Support For Alberta Teachers
Teaching is demanding at the best of times. With the uncertainty and stress of a province-wide strike, many educators are feeling added pressure – both personally and professionally.
At Solasta Counselling, we want to support Alberta’s teachers during this time. For the duration of the strike, several of our clinicians are offering counselling sessions at a reduced rate of $120 per session (about half of our standard fee).
Why We’re Offering This
The current situation has created significant uncertainty for educators. You may be experiencing:
Anxiety about the future of your work and your students
Strain in your personal or family relationships
Burnout from ongoing demands without resolution
Stress about finances, identity, or next steps
Counselling provides a confidential, compassionate space to talk openly, reduce stress, and regain balance. Our therapists can help you explore strategies for coping, building resilience, and protecting your well-being while you advocate for your profession.
Who Can Access This Support?
All teachers impacted by the strike are welcome. No proof of employment is required. Whether you’re a classroom teacher, substitute, or working in another teaching capacity, you are included.
Direct Billing and Easy Access
We understand cost is an added stress. To make counselling more accessible:
We direct bill to most major insurance providers
Sessions are $120 each during the strike period
Both in-person and virtual appointments are available
How to Book
Because our online booking calendar sometimes shows therapists as fully booked, we ask that you email us at admin@solastacounselling.ca or call 587-487-7015. Our client care team will make sure space is found for teachers who need support during this time.

FAQs
What types of therapy do you offer at Solasta Counselling?
At Solasta Counselling, we offer a wide range of evidence-based therapies tailored to your individual needs.
These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR for trauma, Narrative Therapy, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
Each approach is designed to help address specific challenges, whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, trauma, or other concerns.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Therapy can be helpful if you’re experiencing emotional or psychological challenges that affect your daily life, relationships, or well-being.
Common signs include persistent feelings of sadness or anxiety, difficulty coping with stress, or a desire for personal growth and self-discovery.
If you’re unsure, an initial consultation can help you explore your concerns and determine if therapy is a good fit for you.
What can I expect during my first session?
Your first session at Solasta Counselling will focus on understanding your unique situation and goals.
You’ll discuss your current challenges, personal history, and what you hope to achieve in therapy.
This session allows your therapist to tailor a treatment plan that suits your needs, while also giving you an opportunity to ask questions and build a comfortable, trusting relationship.
Do you offer virtual or in-person counselling sessions?
Yes, Solasta Counselling offers both virtual and in-person sessions to accommodate your preferences and needs.
Virtual therapy allows you to access support from the comfort of your home, while in-person sessions provide a private, welcoming environment at our Calgary location and throughout Alberta.
Both options ensure the same level of care and confidentiality.
How long does therapy usually take?
The length of therapy varies depending on your goals and the complexity of your concerns.
Some clients see improvement in just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support.
Your therapist will work with you to set realistic expectations and adjust your treatment plan as you progress.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes, all sessions at Solasta Counselling are confidential.
We follow strict professional and legal guidelines to protect your privacy.
The only exceptions involve safety concerns, such as risks of harm to yourself or others, which your therapist will explain during your initial session.
