Counselling for teens and youth
You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Support to help you handle challenges, build confidence, and feel understood.
Counselling that works — tailored to you.
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 know that as a teen, money can be tight. But that shouldn’t stop you from accessing support. Our fees are based on a sliding scale, meaning you only pay what you can afford. Rest assured, we never turn anyone away based on ability to pay.
-
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.
