What we help with
About
We hear from people in Burnaby after a single event that shook them, such as a car crash, an assault, a fire or a scary moment at work. Afterward, you might jump at loud sounds, replay what happened at night, or avoid the street where it took place. These reactions are common after something overwhelming. Reaching out may help when they linger and start to shape your sleep, your work or how safe you feel at home.
Trauma therapy in Burnaby happens at Burnaby Square, the Solo District office on Willingdon Avenue and the Boss Business Centre on Production Way. If leaving home feels hard, you can also meet by video from anywhere in BC. The free 15-minute consultation is a calm place to start.
A free phone or video consultation comes first. You do not need to describe what happened on that call, only what you hope will change. Next, our intake team suggests counsellors who suit your needs, language and budget, at a Burnaby office or online. Your first session of trauma counselling in Burnaby is about feeling steady, not retelling the event. Your counsellor may ask how you are sleeping, what sets off strong reactions and what helps you feel safe, and you choose what to share.
Later sessions may include grounding tools, such as feeling your feet on the floor or slowing your breath, to calm a racing body. When you feel ready, your counsellor can help you make sense of what happened, so the memory may feel less sharp. You and your counsellor go only as fast as feels manageable. Sessions can be at our Burnaby offices or by video, whichever feels safer to you.
Acute trauma refers to the difficulties experienced following a singular, overwhelming incident. Most people experience some traumatic event in their lifetime.

Yes, you can meet a trauma counsellor in person at our Burnaby offices: Burnaby Square at 7885 6th Street, the Solo District office at 2025 Willingdon Avenue, or the Boss Business Centre at 3292 Production Way. If you would rather stay home, you can also meet by video from anywhere in BC. You can talk about which option feels safer for you during the free consultation.
No, you do not have to describe the event before you are ready, and you may never need to share every detail. Your counsellor works at your pace and first helps you feel steady, with ways to cope with poor sleep, panic or sudden reminders. You decide what to share and when, and you can pause at any time.
Counselling may help if your reactions to the event are not easing, or if they keep getting in the way of sleep, work, driving or time with others. You do not need a diagnosis or a referral to see a counsellor at our Burnaby offices or online. Some people reach out simply because they feel on edge or not like themselves since it happened.
Often, yes: many extended health plans cover Registered Clinical Counsellors and Canadian Certified Counsellors (RCC/CCC), so check your own plan for what it includes. Our team includes RCCs, and we offer sliding scale rates for eligible people. Our fees and funding page explains the options, and you can ask about them in the free 15-minute consultation.
If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 9-8-8, call 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433), or call 911 if you are in danger. Counselling is not an emergency service, so please do not wait for a session when you need help now. Once you are safe, you can book the free consultation to find a trauma counsellor in Burnaby or online.
