Virtuous Circle Counselling

Menu

From a Walk-in Closet to a National Brand.

Founded by two sisters, Virtuous Circle has grown from pandemic beginnings into one of Canada’s fastest-growing mental health companies — in just four years.

Who we are

A leading mental health company headquartered in Calgary, Virtuous Circle provides in-person and virtual care across Canada. We believe support should be timely, flexible and deeply human — because life does not arrive in neat appointment windows.

Our clinicians bring evidence-based practice and genuine compassion together, helping clients move forward with clarity and confidence.

The founders story

In 2020. Virtuous Circle Counselling was co-founded by Tiffany and Melissa Petite. Combining Tiffany’s experience as a front line social worker in mental health and Melissa’s business expertise, Virtuous Circle Counselling was born.

Due to the complexities of starting a counselling company at a time with such uncertainty and change, Tiffany began offering online sessions out of her walk-in closet. In just four years, they scaled their bootstrapped and transformed Virtuous Circle Counselling into a brand that showcases the values they are truly passionate about.

“People needed help and couldn’t wait — that still drives us.”
