EMDR Therapy in Cranbrook, BC
After an EMDR processing session from Cranbrook, you are already home, with no mountain pass to drive while it settles.
EMDR Therapy for people in Cranbrook is delivered by secure video by Registered Clinical Counsellors registered with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, with a free first consultation, no referral, and receipts your extended health plan can process.
Updated October 2, 2026
EMDR processing can leave a person tired or unsettled for the rest of the day, and the usual advice is to leave room after a session rather than go straight to work or a long drive. In the East Kootenay, an in-person specialist appointment can mean exactly that long drive afterwards, over a pass in winter. By video, the room you settle in is your own.
EMDR is also the kind of specific training a regional private sector may hold one or two of, or none. By video the choice widens to clinicians trained in it anywhere in British Columbia, with the same preparation and pacing, and sessions an hour later on Cranbrook’s clock than the calendar shows.
Sessions are $190 for 90 minutes and start with a free 30-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. Fees and extended-health cover are set out in full.

Getting counselling in Cranbrook
Cranbrook is the service centre for the East Kootenay, and people come in from Kimberley, Fernie, Sparwood and Invermere for it. Anything Cranbrook does not have usually means a mountain pass west, or a provincial border east.
Interior Health runs public intake through 310-MHSU and a mental-health and substance-use centre in the city. The private sector is the size of a regional centre’s, and a specific approach or language may not be represented in it.
Public mental-health intake for Cranbrook runs through Interior 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.
The East Kootenay keeps Alberta’s clock. Open times are listed in Pacific time and read an hour later on Cranbrook’s clock, in every season, and the session itself happens from wherever you have a private room.

What EMDR therapy involves
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-supported therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their grip. You don't have to relive everything in detail or explain it perfectly: EMDR works with how memory is stored, not just how it's told. Available online across BC, including a 90-minute intensive format.
What it is commonly used for
- Trauma and PTSD
- Distressing or intrusive memories
- Anxiety and panic
- Grief and loss
- Intergenerational and cultural trauma
Your counsellor is EMDR-trained and works in a paced, trauma-informed way, we build safety and stability first, and never move faster than you're ready for. EMDR translates well to virtual sessions, and many people find the comfort of their own space helps the work.
The full picture: how sessions are structured, what the first one is like, and what it does not do, is on the EMDR therapy page. 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 Cranbrook
Is EMDR by video as thorough as in a room?
The steps are the same: history, preparation, then processing. On video the bilateral stimulation is usually eye movements following a point on screen or tapping you do yourself, and it is practised before any processing starts.
What should I plan for after a processing session?
Some unstructured time if you can arrange it, rather than a shift or a drive. Being at home already makes that easier, and how you felt afterwards is reviewed at the start of the next session.
