Trauma Therapy and Counselling in Burnaby, BC
Trauma Therapy for people in Burnaby is with Camille Granda or Savneet Singh, both Registered Clinical Counsellors, by secure video, with a free 15-minute consultation, no referral, and receipts your extended health plan can process.
It frequently surfaces only once life is finally stable enough to let it.
Updated
A pattern seen often in Burnaby: somebody arrives in their thirties or forties, settled, employed, housed, and describes symptoms that started recently for no reason they can identify. What has usually happened is not that something new occurred. It is that the conditions which made suppression necessary have finally eased, and the nervous system has taken the first opportunity in years to raise the subject.
That is disorienting, and it is frequently misread by the person experiencing it as a sign of getting worse rather than of getting safer. It is neither a relapse nor a failure of the life that was built. It is the delayed part of an old event, arriving late because it could not arrive earlier.
Sessions are $140 for 50 minutes (BCACC’s 2026 fee guide recommends $140 to $175) and start with a free 15-minute video call, no charge, no card, and no obligation to book anything afterwards. Many BC extended health plans reimburse a Registered Clinical Counsellor; whether yours does is plan-dependent, so check it for the RCC designation before the first paid session. Fees and extended-health cover are set out in full.
For trauma work in Burnaby, a memory that needs a longer run than a weekly session can move to the EMDR Intensive later, once stability is in place: $190 for 90 minutes with Camille Granda. How the intensive differs from weekly EMDR.

Getting counselling in Burnaby
Burnaby sits between two health authorities in practice if not on paper, residents routinely look for care in Vancouver and end up on a different intake route than they expected.
Public mental-health intake for Burnaby runs through Fraser Health, not Vancouver Coastal, which surprises people who work downtown and assume the city they commute to is the one that covers them. Private practices here are fewer than the population would suggest, and many people simply travel west.
Public mental-health intake for Burnaby runs through Fraser Health. That route matters if you are seeking publicly funded care. It has no bearing on seeing a Registered Clinical Counsellor privately, which needs no referral and no diagnosis. See how RCCs, psychologists and social workers differ.
Not travelling west. A virtual session removes the assumption that serious counselling has to happen in Vancouver and be fitted around a commute in both directions.

What trauma therapy involves
The full picture: how sessions are structured, what the first one is like, and what it does not do, is on the page for online trauma therapy across BC. If you are still working out what you need, the short questionnaire is a quicker route than reading all of them, and what to expect in a first session covers the part most people are actually nervous about.
Questions from Burnaby
Why now, when it happened years ago?
Because suppression takes resources, and it is usually released when the demand on those resources drops. Late onset after a period of stability is a common presentation rather than a strange one.
Does it matter that I cannot remember all of it?
No. Gaps are a feature of how traumatic memory is stored rather than an obstacle to the work, and nothing here requires you to reconstruct a complete account.
Is trauma therapy available in Metrotown, Brentwood or Lougheed?
Yes. Trauma Therapy by secure video reaches Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed exactly as it reaches Burnaby: there is no office to get to and the same fee applies however far out you are. Fraser Health is the public route for Burnaby and the rest of its region; this is the private one, and it needs no referral.
