Jewish Family Service Calgary has a team of professional, qualified counsellors who provide a variety of services including individual, couples, and family therapy as well as group work.

Our counsellors utilize a variety of theoretical approaches in their work, including: strength based, cognitive-behavioural therapy, systemic therapy, body focused therapy, and narrative therapy. We have a holistic, client centered approach to counselling; viewing the client in their environment and recognizing the importance of balance among cognitive, emotional, spiritual, social, and physical aspects of Self. Confidentiality and ethical practice are primary values of our program.

As practitioners, we are committed to the value of learning; demonstrated by our interest in new research and practices as well as our commitment to teaching graduate students.
