FAQs
What happens on the free consultation call?
The free 20-minute consultation call is a no-pressure conversation with the therapist you’ve selected — nothing to prepare, nothing to decide beforehand. You’ll have a chance to share a little about what’s brought you to therapy or what assessment you’re considering, ask any questions, and get a feel for whether it’s the right fit. There’s no obligation to book after the call.
How much does counselling cost in Calgary?
At Solasta, counselling fees vary depending on the therapist’s professional designation and the type of service. Registered Psychologist sessions are $235 for 50 minutes, while lower-cost options are available with other members of our counselling team. Visit our Fees & Direct Billing page for current rates.
Is counselling covered by Alberta Health Care or insurance?
Private counselling at Solasta is not covered by Alberta Health Care. Many extended health benefit plans cover services provided by registered psychologists, provisional psychologists, social workers, or Canadian Certified Counsellors, depending on the plan. We offer direct billing for many eligible plans and provide receipts when clients need to submit claims themselves. Because coverage varies, we always recommend confirming your specific benefits with your insurer.
How long do assessments take, and what do they cost?
Assessment length and cost depend on what’s being assessed. As a guide: adult autism assessments typically involve 2–3 sessions plus report writing and take 3–4 weeks from start to report; adult ADHD assessments are usually 1–2 sessions; child psychoeducational assessments vary based on the referral questions involved. Fees are discussed in full during your free consultation call before anything is booked — no surprises. Assessment fees are not covered by Alberta Health Care but may be partially reimbursable through extended health benefits depending on your plan.
What types of therapy do you offer?
We offer a wide range of evidence-based therapies including individual counselling, couples counselling, child and teen therapy, EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, Gottman Method, and Emotion-Focused Therapy, as well as psychological assessments for ADHD, autism, and learning differences. Each therapist brings unique specialties — our team page will help you find the right fit for your goals.
Do you offer in-person and online sessions?
Yes. We offer in-person counselling at our NW Calgary office at 1716 16 Ave NW, as well as secure online counselling throughout Alberta. Some Solasta clinicians can also provide online counselling to clients in other Canadian provinces and territories, depending on their professional registration and the regulations where the client is located.
What's the difference between a Registered Psychologist and a Registered Provisional Psychologist?
Both hold the same academic qualifications — a master’s or doctoral degree in psychology. A Registered Psychologist practices independently, while a Registered Provisional Psychologist is completing supervised practice hours under a senior registered psychologist. Both are regulated by the College of Alberta Psychologists and provide accountable, high-quality care.
What's the difference between a psychologist and a therapist or counsellor?
A registered psychologist has completed graduate-level training regulated by the College of Alberta Psychologists and can provide formal psychological assessments and, in some cases, diagnosis. A therapist or counsellor may hold similar graduate training but isn’t registered the same way, and typically doesn’t conduct formal assessments. Both provide valuable, evidence-based mental health care — the right choice depends on whether you’re looking for a formal diagnosis or ongoing counselling support.
When should I see a psychologist?
Consider reaching out if you’re experiencing persistent anxiety, depression, or low mood; going through a major life transition such as separation, grief, or job loss; working through trauma or PTSD; seeking a psychological assessment for ADHD, autism, or learning difficulties for yourself or your child; or needing a professional assessment for workplace accommodations or disability support. A free consultation is a good starting point if you’re not sure where you fit.
