How Our Calgary Psychologists Make a Difference
Our trauma-informed psychologists can make a meaningful difference in people’s lives with counselling and assessments in Calgary or virtually across Alberta.
Managing Mental Health Concerns
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or a diagnosis you’re still making sense of, our registered psychologists provide evidence-based therapy that goes beyond symptom management. We work to understand what’s driving what you’re experiencing — and build practical, lasting strategies around that
Enhancing Self-Understanding
Many of our clients arrive knowing something isn’t working but not quite why. Therapy and psychological assessment can both be powerful tools for self-understanding — helping you recognise patterns, understand how your mind works, and make choices that are actually aligned with who you are.
Improving Relationships
Relationship difficulties rarely exist in isolation. Whether you’re working through conflict with a partner, navigating family dynamics, or struggling with how you connect with others, our therapists help you understand the relational patterns that keep showing up — and how to change them.
Supporting Life Transitions
New job, new city, new relationship, new diagnosis, loss, grief, becoming a parent — transitions can destabilise even people who feel generally well. Our psychologists provide grounded, practical support during the moments when the ground shifts, helping you move through change without losing yourself.
Why People Choose Solasta
A large, multidisciplinary team — 17 clinicians across counselling and assessments, so you’re matched with the right person for your specific situation rather than whoever is available.

FAQs
How much does counselling cost in Calgary?
In Calgary, counselling fees typically range between $160–$235 per 50-minute session, based on the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta’s recommended fee schedule. At Solasta, fees may vary depending on the therapist and service type, and we’ll always review costs with you before booking. We also offer sessions with counselling interns at a reduced rate, making therapy more accessible if cost is a concern.
Is counselling covered by Alberta Health Care or insurance?
Alberta Health Care does not cover counselling in private practice. However, we offer direct billing to select insurance providers — contact us to confirm whether your plan is included. Many clients are also reimbursed through extended health benefits after paying at the time of session. Coverage varies between plans — some cover registered psychologists only, others include registered provisional psychologists and counsellors. We recommend calling your provider before your first session and asking specifically what’s covered and what your annual limit is. We provide receipts after every session for direct submission to your insurer.
What happens on the free consultation call?
The free 15-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 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 4–6 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 both in-person sessions at our NW Calgary office (Suite 200, 1716 16 Ave NW — free parking behind the building) and secure virtual sessions across Alberta. Online counselling is a flexible option if you live outside Calgary, have a busy schedule, or simply prefer to attend from home. Both formats are equally effective for most concerns.
Located in Calgary (on 16th Ave NW – opposite North Hill Centre and two minutes from SAIT), we support individuals across Alberta, with in-person therapy in our NW Calgary offices and secure virtual care province-wide. Free 90-minute parking behind the building.
