Faith-based counselling for Muslim communities across Canada
Canadian Muslim Counselling is a non-profit clinic bridging psychology and Islamic principles, so Muslims can heal without leaving their faith at the door.
Our vision
Canadian Muslim Counselling is a recognised leader of life-enhancing Islamic counselling services and psycho-spiritual support for Muslim communities across Canada.
Our mission
To provide affordable online Muslim counselling services that significantly improve the spiritual, psychological, social, emotional, and economic well-being of diverse Muslim and racialized communities across Canada.
We empower our clients to create meaningful change by understanding their health concerns comprehensively, through education and collaborative care. Our faith-based treatments are spiritually, culturally, and linguistically sensitive, producing optimal outcomes for our clients.
What makes us different
- Confidential. Our staff are Registered Psychotherapists and/or supervised by RPs, operating under CRPO and OCSWSSW confidentiality standards.
- Safe. A client-centric, non-judgemental space that fosters growth, healing, renewal, and empowerment rooted in Islamic values.
- Affordable. Fees 30% below the industry average, plus sliding-scale options and a Zakat-funded free counselling program.
- Diverse. 32 Muslim clinicians from many backgrounds, speaking 11 languages.
What we hold ourselves to
Care for clients and employees
The wellbeing of the people we serve, and the people who serve them, comes first in every decision.
Collaboration and partnerships
We work alongside mosques, student associations, and community agencies to meet people where they are.
Accessibility
Reduced fees, sliding scale, free counselling, and services in many languages, cost and culture should never be barriers.
Responsiveness
We listen to our community's needs and adapt our services, programs, and outreach to meet them.
Accountability and effectiveness
We hold ourselves to professional standards, CRPO and OCSWSSW, and measure ourselves by client outcomes.
A Zakat-eligible organization
