Palm Counselling has been serving Maple Ridge for more than a decade, known for practical, trauma-informed therapy that helps people make steady day-to-day changes. If you want a counsellor who listens first and offers concrete tools second, this is the place. Their clinicians specialise in anxiety, grief, relationship challenges and life transitions, and they are one of the few local practices offering rapid access to brief solution-focused therapy alongside longer-term counselling.

Services centre on individual and couple counselling, with visible options for teens and parents. You’ll find evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) listed on their website. They also run a weekly skills group for anxiety and social confidence limited to six participants, and a monthly parent workshop that covers emotion coaching and boundary-setting. Sessions are 50 minutes, and the team offers both in-person appointments in a warm, ground-floor office and secure virtual sessions for remote clients.

Palm Counselling’s clinicians are registered with provincial regulatory bodies and hold certifications in trauma work, attachment-informed therapy, and perinatal mental health. They emphasise practical homework and measurable goals, so therapy feels useful from the second or third session. New clients receive a clear intake plan, a written treatment outline, and regular progress check-ins. The office has two counselling rooms with natural light and a small resource library clients can borrow from, creating a welcoming, low-pressure environment.

People in Maple Ridge choose Palm Counselling because the therapists know local pressures like commute-related stress, parenting in a growing suburb, and workplace burnout in nearby industries. They partner with community groups and schools for workshops and accept several extended health plans. To book or ask questions, call 778-835-3419 or visit https://www.palmcounselling.ca/.
