Your Story Matters!
We are a not for profit counselling agency located in the heart of downtown Calgary. We offer compassionately priced and social justice focused therapy for individuals and couples. We are proudly women led, BIPOC, Queer, Trans, and Relationally affirmative space.
We practice from a Narrative therapy perspective
Narrative therapy differs slightly from other approaches in that Narrative therapists center the stories of your unique lived experiences rather than over-valuing generic therapist advice. For example, we will write you therapeutic poems after each of your sessions to reflect on the stories of your life that we have shaped together rather than giving you homework of breathing strategies. We also believe that "the person is not the problem but the problem is the problem." Our lovely clients have taught us to make one assumption only: that problems, relationships, and struggles are far more interesting than you would perhaps give yourself credit for.
Our Services
We are committed to an affordable sliding fee scale based on income (starting at $45/session) as we don't believe that good counselling should be a super-privileged affair. We offer sessions flexibly both on zoom as well as in-person at our offices and on week days, evenings, or Saturdays, depending on your needs. We believe in medium-length therapy of 12-15 sessions as a perfectly fitting time frame to work out original understandings of your current struggles and accompany you in undertaking meaningful steps into the future of your dreams.
