Clinical Counselling

Stress & Lifestyle Management

Is counselling right for me?

  • Everybody goes through “ups and downs” in their lives. Talking to someone who is accepting and non-judgmental about your life challenges can be extremely helpful during a time of upheaval.
  • Our Registered Clinical Counsellor is here to provide a safe place and opportunity for you to explore behaviours, relationships, feelings, or thoughts to facilitate positive change in your life.

How do I get started?

  • Contact our clinical counsellor at 604-655-6033 to find out how we can help you make positive changes in your life.

ICBC Claims - All you need to know

If you have been involved in an accident on or after April 1, 2019, ICBC will automatically approve you for the following services with an end date of 12 weeks after the accident:

  • 25 physiotherapy sessions
  • 25 chiropractic sessions
  • 12 massage therapy sessions
  • 12 active rehab sessions
  • 12 clinical counselling sessions
  • 12 acupuncture sessions

Please note, that this automatic approval does not apply if you have sought treatment elsewhere, and are switching to Total Therapy. In this case, Total Therapy will be required to seek approval from ICBC prior to starting treatment with us. Additionally, ICBC will not approve treatment that was not sought in the first 12 weeks post-injury. For example, if you begin massage therapy and physiotherapy within the first 12 weeks, but not chiropractic, ICBC will not fund chiropractic treatment after this date. Therefore, it is advised that you should seek treatment with each discipline that you anticipate needing during your recovery within the first 12 weeks post-injury. Please ask your therapist for recommendations if you are unsure which other services may be beneficial.

  • D.O.B

Dr. Bernard is one of the kind of chiropractic doctors that are hard to find! I was lucky to rely on his expertise twice in the course of the last 10 months, due to fairly serious athletic (grappling, BJJ) injuries - a meniscus tear and the recent shoulder injury. In both cases, my situation was such that I felt I'd be out of the line-up for at least 3-4 months, no training, slow path to recovery. But Duriell not only accurately diagnosed the injury in the first assessment session (later confirmed by an MRI scan), but immediately proceeded to apply the needed therapy, restoring me to almost 90% mobility in the affected area within the first 3-4 sessions. With my first, meniscus injury I was back to training in 6-7 weeks and my knee still going strong. With the second injury, shoulder tendons, two weeks ago, I was restored to almost 90% of my full capacity, after the first 3 sessions (first week) and will start my slow paced return to BJJ training with full recovery expected. Two weeks ago I couldn't use my right arm at all, suffering from horrendous, debilitating shoulder pain, no sleep for three straight days/night, swelling down the entire arm, pinched nerve shooting pain starting in the shoulder all the way down to the wrist. Two weeks and 5 sessions later, doing push-ups and pull-ups, 20 reps at a time - though cautiously, but still, back to normal. It feels like a miracle, but really it's Dr. Bernard full spectrum expertise at work! Not a bit of exaggeration, just facts. Thank you!!!
