Welcome to Jewish Family Services Edmonton

We have been proudly serving the local Edmonton community for over half a century, walking side by side with individuals and communities as they go through challenging times. Our foundation is Jewish but our services are inclusive and accessible to people of all backgrounds; we welcome everyone to our organization.  

Our services are derived from the Jewish phrase TIKKUN OLAM, or heal the world. We are committed to the healing of our own Edmonton communities and offer counselling services to individuals and groups looking for a compassionate space, as well as tailored support programs to newcomers and seniors.

 If you are looking for support navigating a challenge in your life, learning English, or need home support for older adults, please be in touch.

Client Testimonials

“Found ways to deal with family -it’s one of my goals. In case I don’t say it enough.. THANK YOU”
“My therapist is very understanding and enthusiastic towards my situation which is extremely complex. He listens deeply and tries hard to empathize with my situation. I believe once my therapist gathers all my problems he will be able to steer me or guide me in the right direction. It helps having a background knowledge about the body through a course I took and being able to understand the mind and emotions in a similar way that the body heals.”
