Vecova provides inclusive mental health services in Calgary for adults and youth with disabilities, their families, and support networks. Our services are delivered by registered psychologists, registered provisional psychologists, mental health counsellors, and an art therapist, offering evidence-based and trauma-informed care.

Through our Mental Health Clinic and group programs, we provide individual counselling, group counselling, behavioural planning, caregiver support, and arts-based therapy.

We support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, emotional regulation challenges, relationship and family concerns, stress, and other mental health needs.
