and postnuptial) to create a framework for his clients’ futures, and approaches dispute resolution with an eye toward facilitating cooperation and reducing conflict, making every effort to settle cases out of court.

Understanding that divorce can affect the trajectory of a person’s life, Alan focuses on his clients’ long-term financial and familial best interests. His multifaceted approach has included:

• Working with financial experts to identify and define the scope of assets acquired by a spouse before the marriage, thereby eliminating litigation over whether those assets are part of the marital pot;
• Resolving the disposition of a spouse’s interest in a business without resorting to a pro forma approach that assumes complex valuation of that interest is always required;
• Reaching agreement on the payment of expenses while a divorce action is pending, without the need for costly, interim support motion practice;
• Negotiating interim parenting schedules by empowering parents and not substituting attorney judgment for that of the parents;
• Settling contentious custody disputes without involving court-appointed professionals, sparing the family from the potentially lasting effects of domestic relations litigation; and
• Prioritizing the value clients place on financial independence both during and after the divorce action concludes, including in the case of the nonmonied spouse evaluating the financially feasibility of retaining the marital home.

Alan also has significant courtroom experience, including first-chair trial experience in domestic relations matters and, at an early stage in his career, examining witnesses before the U.S. International Trade Commission.

He also speaks and writes frequently on matters of family law. Alan is a regular contributing columnist for the New York Law Journal on matters of divorce law.

For his pro bono work at the firm, Alan is a volunteer discharge upgrade attorney for The Veterans Consortium. Outside the Firm, Alan and his wife, Talia, live in Maplewood, New Jersey with their two children.
