What we help with
The things people come in with.
If what you're carrying isn't listed, that's not a reason not to call. Most first sessions start with “I'm not sure this is a real problem.”
-
01
Anxiety and panic
The looping thoughts, the physical symptoms, and the avoidance that quietly shrinks a life.
-
02
Burnout
For people who kept going through it and are now finding that rest doesn't fix anything.
-
03
Grief and loss
Bereavement, pregnancy loss, and the anniversaries nobody else in the room remembers.
-
04
Relationships
Communication that has turned into logistics, separation, and the question of whether to try.
-
05
Identity and transition
Immigration, career change, late diagnosis, and the years spent being someone else's version of you.
-
06
Trauma
Slow, consent-led work with counsellors trained in EMDR and somatic approaches.
Who we are
Six counsellors, one quiet building.
Every counsellor is registered with the BCACC or CCPA, carries their own liability insurance, and takes weekly supervision.

Trauma, EMDR and 2SLGBTQ+ clients. Offers a reduced rate for students.
“I spent four sessions saying I was fine before I said anything true. Nobody hurried me, and that turned out to be the treatment.”

Fees and coverage
What it costs, before you ask.
We publish the fee and the sliding scale. If cost is the thing stopping you, say so on the phone.
01
A short call
Ten minutes with our intake coordinator to match you with the right counsellor. No clinical details needed.
02
The first session
Fifty minutes. You set the pace. If it doesn't feel workable, the next counsellor is at no charge.
03
The work
Weekly or fortnightly, reviewed every eight sessions so it doesn't drift.
Questions
Questions people hesitate to ask.
How much is a session?+
A 50-minute session with a registered counsellor is $150. We hold a number of $110 sliding-scale slots for students, seniors and people on disability. The fee is the same online or in person.
Does insurance cover it?+
Most extended health plans do. You get a receipt with the counsellor's registration number; we don't direct-bill except with Blue Cross. Check your plan's annual maximum before the first session.
How many sessions will I need?+
Most people come for eight to twenty sessions. Some come for three and get what they needed. We review it together rather than book you indefinitely.
Is it confidential?+
Yes, with the usual limits: immediate risk to yourself or someone else, a child at risk, or a court order. Your counsellor will explain those limits in the first session.
What if I'm in crisis?+
Call 9-8-8 or go to your nearest emergency department. We're not an crisis service and don't keep a 24-hour line.
