Welcome To the Momentum Counselling Society
In the spirit of reconciliation, Momentum Counselling recognizes we are located in the area traditionally named Amiskwaciy (Beaver Hills). The phrase North Saskatchewan is based on the Cree word kis-is-ska-tche-wan meaning “swift current”. Edmonton is located in the Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations (www.treatysix.org) and the North Saskatchewan River Territory of the Métis Nation (mna@metis.org). Momentum Counselling respectfully acknowledges the culture of the Nêhiyawak (Cree), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux (Stoney) Indigenous peoples and specifically the ancestral space of the Papaschase Cree.

Mental Health Counselling
Momentum is a mental health counselling agency, supporting clients who would otherwise be unable to access counselling because of long wait lists or financial barriers. We are a non profit, registered charity led by a team of passionate mental health advocates who collaborate to provide Solution Focused Therapy.
Our counsellors are licensed to work throughout Alberta. Our virtual platforms allow us to reach any Albertan, regardless of where you live! For our virtual sessions, we use confidential platforms to connect and ask that you consider your environment when calling or connecting with us, find somewhere quiet and comfortable, where you are safe to share your thoughts and feelings.
Counselling Services, Social Work Services, & Support Groups
We offer virtual and in-person counselling sessions by appointment only. We specialize in providing Solution Focused Therapy to those who are in need of affordable and convenient mental counselling.
The cost of counselling is determined by our sliding fee scale, ranging from $8-$200 per session, determined by your total monthly household income.
Our drop-in support groups and workshops are no cost to participants, courtesy of our funders and sponsors.
Our social work services are available at no cost for those needing assistance with completing intakes, accessing community services, systems navigation, external referrals, development of support plans, and follow-up and continued support. Appointments can be scheduled through our reception team.
