Young Adult Counselling in Calgary

Support for navigating life’s big (and small) transitions.

Your twenties (and the years leading up to them) can be a lot. Whether you’re in post-secondary, just entering the workforce, or feeling a little stuck in between, you’re probably juggling a dozen things at once — from relationships and family dynamics to mental health, career choices, and figuring out what you really want.

At GenLift Counselling, we offer practical, personalized therapy for young adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and the pressures that come with stepping into adulthood. No judgment, no lectures — just real support to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your future. And if you’re living with ADHD, it’s important to remember that your brain is still developing well into your twenties — with the right support, you can learn to work with your mind, not against it, and build a life that truly works for you.

  • Recent grads and early-career professionals feeling overwhelmed by new responsibilities or uncertain about their path

  • Young adults experiencing mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, or burnout

  • Anyone seeking a space to sort through big questions, tough emotions, or confusing changes
