Finding a Counsellor - BCACC
Counsellors will typically have a master’s degree (MA, MEd, MC).
Counsellors will encourage you to talk about what's bothering you in order to uncover any root causes and identify your specific ways of thinking. The counsellor may then look to create a plan of action to either help you reconcile your issues, or help you to find ways of coping. There are a range of different approaches or therapies that can be used. The type of therapy used will depend on your counsellor's preferences, the issues you are facing and the way you think.

If you think a counsellor could help you, the BCACC website can help you find a registered counsellor that best suits your needs. Click on the icon or here for more information
                           Please note that the counsellor services listed on this website are not covered by MSP
                             Those with extended health benefits may have part of the cost covered by their plan
                                                               and a doctor's note/referral is not usually required
                                                          Please check your individual plan for more information

Find a Psychologist - BC Psychological Association (BCPA)
Psychologists will typically have a doctoral degree (PhD, PsyD, or EdD).
Psychologists have professional training and clinical skills to diagnose and help people learn to cope more effectively with life issues and mental health problems including people who feel depressed, angry, or anxious for a long time, those who want help for a chronic condition that is interfering with their lives or those with short-term problems they want help navigating, such as feeling overwhelmed by a new job or grieving the death of a family member. Some common types of therapy used by psychologists include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal, humanistic, psychodynamic, or combinations of a few therapy styles.
If you think a psychologist could help you, the BCPA website can help you find a registered psychologist that best suits your needs. Click on the icon or here for more information
