Everyone deserves a safe, confidential, and welcoming space to talk. With an inclusive and non-judgmental approach, our counsellors are here to listen, provide support, and help you build the tools you need to care for your mental health and well-being.
You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. At Counselling Alberta, our confidential, evidence-based counselling offers personalized support, addressing the unique challenges and experiences that come with being part of the 2SLGBTQI+ community. Whether you’re navigating identity, relationships, or any other personal challenge, our counsellors are here to provide the strategies, understanding, and compassion you need to create meaningful and lasting change. You’ll find support from professionals who see and value you just as you are – and are equipped to support you in a way that truly understands your journey.
We understand how important it is to feel supported and understood. During the intake process, you can share any preferences you have for a counsellor. We do our best to match you with someone who fits your needs. If, after a few sessions, you feel it’s not the right match, simply let us know, and we’ll help you find a better fit. Your relationship with your counsellor is key to making progress, and we’re here to support you in finding the right one.
Everything you share stays private—your counsellor will not share your information or anything discussed in your sessions with anyone else. The only exceptions are if there’s a serious risk of harm to you or someone else.
For online sessions, we use Microsoft Teams, which encrypts your conversations, meaning your sessions and discussions are protected from unauthorized access.
At Counselling Alberta, we make sure there are no financial barriers to access the counselling you need. Counselling fees are discussed with your counsellor and are determined based on income and ability to pay. No one is turned away.
For a lot of 2SLGBTQ+ people who are exploring their identity, the process doesn’t start with certainty—it starts with questions you don’t always have language for yet.
Pride Month is both a celebration and a reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by 2SLGBTQ+ communities. In this episode of Living Fully, counsellor Rasha Taha explores the history of Pride, the importance of visibility, and how identity is shaped by both personal experiences and the world around us.
William found himself struggling with depression and started to feel like he was caught in a cycle of negativity that was weighing him down. While he wasn’t sure if counselling would help at first, he quickly found that Calgary Counselling Centre provided a safe, neutral space where he could talk openly and begin working through his thoughts and experiences.
Although there has been progress, there is still more work to do in ensuring a fully supportive and affirming environment for the 2SLGBTQI+ community. Taking care of your mental health is essential, especially as you navigate the unique challenges of being part of this community. Let’s explore how you can protect your well-being and access the care you deserve.
