Still Standing Therapy, led by registered counsellor Dawn Taylor, has been supporting Maple Ridge residents with practical, trauma-informed therapy since 2016. Dawn specialises in anxiety, grief and relationship work, and she’s known locally for blending evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and EMDR with down-to-earth, goal-focused planning. You’ll notice right away that sessions are about real change, not just talk.

They offer individual counselling for teens and adults, couples therapy, and bereavement support. Dawn runs 50-minute standard sessions and 90-minute intensive sessions for deeper processing. She also provides workplace mental health consultations for small businesses, and a weekend three-hour workshop on stress management that typically hosts 6 to 10 participants. Sessions are available in-person at her comfortable Maple Ridge office (private street-level suite, wheelchair accessible) and online across British Columbia using secure video.

Dawn’s approach is practical and collaborative. She uses measurable tools like PHQ-9 and GAD-7 to track progress, and combines CBT, mindfulness, and EMDR when appropriate. Expect clear session notes, agreed-upon homework, and regular check-ins every four to six sessions to review outcomes. Dawn is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and holds EMDRIA-informed training, with ongoing supervision and peer consultation. She keeps intake straightforward: a 15-minute phone consultation followed by an initial 60-minute assessment so goals and timelines are clear from the start.

People choose Still Standing Therapy because Dawn balances professionalism with genuine warmth. Neighbours appreciate her Saturday availability and prompt phone replies, and several local referrals come from Maple Ridge family doctors and community agencies. If you want a counsellor who tracks progress, offers practical tools, and knows this community, Dawn is a strong choice.
