Virtuous Circle Counselling

Menu

From a Walk-in Closet to a National Brand.

What began in a walk-in closet during the pandemic has grown into one of Canada’s fastest-growing mental health companies, supporting clients through a growing team of clinicians across Canada.

Who we are

A leading mental health company headquartered in Calgary, Virtuous Circle Counselling 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

Virtuous Circle Counselling began in 2020 with a simple idea: mental health care could be delivered differently.

What started with Tiffany working from a walk-in closet has grown into one of Canada’s fastest-growing mental health companies. But VCC was never created simply to build a larger counselling practice. It was created to put people first, support exceptional clinicians, and make finding the right care feel more personal and accessible.

As co-founders, Tiffany and Melissa brought different strengths to that vision. Tiffany’s clinical background shaped VCC’s approach to care, while Melissa’s focus on growth and business helped turn an early idea into a growing organization.

“What started with one conversation has grown into thousands — but the purpose behind each one remains the same.”
