Calgary Counselling Centre is a charitable organization committed to providing compassionate, professional, and affordable counselling services.

For over 63 years, the Centre has been committed to providing compassionate, professional, and affordable mental health services to Calgarians of all ages and backgrounds from as young as 3 to over 90. We operate on a sliding scale, providing financial subsidies to those who would not be able to afford services. We haven’t had a waitlist for over 20 years, so those who need help can access it when they need it – no one is turned away. CCC also offers group programs which provide individuals with the support they need to work through emotional struggles in a safe and secure environment surrounded by others experiencing similar challenges. Each program is carefully researched and designed to support and complement individual counselling. In recent years, our community has experienced one challenge after another. Some of these include a global pandemic, devastating wildfires, record setting inflation, food and housing affordability issues and political tensions. From children to seniors – and especially those already vulnerable or marginalized – these challenges have taken a great toll on mental health.

In 2024, 61% of our 7,474 clients received subsidies due to their financial circumstances; with the largest client group paying only $8 per counselling session. Youth ages 12-25 were particularly in need, with over 71% requiring subsidies. Each increment of $500 provides 10 counselling sessions for the most vulnerable clients in Calgary and area who could otherwise not afford it.

With your gift to Calgary Counselling Centre you will help us meet the growing need for counselling services. Uncertainty in the economy, political divisions, and global conflict are having a negative effect on the mental health of people in our community. You can help.
