Our Depression Diagnosis & Care Services

Complimentary Meet & Greet (10 minutes)

Set up a free 10-minute phone or virtual appointment with our staff to find out more about our services and see if we’re the right fit for you. We offer services to people living in Alberta or Ontario.

In-Office Consultation

Visit our provider in our centrally-located office in Calgary for your appointment. It is helpful to meet in a neutral location to discuss your concerns (rather than the alternative in-home option). In-person consultations allow for a physical assessment, which may be necessary at times.

In-Home Consultation

Our provider will visit you at your home for your consultation. This service is available in Calgary and Red Deer (and surrounding areas). In-home consultations may be particularly beneficial for those who struggle to leave the home. In-person consultations allow for a physical assessment, which may be necessary at times.

Fee for mileage may apply, depending on the location.

Virtual Appointments

We offer virtual consultations for people across Alberta and Ontario. This increases access for people who live in an area without easy access to mental health providers. It is also convenient and affordable way to follow-up with your provider to determine if the treatment plan is working well for you.

I'm a UK citizen in Canada for 6 months and was very worried about how I would be able to get a refill of my ADHD medication here, having been diagnosed and treated in the UK. Naturally, I left it until 5 days before I was due to run out of the 30-day supply I'd been allowed to bring to Canada from the UK. I was recommended DHS by a psychiatry clinic I had reached out to and I was extremely impressed by the service I received. Within 2 days of calling DHS, they had scheduled a telephone appointment with NP, Shyla who was able to prescribe my medication after reviewing my UK diagnosis documents, the day after my call with Shyla, I was able to pick up my prescription from a local pharmacy. Thank you to the DHS team, you have alleviated an enormous worry about getting access to my medication! If you're a UK citizen, staying in Canada, and need to get a refill on a UK-prescribed medication for ADHD, I can't recommend DHS highly enough!

At home blood work without the waiting and stress! We have been using Direct Health Solutions for years because my child with special needs is not successful in any other setting. Our nurse Danielle shows up on time, she is proficient in the procedure and the whole visit takes less than 10 minutes. Danielle can also do flu shots and other vaccines in one appointment. We are so fortunate to have this option. Thank you!
