Therapy is a safe, confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges with the support of a trained professional. It can help you gain insight, develop coping skills, and create meaningful changes in your life.

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling to manage stress, emotions, or relationships, therapy can help. You don’t need to have a “crisis” to benefit—therapy can be a tool for personal growth and prevention.

The therapists in our collective support clients with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationships, parenting, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, chronic pain, and much more. If you're unsure whether we can help, reach out, and we’ll guide you. You can check out our long list of specialties here (maybe a link?)

Your first session is about getting to know you and creating a safe environment to process life’s challenges. You and your therapist will talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, your goals, and how you can work together. 

In Alberta, mental health professionals offer a range of expertise to support your unique needs. Here’s a quick guide to understanding their roles:

Registered Psychologist
Registered Psychologists are licensed and regulated professionals under the College of Alberta Psychologists. They have extensive training, including a master’s or doctoral degree, and specialize in assessing, diagnosing, and treating mental health concerns. Using evidence-based techniques, they provide therapy, assessments (e.g., ADHD or learning disabilities), and consultations to help individuals, couples, and families improve their well-being.

Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC)
Recognized by the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), CCCs hold a master’s degree in counselling, psychology, or a related field. They provide support for challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, and relationships. While not provincially regulated, CCCs adhere to high ethical standards, and their services may be covered by some insurance plans. We recommend checking your coverage or advocating for updates with your provider.

Master's Registered Clinical Social Worker (RCSW)
RCSWs are clinical counsellors with a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, regulated by provincial social work bodies. They focus on mental health concerns like trauma, anxiety, and depression, while considering social and environmental factors that impact well-being. Their unique approach blends therapeutic expertise with advocacy, connecting clients to resources and addressing systemic challenges to promote holistic healing.

No matter who you work with, you’ll receive compassionate, professional care tailored to your needs.

Each session is about 50 minutes. The duration of therapy depends on your goals—it can range from a few sessions to ongoing support over months or years. Often, trauma processing sessions like EMDR or ART can be up to 90 minutes. This is best discussed with your therapist.

Our fees vary depending on the therapist and type of service. We’re happy to discuss options, including sliding scale rates, to make therapy more accessible. Our goal is to increase access to therapy and decrease stigma. We offer low cost and no cost therapy through our therapy interns - we are happy to connect you and discuss this further if you are interested.
