Wisdom from the Ages
At Community Counselling Centre, we believe in a holistic approach to well-being that recognizes there is no single path to personal growth, healing, or understanding. We draw inspiration from the many “Gems of Wisdom” found across spiritual, philosophical, cultural, and scientific perspectives, recognizing that each can offer valuable insights for our everyday lives. Our team is committed to creating a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free environment where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. We know that in addition to your concerns, you also bring your own nuggets of wisdom, of transformation. Discovering and mobilizing your hidden gems is an exciting part of the therapeutic journey. By meeting you where you are and considering the whole person, we work alongside you to explore meaningful perspectives and practical strategies that support your overall well-being.
Frequently Asked Questions
We know you may have questions. Here are some helpful answers to guide you before getting started.
What is a sliding-scale fee?
We believe that quality counselling services should be affordable for all people, so we provide one of the most generous sliding fee scales ($40 – $200 per 50 minute session) in Edmonton. Our affordable counselling rates are determined based on each client’s individual needs and apply to both short and long-term counselling.
Do you direct-bill?
Many of our therapists offer direct billing with certain insurance companies. If we are not able to direct-bill, a detailed receipt will be provided so that you can submit for reimbursement. If you are hoping to use an insurance policy for coverage, it is important that you check in advance to see what type of coverage you have (amount covered per session, whether your plan covers Psychologists/ Social Workers/ Certified Counsellors, etc.).
Do you do online sessions?
Yes, we offer in-person, online (video), and phone sessions, depending on client preference.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies widely based on each client’s individual circumstances and is something your therapist will discuss with you during your intake. We often recommend more frequent sessions to start (ie. weekly or bi-weekly) to gain momentum, with a natural transition to less frequent sessions over the longer term. The number of sessions required depends on what a client is wanting to work on; for example, developing strategies for managing a specific acute issue in their life vs. understanding long-standing relationship patterns or processing trauma.
Do I need a referral?
No, you do not need a referral to work with a therapist at the Community Counselling Centre, all you need to do is fill out our brief intake form, found here http://communitycounsellingcentre.ca/contact/
How long does an appointment last?
A typical therapy session is 50-minutes, but this may vary depending on client need and the type of therapeutic approach being utilized.
How does confidentiality work?
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of counselling and we believe that the delicate nature of the therapeutic relationship is to be built on trust and transparency between the counsellor and the client. We follow the guidelines set out in our relevant Codes of Ethics (Canadian Counselling Association, Code of Ethics; Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychologists; etc.), keeping all information shared during therapy confidential, within legal and ethical limits. We prioritize your privacy and any limits to confidentiality will be discussed with you during your intake.
Are you a religious organization?
No, however, we welcome practitioners and clients of all faiths and traditions and we draw on the timeless wisdom that can be found in many of the world’s religions.
