At Wholesome Psychology, we feel that it is important for everyone to have access to high-quality mental health care regardless of their financial circumstances. We provide affordable therapy services in Edmonton and St. Albert. We aim to reduce any financial barriers to therapy while providing professional and compassionate support to our clients. We provide affordable therapy with student therapists supervised by experienced psychologists.
What Is Affordable Therapy?
Affordable therapy relates to counselling services offered at a reduced rate, often provided by practicum or post-practicum therapists under the supervision of experienced, licensed psychologists. This provides access to therapy at a much lower cost without compromising the quality of care you receive.
Our affordable sessions are ideal for individuals, couples, children and families needing support with emotional challenges, relationship issues, life changes, or mental health concerns. At Wholesome Psychology, this initiative also supports the development of the next generation of therapists. If you are considering low cost counselling, our team is here to help.

Our practicum and post-practicum therapists are enrolled in accredited Master’s-level counselling psychology programs. Each student is interviewed and and closely supervised by a fully registered psychologist throughout their placement. Our therapists are able to support a wide range of concerns, including:

Who Should Consider Affordable Therapy?
Affordable therapy is a great fit if you do not have any extended health benefits are are experiencing financial barriers.
While sessions with practicum therapists are not covered by insurance or extended health plans, many clients have found this to be a significant and cost-effective starting point into counselling.
What to Expect When Working With a Practicum Therapist
Our booking process starts with a thorough intake process where we match you with a therapist aligned with your needs. Sessions can be completed in person at our offices in either Edmonton or St. Albert, or via secure virtual appointments.
Although our practicum therapists are still in training, they still use evidence-informed practices and many have prior experience within the mental health field.
