Access to EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), a leading trauma therapy.
Trauma and PTSD therapy is counselling that helps people safely process overwhelming experiences, reduce trauma symptoms, and restore balance in daily life.
Common symptoms of PTSD include flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, and emotional numbing. Trauma Informed Therapy helps reduce these symptoms and build emotional resilience for each unique circumstance.
Many extended health plans in British Columbia cover sessions with a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), Canadian Certified Counsellors (CCC), and Registered Social Workers (RSW). It’s best to confirm directly with your provider. Our Vancouver clinic issues detailed receipts to make the reimbursement process simple and stress-free.
