Motor Vehicle Trauma (ICBC) (MVA)
If you have been in a motor vehicle accident (MVA), then you would most likely have a file opened with ICBC, and you have a ICBC claim number. You would also very likely have a lawyer who is representing you. You may also have heard about ICBC funded counselling.
ICBC has been supporting individuals who have been through an MVA, with the goal of helping ICBC claimants heal and recover from their injuries. ICBC does this by providing funding for a host of services an individual might need after a MVA.
I'm assisting individuals with their trauma and counselling needs with motor vehicle accidents. You have the right to health and healing after the trauma of a car accident. I will work with you and your needs in this.
I continually work with your claim writer and insurance, so you don't have to deal with the stress of asking for more assistance.
Individual Counselling
Individual counseling is a resource for people who struggle with mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc. Individuals can learn to cope with stress, interpersonal issues, grief, anger issues, and low self-esteem throughout the process of counseling. The counselor merely opens the door to allow the individual to sit with the human experience.
What are the Benefits of Individual Counseling?
Individual counseling is helpful for a variety of reasons, such as increasing an individual’s self-awareness, encouraging self-exploration, identifying boundaries, enhancing communication skills and improving the use of healthy coping skills. The benefits will lead to a shift in behavior for the individual, which often decrease symptoms of mental health issues.

Family Counselling
People often undervalue the importance of communications in relationships. This is particularly true when the relationship involves several members, such as that of a family. Misunderstandings occur easily among larger groups. In addition, people may not share their feelings openly or one member could be heavily influenced by communication difficulties among the larger group. Family therapy provides tools and insights that help members of a family to speak and be understood more efficiently.
However, not all families are without troubles, stress or conflict. The key to having and keeping a successful family unit moving forward is to be able to understand and identify the needs of the individual members and balance those with the well-being of the family unit. Family counseling is a unique form of therapy that can help with addressing all of those needs. A counselor can be a great resource for families of any size.
There is a chance to regain solidarity with your family and create a stronger connection. Built out of trust and love. We have to sometimes admit that we need help from someone outside the family. Seeking family counseling is not a "weakness", it's a strength.
I'm experienced in assisting families with their relationships and how to work together. Balancing their common strengths and shortcomings. Bringing understanding and clear communication between the different members inside the family unit.
Child & Youth Counselling
Being open to the idea of child counseling is a great first step. Knowing how to determine whether your child needs counseling is next. Monitor your child for the following warning signs:
*Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, anger, worry, anxiety or fear
*Anger, coupled with a tendency to overreact to everyday situations
*Obsession with an illness or physical appearance; obsessive dieting
*Sudden drop in grades or performance in school, or loss of interest in activities or hobbies
*Isolating from friends and family
*Changes in sleeping or eating patterns; sleeping or eating too much or too little
*Inability to concentrate, think clearly, or sit still
*Violent acts towards self, others or animals
*Mention of suicide or suicidal thoughts
Please know that if your child does exhibit any of these symptoms, he or she is not damaged for life. The earlier a child’s behavioral issues are addressed, the better the chances that he or she will develop into a well-adjusted, healthy adolescent or adult. The thought that your child will “grow out of” their mental health issues is naive and, oftentimes, dangerous. It is better to proactively engage your child in counseling than assume he or she will change without intervention.
Your child’s issues are neither due to their own personal weakness, nor to your bad parenting. However, as a parent, offering support and care as they deal with their issues is absolutely crucial.
