We work with individuals and parents/caregivers in navigating their concerns, and support them in taking actionable steps to better their mental health and further their overall functioning.

Begin your mental health journey here, at Hælan.

  • Whether the intended client is yourself or a child/adolescent, this is an opportunity for you to ask any questions about getting started with therapy or completing an assessment. We will also determine if our services and areas of competency would be helpful and valuable to you! If this is not the case, we are more than happy to provide you with referral options and guide you in finding a better fit.

  • Therapy: Let’s schedule an initial appointment! If the client receiving therapy is a minor, we will schedule two initial sessions: an Intake Session with the parent(s)/caregiver(s) and an Initial Session for the child/adolescent.

    Assessments: As an Associate with ARCH Psychological Services in Edmonton, all formal assessments are completed through their organization. Please visit https://www.archpsychological.com/ for more information or to book an assessment.

  • To ensure a smooth start to your therapy or assessment process, it will be helpful to complete the intake form that provides us the general information for your sessions. More importantly, you will need to read through and sign the consent form before the first appointment. For minor clients, there will be a separate form for the parents/caregivers to complete as well.

  • Don’t forget to double check your appointment date and time. We will send you an email and/or text reminder (as long as you didn’t opt out) closer to your scheduled session. If this is your first time attending therapy or first time completing a formal assessment, you can read through our FAQ’s to get an overview of how the initial appointment may go. We look forward to working together! See you soon!
