Getting Started with Therapy

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and we want to make the process as simple, supportive, and stress-free as possible. At Wholesome Psychology, we believe that the foundation of effective therapy starts with finding the right therapist for you. That’s why we offer 50% off your first session, giving you the opportunity to explore whether your therapist feels like a good fit without a full financial commitment.

Here’s how to get started:

1. Find the Right Therapist

We encourage you to explore our therapists’ backgrounds, specialties, and approaches using our Matching Tool on the website. This tool helps guide you toward the therapist who aligns best with your needs. You can also visit our Our Team page to learn more about each therapist. If you’re unsure, don’t worry—our team is here to help!

2. Chat with Us

Give us a call at 780-904-4880 to speak with our admin team. This call is a chance for us to understand your concerns, answer your questions, and help you choose a therapist that fits your needs.

3. Schedule Your First Session

Once you've chosen a therapist, we’ll book your initial session. This first meeting is designed to help you and your therapist get to know each other, discuss confidentiality and consent, and set therapy goals. It’s also an opportunity for you to assess whether this feels like the right fit.

4. Build Your Therapeutic Journey

Therapy is a collaborative process. In the early sessions, your therapist will work with you to explore your challenges, strengths, and patterns. Together, you’ll develop a personalized plan to help you navigate your concerns and work toward meaningful change. Our therapists use a range of approaches, ensuring that your therapy is tailored to your unique needs.

5. Continue with Follow-Up Sessions

Most clients begin with weekly or bi-weekly sessions, but we’ll work with you to create a schedule that fits your life. Therapy is flexible, and we adjust as needed to best support your progress.
