At Solasta, we support adults, parents, couples, and youth who want calm, clarity, and practical change. Many clients come to us for anxiety, burnout, trauma, grief, relationship strain, or questions about ADHD/autism. Others seek parenting support, help with school or work stress, or a space to process life transitions. You’ll find a caring, steady team that meets you where you are and moves at a pace that feels safe. Our team of psychologists and therapists offers evidence-based, culturally responsive care. Sessions draw from EMDR, ACT, CBT, emotion-focused, and somatic approaches.
Counselling is available online across AB and, with some clinicians, virtually in BC, SK, MB, YT, NT, NU, and NL. We also provide in-person therapy in NW Calgary and formal assessments: adult ADHD and autism assessments, plus psychoeducational assessments for adults and children, with clear reports and recommendations.
Getting started is simple: book online or contact our client-care team. We’ll match you with the right clinician and schedule daytime or evening appointments, in person or virtual. For assessments, we’ll outline steps, timelines, and fees so you know exactly what to expect.
