Cornerstone Counselling was born in the basement of Bonnie Doon Baptist Church of Edmonton in 1977. It was founded by Reverend Dr. Ernest Runions and Dr. Doug Spinney who had a vision for a Christian counselling agency that could help people during life's most difficult moments. They believed that by providing affordable and professional mental health care, people would heal and have better lifelong outcomes.
At Cornerstone, our counsellors help clients learn to accept and understand their feelings. This awareness can be the first step toward becoming renewed, healed, and transformed. It can be difficult for two independent people to learn to live together in a healthy, interdependent relationship. Cornerstone offers group and individual premarital counselling to help couples get off to a good start.
There are few things more difficult for a parent than to watch their child struggle mentally or emotionally. Just like adults, children experience grief, loss, depression, and anxiety. Children can also be impacted by bullying, trauma, and academic struggles which can result in behavior changes and self-esteem issues.
Indigenous clients may have access to coverage for Mental Health Counselling Services through the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) Program or the Indian Residential Schools Resolution Health Support Program (IRS RHSP). The First Nations Inuit Health Board provides counselling services to First Nations People who qualify for the program.
Cognitive/Learning and Emotional/Behavioral Assessments can be valuable for students of all ages. When ability, learning style, and areas of giftedness or difficulty are identified, learning environments can be modified to maximize the student's opportunity for success. The outcomes are then transcribed into a report that will include recommendations for programming and remediation.

I am truly thankful for my experience with cornerstone counselling with the therapist and receptionist (helpful, professional and friendly). I was in hopeless and very heavy place - the journey goes on at different levels and I am really thankful for the sessions, how I was able to gain tools and work through it. Thank you so much for being there.

Amanda was wonderful to work with! She helped ease our worries from the first time we met with her, on the first day of this semester, when we had no clue about the project we were doing for Cornerstone Counselling. She treated us as colleagues and I did not recognize any uneven power dynamics. Unfortunately, due to Covid, we were unable to schedule a tour of Cornerstone Counselling or meet Amanda in person, as we had hoped to, however I am thankful for the informal chit-chat we did have when meeting with her virtually. She was very empathetic to our situation as students during a global pandemic

I communicated with Amanda as she was our community partner through a group project for school. Communicating with Amanda was very easy as she was very open to our ideas. Upon meeting we were able to present what we had at that time and she was very encouraging. She was also very accommodating as she was able to meet whenever we proposed. Overall, it was a great experience and I hope I am able to work with Amanda again in the future.

Although I am pleased that this company offers a sliding scale rate for lower income families, I don't think the full extent of their policy is fair. In the middle of a pandemic, when the economy is crashing and people are struggling just to buy groceries, a company should not be considering government assistance payments as a source of reliable income for calculating rates. Those government payments are temporary, and for some people, it's all they have. Of course I do understand that they are a business and need to turn a profit to continue operating. However, I don't know a single person who

I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to do my practicum during my Masters and some extra hours post graduation with Cornerstone. I created such amazing relationships with my coworkers and mentors, which I'll cherish for years to come. I'm so thankful for the growth I developed here, thanks to this organization! Definitely a place worth going to if you want to work OR receive counselling.

I thoroughly enjoyed my summer/student job at Cornerstone Counselling. After working at Cornerstone, I truly grew to admire the impact counseling has on others' lives. I learned a lot from the variety of projects that were provided to me and believe they will be beneficial for my future career aspirations. The staff were very friendly, professional and done a great job at communicating remotely. I would highly recommend Cornerstone to potential clients seeking therapy and candidates for employment.

I have enjoyed every interaction I have had with the cornerstone team. This organization goes above and beyond to make mental health accessible while maintaining a expert team of counsellors. The fundraising events are fun, informative, and very interesting. Cornerstone creates an inclusive space for all to discuss and learn about mental health.
