Motor Vehicle Accident Trauma & Recovery
Healing after a motor vehicle accident takes time and you don’t have to do it alone.
I provide trauma-focused counselling for people recovering from motor vehicle accidents, helping you process what happened, reduce anxiety, and regain a sense of safety in your body and daily life.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not like yourself since the accident, support is available when you’re ready.
How ICBC Counselling Works
As an approved ICBC Recovery Network provider, I can bill ICBC directly for eligible, covered counselling sessions, helping make it easier for you to access support without having to navigate the payment process yourself.
If you've been affected by a motor vehicle accident, counselling can help with anxiety, sleep disruption, pain-related distress, grief and loss (including death of a loved one), trauma, or difficulty returning to everyday activities.
What does ICBC cover?
ICBC pre-authorizes up to 12 counselling sessions during the first 12 weeks following your accident.
If you would benefit from continued support beyond the initial 12 weeks, additional counselling may also be available through ICBC. I can work with you and your ICBC Claims Contact to explore options for ongoing care.
What Can I Expect
❋ Pain Informed Care
Persistent pain following an accident can affect much more than physical comfort. It can influence your emotional well-being, relationships, independence, and quality of life.
My approach recognizes the complex relationship between pain and trauma. Care is paced with sensitivity to the ongoing impact of injury, disability, and chronic pain.
I draw on approaches including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), TIST, and somatic therapies. These approaches can help you make sense of and process difficult experiences and work toward feeling more grounded and in control.
❋ Trauma & Neuroscience-Informed Care
We decide together what feels most important to focus on in therapy. The work is flexible and responsive, shaped by your goals, capacity, and recovery process.
❋ A Collaborative Approach
You can expect a supportive, confidential space where your experiences are understood within the broader contexts of identity, culture, systems, and lived experience, with care and respect for what you bring.
