Enlighten Counselling & Psychotherapy has been helping Maple Ridge residents navigate life’s tougher seasons since 2016, specialising in anxiety, depression, grief and relationship repair. They’re the kind of practice you tell a friend about when you want real results, not buzzwords. What stands out is their small-team model, which keeps clients with the same counsellor from intake to follow-up, and a blend of clinical training and lived experience that makes sessions practical and relatable.

Services cover individual counselling, couples therapy, grief support groups and online video sessions for clients across BC. They use evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and trauma-informed care, and offer focused programs like a six-week anxiety reduction series and a three-session relationship reset package. Sessions are 50 minutes, sliding-fee options are available, and they accept some extended health plans for registered clinical counsellor services.

What you’ll notice in your first visit is how they work, not what they say. Intake is thorough but warm, with a mailed welcome package and a collaborative treatment plan created within the first two sessions. Counsellors hold master’s level training, many are registered with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, and the lead therapist maintains regular clinical supervision and continuing education in trauma-focused CBT. The office suite is a bright, accessible ground-floor space near Haney Place Mall, with private rooms designed for comfort and confidentiality, plus secure online booking for daytime and evening appointments.

People choose Enlighten because therapists are practical, consistently available and rooted in Maple Ridge. They run community workshops at the public library and partner with local health clinics for referrals, so clients feel supported beyond the therapy room.
