Our Calming Counselling Clinics in Edmonton & St. Albert
A Coastal Counselling Space Designed for Healing
The moment you step into our coastal-inspired, compassionate counselling and wellness clinics in Edmonton and St. Albert, you will notice the difference — calm, care, and intention in every detail.
A setting that feels grounded, peaceful, and welcoming.
Solace Psychology & Wellness is a thoughtfully curated mental health and wellness clinic serving Edmonton and St. Albert, offering compassionate, evidence-based counselling and integrative care for children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Our clinic was intentionally designed with a coastal-inspired aesthetic, drawing from the natural calm, rhythm, and grounding presence of the sea. Soft, neutral tones, gentle textures, and clean, airy spaces were chosen to create an immediate sense of ease — a place where clients can slow down, feel held, and begin the work of healing. Just as the ocean evokes steadiness and renewal, our environment is meant to support emotional regulation, reflection, and comfort from the moment you arrive. At Solace, healing is supported not only through skilled clinical care, but through the spaces we create and the care with which every detail is considered.
You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.

A Vision Rooted in Care: Our Founder’s Story
Our founder, Vanessa Goodchild (R. Psych), envisioned Solace Psychology & Wellness as more than a clinic — she dreamed of creating a true wellness hub for families and individuals, where professional support is available across all aspects of well-being. As a mother, Vanessa understood the importance of having a safe, nurturing space for children, parents, and caregivers, where mental health, nutrition, movement, and mindfulness can all be accessed under one roof. Her goal was to foster a community of professional support that empowers families to thrive together.
The coastal-inspired design of Solace was deeply influenced by Vanessa’s time living in Southern California, where the natural rhythm and serenity of the ocean created an immediate sense of calm and clarity. Drawing on neuroscience and research on the calming effects of water and nature, she intentionally brought the essence of the ocean to Alberta. Studies have shown that exposure to water or water-inspired environments reduces stress, lowers heart rate, and improves emotional regulation, creating an ideal setting for therapeutic work and holistic wellness.
Every element of Solace — from the soft, natural tones and clean lines to the abundance of natural light and thoughtful furnishings — reflects this vision. Vanessa designed a space that feels grounding, warm, and restorative, supporting both adults and children in feeling safe, calm, and present. Through this intentional environment, Solace embodies her commitment to whole-person wellness, integrating counselling, nutrition, yoga, massage, and other complementary services into one cohesive, family-friendly hub.

Solace: St. Albert Clinic
#508, 1 Tache Street, St. Albert, AB, T8N 1B4
Our St. Albert clinic is a warm, thoughtfully designed counselling space rooted in community care, connection, and comfort. This location offers both psychological counselling and nutrition counselling in a calm, coastal-inspired environment that supports privacy, ease, and meaningful therapeutic work from the moment you arrive.
While intentionally more intimate in size, the St. Albert clinic reflects the same high standards of care, professionalism, and attention to detail found across all Solace Psychology & Wellness locations. The space is designed to feel welcoming and grounding rather than clinical, helping clients feel at ease as they begin their work.
Clients are invited to settle in with a fresh cup of coffee or locally made premium tea, creating a gentle, unhurried start to each session and reinforcing our belief that healing happens best in spaces that feel human and connected.
Children, teens, and adults are welcomed into an environment that feels safe, respectful, and supportive. Our dedicated Play Therapy Room is thoughtfully designed to support children’s healing through developmentally appropriate, expressive, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, allowing young clients to communicate and process experiences in ways that feel natural to them.
The St. Albert clinic is more than a counselling space—it is a place where individuals and families can pause, feel supported, and engage in meaningful work toward wellbeing.
Kids’ Calm Cove
A gentle space for little hearts to heal and grow.
For our youngest clients, our Kids’ Calm Cove (Play Therapy Room) is designed as a gentle coastal cove—a calm, nurturing space where children can safely explore their inner world. Inspired by the rhythm of the ocean, this room honours the natural flow of children’s emotions, recognizing that feelings, like waves, can rise, fall, and change.
This bright and inviting space is thoughtfully curated with developmentally appropriate toys, games, creative materials, a sand tray, and expressive tools, allowing children to communicate in the way they know best—through play. Soft coastal elements and soothing tones create an environment that feels safe, warm, and grounding, helping children settle, engage, and feel supported.
Within this space, children are encouraged to notice, name, and express emotions as they come—whether calm like gentle tides or big like crashing waves. Play therapy allows children to explore experiences, build coping skills, and learn emotional regulation in a way that feels natural and empowering. Just as the ocean teaches resilience through movement and return to calm, this room supports children in finding balance, safety, and confidence within themselves.
As with the rest of our clinic, the Play Therapy Room is intentionally designed and carefully maintained, reflecting our deep respect for children’s emotional worlds and their unique healing journeys.

Every detail of our environment reflects our commitment to quality, professionalism, and thoughtful care. From soft, natural lighting and comfortable seating to gentle textures, muted coastal tones, and a natural flow between rooms, each element is carefully chosen to reduce stress and support emotional grounding. Like a calm shoreline, the space is meant to feel steady, safe, and welcoming.
We want every client to feel that they are entering a space where they can exhale, feel held, and build trust—a place where their well-being is genuinely prioritized, and where healing can unfold at its own natural pace.
