What we help with
About
People in Coquitlam often come to us when worry starts to run the day. It might be a knot in your stomach on the drive to work, dread before a family gathering, or rereading an email many times before you send it. Some feel it most in the body, with tight shoulders or a heart that races for no clear reason. Feeling anxious now and then is part of life. Reaching out may help when it keeps making your days smaller.
You can meet an anxiety counsellor in Coquitlam at our Coquitlam Centre office on Anson Avenue, at our Lincoln Avenue office near Ponderosa, or at our office on Lougheed Highway. You can also meet by video from anywhere in BC. The free 15-minute consultation is a calm place to start.
It begins with the free consultation, a short phone or video call where you can ask anything and decide later. Our intake team then suggests counsellors who fit your needs, language, budget and whether you want to meet in person or online. In your first session of anxiety therapy in Coquitlam, you and your counsellor talk about when the worry shows up, what it does to your sleep, work or relationships, and what you would like to feel instead. You choose how much to say and how fast to go.
Later sessions may include ways to slow your breathing when panic builds, catching anxious thoughts and testing how true they are, and planning small steps toward places or tasks you have been putting off. Between sessions, you might try one of these in daily life and talk about how it went. You can keep meeting at a Coquitlam office or use video when that is easier.
While occasional worry is an expected part of life, Anxiety Counselling can help when anxiety results from your system being stuck on high alert and hypervigilance from the perception of threat.

FAQs
Can't find your answer? Ask us a question.
Yes, you can meet an anxiety counsellor at one of our Coquitlam offices: Coquitlam Centre on Anson Avenue, Lincoln Avenue near Ponderosa, or our office on Lougheed Highway. Our intake team can suggest a counsellor at the office that is easiest for you to reach from home, work or school. If you are unsure which one fits, you can ask during the free 15-minute consultation.
Yes, you can meet your counsellor by video from home in Coquitlam or from anywhere else in BC. Some people find online sessions easier on days when anxiety makes leaving the house feel like a lot. You can also start online and move to an office visit later, or mix the two, whatever feels right for you.
No, you do not need a diagnosis or a doctor's referral to start counselling for anxiety. You can come simply because worry, nervousness or panic keeps getting in the way of your life. Our counsellors do not prescribe, so questions about medication are best taken to your doctor or nurse practitioner.
It may be. Many extended health plans cover Registered Clinical Counsellors and Canadian Certified Counsellors (RCC/CCC), so it is worth checking your own plan. Our team includes RCCs, and our intake team can match you with a counsellor who fits your budget. We also offer sliding scale rates for eligible people, and our fees and funding page explains the options.
If you need help right away, reach out to a crisis line instead of waiting for a session. If you are in crisis, call or text 9-8-8, or call 911 if you are in danger. Counselling is not an emergency service. Once you feel steadier, a counsellor can help you understand what sets off the panic and practise ways to ride it out.
