The Adler Centre provides affordable counselling to individuals, families, children, youth, and couples in our community. We offer reduced cost and sliding scale rates as well as parenting workshops using the Systematic Training in Effective Parenting (STEP) Model.

In this world where the sense of community is ever so thin, we have a longing for authentic and caring communities. Our mandate is to continue to build on this vision and we invite you to get involved.

Most Canadians will experience mental health challenges in their lives. We believe that everyone in our society should have access to counselling and mental health services when they need them. As a non-profit, many seeking our services are at or nearing their last resorts for receiving services.

The Adler Centre is a counselling clinic, internship and training site operated by the Adlerian Psychology Association of British Columbia (APABC) in Vancouver, British Columbia. We provide affordable, sliding scale counselling to the community and parenting workshops

Our clinic and programs are open to the most vulnerable members of our community with a focus on at-risk youth and families, marginalized groups, the disabled and those who are low-income or with unstable financial situations. 

We are determined to build community, encourage resilient children and nurturing families, schools and organizations building on democratic principles. 

These are some of the services we offer in the community:

• Affordable & Sliding Scale counselling
• Parenting Workshops
• Free groups for those who can no longer afford individual counselling
• Professional Development Workshops
• Parenting & Family Education
• Community Outreach Projects
• Parenting Facilitator Trainings
