Trauma Therapy and Counselling in Maple Ridge, BC
Two provincial correctional centres sit in Maple Ridge, and what happens inside them comes home on the same roads.
Trauma Therapy for people in Maple Ridge 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
Corrections work involves violence, self-harm, overdoses and threats, often repeated and rarely talked about afterwards beyond a debrief. The effect is usually cumulative rather than tied to one event: sleep that does not settle, a shorter fuse at home, a watchfulness that does not switch off in a grocery store. Hospital staff on the emergency and psychiatric units carry a version of the same load.
A practical point is often missed. In BC, a mental disorder arising from traumatic events at work has a claim route through WorkSafeBC, and for correctional officers, nurses and several other occupations there is a legal presumption that it is work-related once a psychiatrist or psychologist has made the diagnosis. Counselling can start before any of that is settled, and from home rather than in a waiting room where colleagues might be sitting.
Sessions are $140 for 50 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.
For trauma work in Maple Ridge, 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 Maple Ridge
Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows sit on the north bank of the Fraser, east of the Pitt River, and most of their working residents leave every day: west over the Pitt River Bridge toward Coquitlam and beyond, or south over the Golden Ears Bridge to Langley and Surrey.
Fraser Health runs public intake through the Maple Ridge Mental Health and Substance Use Centre, which accepts self-referral from adults. General counselling exists locally; a particular approach usually means looking across a bridge.
Public mental-health intake for Maple Ridge 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.
The session stops depending on which side of the river you happen to be on that day.

What trauma therapy involves
Trauma is not only the events people expect to count. It is anything that overwhelmed you at the time and did not finish being processed, which is why it can follow a single incident, a childhood, or a job you were good at.
What it is commonly used for
- A memory that intrudes, or a stretch of time that will not come back at all
- Reactions out of proportion to what is in front of you
- Feeling numb, distant, or watching yourself from outside
- Sleep, nightmares, and a body that will not settle
- What got carried down through a family rather than happening to you
- Vicarious trauma from work: healthcare, first response, care
Pacing first. Nothing here starts with the hardest thing: the early sessions build enough safety and enough control that the harder work is possible, and you decide what gets approached and when. EMDR is one of the tools, not the whole of it.
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 Maple Ridge
I work corrections. Do I have to describe incidents in detail?
No. Trauma work does not depend on retelling every incident. What happened can be named in outline, and the work focuses on what it is doing to you now. Confidentiality and its legal limits are explained before anything else.
Is there a claim route for a psychological injury from work?
Yes. WorkSafeBC accepts claims for mental disorders arising from work. For correctional officers, nurses, health care assistants and some other occupations, a mental disorder diagnosed by a psychiatrist or psychologist after exposure to a traumatic event at work is presumed to be work-related. The resources section has a page on psychological injury claims that sets out the steps.
It was years ago. Is it too late to deal with it now?
No. People often come years after the event, once the effects have outlasted the explanation that it would pass. That is common rather than late.
Who would I see for trauma therapy in Maple Ridge?
For trauma therapy in Maple Ridge, Camille Granda, RCC, CCC, who works in English and Tagalog or Savneet Singh, RCC, who works in English and Punjabi. Each sees people by secure video, and the free consultation is with whichever of them you choose, so the person you meet first is the person you would see.
Is trauma therapy available in Pitt Meadows, Haney, Hammond, Albion, Silver Valley or Whonnock?
Yes. Trauma Therapy by secure video reaches Pitt Meadows, Haney, Hammond, Albion, Silver Valley and Whonnock exactly as it reaches Maple Ridge: there is no office to get to and the same fee applies however far out you are. Fraser Health is the public route for Maple Ridge and the rest of its region; this is the private one, and it needs no referral.
What does trauma therapy cost in Maple Ridge, and will my plan cover it?
In Maple Ridge, as everywhere in BC, trauma therapy is $140 for 50 minutes (BCACC’s 2026 fee guide recommends $140 to $175), after a free 30-minute consultation. 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.
