Curio Counselling expands Calgary team to meet rising therapy demand

By AI, Created 10:40 AM UTC, May 20, 2026, /AGP/ – Curio Counselling has added clinicians and broadened services as demand for mental health care rises in Calgary and across Alberta. The practice now offers in-person and virtual counselling, with free consultations and specialized support for clients from children to adults.

Why it matters: - Curio Counselling’s expansion adds more access points for people seeking therapy in Calgary and elsewhere in Alberta. - The practice is aiming to reduce barriers with a free consultation, virtual care, and a wider clinician roster. - The new team depth also expands support for clients with needs that are often harder to match, including trauma, ADHD, and first responder mental health.

What happened: - Curio Counselling announced an expanded clinical team and broader service offering in response to growing demand for accessible, evidence-based therapy. - The Calgary practice is located at 1414 8 St SW in the Beltline district. - Curio now offers in-person counselling at its downtown office and virtual sessions across Alberta. - Founder and Clinical Director Meg Lindemulder leads the practice. - The team includes more than 14 registered psychologists, provisional psychologists, and certified counsellors. - Each clinician holds a Master of Counselling degree from an accredited university. - Clinicians are registered with the College of Alberta Psychologists, the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association, or the Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta.

The details: - Curio offers individual counselling for anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, and life transitions. - The practice provides couples and relationship therapy focused on communication, intimacy, and connection. - Curio also offers family counselling for families facing change, conflict, or transition. - Child and youth counselling is available for clients ages 4 to 17. - The practice includes play therapy and art therapy for children and adults. - Group therapy and workshops are part of the service lineup. - Clinicians use EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, Sandtray Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. - Curio’s expanded team includes specialists in religious and spiritual trauma, late-diagnosis ADHD, sexual concerns, first responder support, high-performance athlete mental health through Game Plan, and self-harm recovery. - The practice offers a free, no-obligation 20-minute phone or video consultation to help prospective clients assess fit before booking a paid session. - Hourly rates range from $185 for Canadian Certified Counsellors to $220 for Registered Psychologists. - Limited sliding scale spots are available for clients with financial constraints. - Curio describes itself as fully inclusive and welcoming to clients of all races, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, faiths, and cultural backgrounds.

Between the lines: - The expansion reflects a broader shift in therapy demand toward more specialized care and more flexible access. - Lindemulder said more adults are being diagnosed with ADHD later in life, more people are processing religious trauma, and more first responders are seeking help for the toll of their work. - The emphasis on therapeutic fit suggests Curio is competing on matching clients with the right clinician, not just on appointment availability.

What’s next: - Curio will continue serving clients in person in Calgary and virtually across Alberta. - The practice is likely to keep using consultations and a broader clinician network to route clients to the right type of care. - Interested clients can find more information on the company’s announcement.
