Feeling stuck as a young adult? We can help!
Early adulthood comes with a lot of changes. It’s exciting, but it can also feel messy, uncertain, and overwhelming. But you don’t have to navigate it alone.
When life feels uncertain, support can make all the difference
As a young adult, you’re not supposed to have everything figured out yet. But that uncertainty can feel scary. Maybe you’re figuring out life on your own for the first time. Maybe you’re feeling pressure to make the right decisions about school, work, or relationships. Or maybe you’re just not feeling like yourself and you’re not sure why.
Whatever you’re dealing with, talking to someone can help.
We can support you as you:
Work through anxiety or stress
Learn who you are and what you want
Set boundaries and build healthy relationships
Navigate big transitions or tough experiences
Build confidence and self-compassion
Learn tools for the future
Find clarity when things feel uncertain
At Counselling Alberta, you can get support with no waitlist, fees that fit your budget, and flexible appointment options including in-person and online sessions. We know asking for help isn’t always easy, but it’s that first step that can make all the difference.

Don’t be! We believe counselling should be affordable and accessible to everyone. That’s why we use a sliding fee scale, so you only pay what you can afford.
If the price you’re quoted doesn’t feel manageable for you, just let us know! Your counsellor will work with you to find a price that fits your budget. We’ll never turn anyone away based on their ability to pay.

At Counselling Alberta, we make it easier for you to access support when and where you need it. We offer day, evening, and weekend appointments, so you can find a time that fits your busy schedule.
You can access counselling online from anywhere in Alberta, or in-person through one of our partner agencies in Brooks, Edmonton, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Lethbridge, Red Deer, Medicine Hat, and Vegreville.
-
That’s totally okay. You don’t need to have a plan, or everything figured out before you come in. In your first session, your counsellor will ask about your goals and what brought you in. From there, they can help guide the conversation and make you feel comfortable. Counselling is a safe space to talk, think out loud, or just get things off your chest—even if you don’t know the right words yet.
