People in Coquitlam come to us after something frightening has happened to them or in front of them, sometimes long ago. You might jump at a slammed door, scan every room you walk into, or lie awake replaying the moment. Some people pull away from family or friends, avoid a street or a sound that brings it back, or find it hard to focus at work. These are common responses to trauma, and you do not have to share what happened to reach out.
You can see a PTSD counsellor in Coquitlam at 3041 Anson Ave in Coquitlam Centre, at our Tri Cities office at 2099 Lougheed Highway, or by video from anywhere in BC. The free 15-minute consultation is where to begin.
What PTSD therapy in Coquitlam looks like
You start with a free consultation by phone or video, sharing as little about the trauma as you like. Our intake team then puts forward counsellors suited to your needs, language, budget and preferred place to meet. Your first session of PTSD therapy in Coquitlam focuses on safety and trust: how daily life feels now and what you hope for. You never have to describe the event before you are ready.
Your counsellor works at your pace and helps you feel steady before any deeper work. Later sessions may include grounding skills, like noticing your feet on the floor when a memory pulls you back, and ways to settle a racing body at night. Over time, some people work through the memory itself so it can feel less raw. You can meet at either Coquitlam office, by video, or switch between them.
