Contacting Envision
You can contact us at one of our four offices between 8:30am and 4:30pm, Monday to Friday:
Estevan (306-637-4004)
Weyburn (306-842-8821)
Carlyle (306-453-2405)

Or use the “Ask a Counsellor” button along the right side of the page. A counsellor will try to contact you within 24 hours and/or after the weekend.
Once you decide to contact Envision, the counselling process begins with an initial intake interview. In the first session, the counsellor will ask about the issues and discuss possible options.
The number of sessions clients attend depends on the nature of the problem, the clients’ reception to change, type of therapy and many other variables.
There are no fees for our core counselling services that fall under our mandate as we are a community-based organization funded by the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Social Services, United Way and private donations.
