EMDR Therapy in Mission, BC
EMDR is the session a Mission commuter should not take from a parked car, so it gets planned around a day at home.
EMDR Therapy for people in Mission 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
Much of the advice for Mission assumes a session can happen wherever the day puts you: a room near work, or a car before the drive back. EMDR is the exception. Processing can leave a person tired, raw or unusually quiet for the rest of the day, and the end of each session is kept for settling before it closes. That sits badly with an hour on the Lougheed straight afterwards.
In practice that means choosing the days spent at home and protecting them. The phases stay where they always are, history and preparation before any processing, with eye movements or tapping set up for a screen, and when the session ends you are already in the room where the grounding was practised.
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 Mission
Mission faces two ways at once. It is counted with the Fraser Valley and its nearest larger centre is Abbotsford, across the bridge, yet about four in ten residents with a fixed workplace work outside the Valley altogether, so home, the nearest clinic and the working day sit in three different places.
Fraser Health runs public intake from the Mission Mental Health and Substance Use Centre on Hurd Street, which accepts self-referrals from adults, and Fraser House Society offers substance use counselling in town. Looking for a particular approach beyond those can lead across the river or west, which for a commuter means choosing which end of the day to add it to.
Public mental-health intake for Mission 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 goes where you are that day, at home north of the river or parked near work, instead of being pinned to one of three places.

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 Mission
Can I do EMDR from my car near work?
It is better not to. EMDR suits a private room you can stay in afterwards, so people commuting out of Mission generally keep these sessions for a day at home and use the car, if at all, for ordinary sessions.
I only have one day a week at home. Is that enough for EMDR?
Often, yes. The sessions that ask most of you are the processing ones, and those are the ones to keep for the day at home; earlier preparation work can be arranged with your counsellor around the rest of the week. Spacing is agreed with you and reviewed as you go.
