Service types
Choose the kind of support that fits today
Each format is offered by therapists who name their focus, credentials, and fee up front. Start with the shape of support that matches who it is for.
Individual counselling
One-to-one support focused on your own goals — room to work through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem, or a season of change.
Couples counselling
Strengthen connection and communication, work through conflict, and rebuild trust with a therapist who holds space for both of you.
Family counselling
Support for parenting strain, transitions, and conflict that has settled into a household's patterns — so people can hear each other again.
Children and youth counselling
Age-appropriate support that helps children and teens name big feelings and build coping skills that hold up outside the session.
Group therapy
Shared insight alongside people working through similar ground. Groups begin with a phone conversation about fit — there is no online group booking.
Concerns supported
Recognize the concern without turning it into a label
However it shows up — in your mood, your body, your relationships, or your sense of self — support here is organized around familiar territory, not diagnoses.
- Anxiety and depression
- Trauma
- Grief and loss
- Self-esteem and conflict
- Chronic pain or illness
- Relationships and transitions
- 2S/LGBTQIA+ topics
If you do not see your concern named here, reach out — this is a starting point, not a boundary.
Modalities & fit
Care varies by therapist, specialty, and fit
No single method suits every person, so Charis does not assign one online. Here is what varies across the team — and how to find the therapist whose way of working fits yours.

Before you book
Clear answers before you book
The questions people ask most often about starting counselling, answered plainly.
What should I expect in a first session?
Time to be heard. Your therapist will ask what brings you in and what you would like to be different, explain how they work, and help you decide together what happens next. There is no pressure to share more than you are ready to.
How does online therapy compare to in-person?
You meet the same therapists either way. In-person sessions happen at the West Edmonton office, and online or phone sessions are available across Alberta where appropriate and eligible — choose the format that suits your circumstances.
Do you see children and youth?
Yes. Children and youth counselling is part of the practice, with age-appropriate support for big feelings, coping skills, and family strain. Therapist profiles show who works with younger clients.
How do I choose the right therapist for me?
Compare the team by who they support, areas of focus, credentials, fee, and format. If you are still unsure, call 780-244-3530 and the practice can help you find a starting point.
