Our Commitment
Our mission at Kells is to deliver expert guidance and support, empowering our clients to overcome challenges and reach their full potential.

History
In 1992, Executive Director Janet Ryan-Newell established the Kids Support Group (KSG), which was based in Beaumont. The KSG mandate was to provide specialized counselling services for children and families.
Janet’s passion has always been in helping children and families thrive. She considers herself a ‘social entrepreneur’ and builds companies and programs that maintain their commitment to excellence and promote wellness for communities. You’ll always find Janet working on something that brings value to the world.
In 1995, the KSG was renamed Kells Counselling. In 2001, the R.K. Ryan Building was constructed at 91 Street and Ellerslie Road in Edmonton, and Kells moved to its new home. Kells has been located in south Edmonton since 2001 but serves all of Alberta through virtual telehealth services.
