Trauma & PTSD Counselling in Maple Ridge, BC

Trauma counselling, sometimes called PTSD counselling, is a therapeutic process that addresses intrusive memories, avoidance, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness following a traumatic experience. A Registered Clinical Counsellor applies modalities such as EMDR and Trauma-Focused CBT to help a client process the trauma and reduce symptom severity.

A trauma counselling session typically lasts 50 to 60 minutes. This duration allows time for a check-in, focused trauma-processing work, and a closing period to ground the client before the session ends.

Trauma counselling addresses intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance of trauma reminders, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness. Sessions target both the intrusive symptoms and the avoidance patterns that frequently characterize PTSD.

Trauma counselling costs typically range from $160 to $195 per 50 to 60 minute session, varying by counsellor. Many extended health insurance plans cover sessions delivered by a Registered Clinical Counsellor, and sliding scale rates are often available.

A first trauma counselling session establishes the client's trauma history, current symptoms, and initial goals, at a pace the client controls. The counsellor explains their therapeutic approach and begins assessing the client's readiness for specific trauma-processing techniques.
