Where Healing Takes Root

Welcome to Rooted Counselling Services

I’m Lara Palset. I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor and the founder of Rooted Counselling Services. If you’re considering therapy, I’m glad you’ve taken this first step by searching for a therapist. I began my counselling journey several years ago while working with Alberta Health Services, where I discovered there was a great need for more mental health professionals, and that I have a passion for helping people change their lives.

I’ve seen counsellors myself over the years and it’s a big deal to make that decision, but from my own experience, I know it can be life changing. It’s important to find the right person for you to talk to, and that’s why I offer free phone calls or video consultations, so we can make sure that I’m right for the support you need.

I offer in person therapy in Calgary, Alberta - and I also provide therapy online across Alberta.
