About Us

About Us

At Supporting Wellness, we believe that well-being is about more than getting through difficult moments. It is about feeling grounded, supported, and understood as you move through life. We aim to create a space where people can slow down, feel heard, and take meaningful steps toward feeling more like themselves again.
 
We know every journey is different. Some people come to us feeling overwhelmed, others are seeking clarity, and many are simply looking for better balance in a busy world. Wherever you are starting from, we meet you there with care, respect, and a genuine commitment to supporting you in a way that fits your life.

Our Story

Supporting Wellness began over a decade ago in Calgary, Alberta, with a simple belief that mental health care could feel more human, connected, and accessible. What started as a small practice has grown into a multi-location team, but the heart of it has stayed the same.
 
Founded by Registered Psychologist Kate Kolskog, who continues to serve as our Head Clinician, the vision was to create a place where care could go beyond traditional therapy. From the beginning, the goal was to support the whole person through a more flexible and integrated approach to wellness.
 
Today, Supporting Wellness has grown to a team of over 20 clinicians across Calgary, Red Deer, and Cold Lake. While we have expanded, we remain rooted in the same intention to offer care that feels personal, grounded, and real.

Our Approach and Moving Forward Together

At Supporting Wellness, we believe healing looks different for everyone. That is why we offer a range of ways to receive support, from structured talk therapy to more experiential and body-based approaches. Many people find that a combination of these approaches works best for their needs and goals.
 
We understand that mental wellness is shaped by many parts of life, including relationships, stress, family dynamics, and daily routines. Because of this, we take a thoughtful, whole-person approach to care, always recognizing that people are doing their best with what they have in the moment. Above all, we believe in the possibility of change that is steady, meaningful, and happens at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.
 
As we continue to grow, we are also evolving with the world around us. We are modernizing how we deliver care so it feels more accessible, flexible, and responsive to individuals and families today. Even as we change and expand, our core values remain the same. We are still a place where people are met with kindness, where stories are heard without judgment, and where support feels real, human, and personal.
 
At Supporting Wellness, we are honoured to walk alongside the people who trust us with their care.
