Sometimes, in our fast-paced lives, we need a little help to work out life’s problems.
Counselling can help you learn how to deal with your problems in a productive manner, and develop the skills to manage a stressful and changing environment.
Calgary Counselling Centre provides individual, couple, family, and group counselling for:

• Depression
• Stress
• Eating Disorders
• Separation and Loss
• Parent-Child Conflict
• Domestic Abuse Prevention
• Sexual Abuse
• Anxiety/Panic Attacks
• Sexuality/Intimacy
• Anger Problems
• Health Issues
• Personal Growth
• Self-Esteem
• Pastoral Counselling

No referral is necessary to initiate counselling services.
Receiving the help you need is quick and easy:

• Fill out our online Intake Form.
• Or you can download the printable Intake Form(PDF) and fax it to us: 265-8886.
• Or phone Intake at (403) 691-5991.
• One of our volunteers will conduct a 10 minute interview to assess your needs.

Based on Intake information, you will be assigned an appropriate counsellor who will contact you within 24 hours to book a session time. No counselling will be provided over the phone.

If there is a crisis, callers are asked to contact the Distress Centre (266-1605), where an experienced and trained telephone counsellor will assist you.

Volunteers conducting the interviews are trained intake workers, but they are not qualified counsellors. Counselling will begin in the first face to face session with a counsellor. There are no limits to the number of times a client can seek counselling, nor are there restrictions on frequency.

*Additional fees may be charged in relation to hypnosis therapy, the Driver Control Board program, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Treatment.

In order to register for a group program a client must first be enrolled in one-on-one counselling. The counsellor and the client then decide together if the client will benefit from participating in a group program. The counsellor that is assigned for one-on-one counselling will maintain your file throughout the group therapy process.

Group programs are offered on a regular basis throughout the year.

Fees for the Centre’s programs (with the exception of the Marriage Preparation Program) are based on a sliding fee scale, according to the client’s annual gross family income. Your fee will be established during the initial telephone call with our Intake Office. However, fee charges can be discussed with your counsellor during the first session, if the established fee is not manageable.

Fees are payable each session by cash, Visa, Mastercard, or Interac.
We no longer accept cheques for payment of counselling services. In order to provide efficient service, please inform our receptionist of any changes to your address or telephone number.

If you have medical insurance through work, or an educational institution, we will ask you for the following information:

• Insurance provider
• Coverage amount per calendar year
• Credential requirements for the counsellor

Your human resources or payroll department will be able to assist you in finding necessary information. You will need to pay for your counselling on the day of your session. We will then provide you with a receipt that includes your counsellor’s stamp (professional identification) so you can be reimbursed through your insurance provider. Calgary Counselling Centre does not provide credit facilities.
