EMDR Therapy in Prince George, BC
EMDR in northern BC has meant a flight south, an intensive, and a long gap before the next one.
Where northern residents have accessed EMDR at all, the shape has usually been travel-based: a trip to the Lower Mainland, work compressed into a few days, then months before the next opportunity. That is a considerable commitment and a structure the modality does not particularly want.
EMDR benefits from a predictable interval — processing, then time to settle, then more. Delivered remotely, a northern client gets the ordinary weekly or fortnightly rhythm rather than an intensive built around flight availability.
Sessions are $140 for 50 minutes and start with a free 15-minute video call — no charge, no card, and no obligation to book anything afterwards. Fees and extended-health cover are set out in full.
Getting counselling in Prince George
Prince George is the largest city in the north and the referral centre for an area larger than most countries. "The nearest specialist" can mean a flight, not a drive.
Northern Health covers a catchment with the thinnest counselling coverage in the province. For specialised work the honest local answer has often been that it is not available here.
Public mental-health intake for Prince George runs through Northern 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.
Northern BC and Metro Vancouver get the same counsellor. Virtual care is the only arrangement in which that sentence is true.

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.
