Choosing a therapist

The right therapist is part of the care

There is no single best therapist — only the right fit for you. These are the five things that actually differ from one person to the next. Compare them here, then open a full profile to see the details in context.

What to compare across the team

    Individuals, couples, families, children and youth, or groups. Each profile names the people and life stages a therapist works with most.

  • 2Areas of focus

    Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions — profiles list the concerns each therapist works with.

  • 3Credentials

    The team includes counsellors, therapists, marriage and family counsellors, psychologists, and mental health therapists, each shown with their designation.

  • 4Fee

    Individual sessions range $120–$235 based on credentials and experience, with each therapist's fee shown before you book.

  • 5In person or online

    In person in West Edmonton, or online and by phone across Alberta where appropriate — choose the format that suits you.

A full profile brings all five of these together in one place — the clearest way to get a feel for a therapist and decide whether they seem right for you.

Kindness and grace can guide the next step

Charis is a Greek word for kindness and grace. It is the spirit behind care that meets hardship with compassion and helps people move toward greater peace and balance, without promising a single path or outcome.

“You do not have to have every answer before you begin.”
