We are Accepting New Clients and Offering Sessions in the Current Week!

Who we are and what we offer

Blackbird Counselling and Wellness offers a different experience of counselling. We are trained to treat the whole person, your experiences, lifestyle, and wellness. We work with people from all walks of life.

We support children, youth, adults, families, and seniors. We are a multicultural clinic with bipoc, queer, and Indigenous counsellors. We ally with 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, neurodivergent folk, and practice gender affirming care.

We specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma, complex family issues, grief, mental health, medical trauma and people in non-conformist relationships.

We practice from an evidence-based and integrative approach. We customize counselling services to fit your needs. We always strive to be non-judgmental and to create a safe trauma-informed space. We are allies in supporting diversity and welcome people who identify as counter-culturalists, nonconformists, creatives, musicians, and those who are exploring their meaning in the world.

We have counsellors available for in-person sessions in: Cloverdale, Surrey, Port Coquitlam, Equine Assisted Therapy in Langley, and Walk-And-Talk Sessions in Port Moody. We also offer online virtual sessions across BC.

Blackbird Counselling and Wellness is proudly Métis and Woman owned and operated. We work to create and support community through respect, reciprocity, healing, and space for personal expression.

Initial consultations are always free!

It is important to note that each insurance plan may offer different levels of coverage for counselling sessions. The coverage may also vary based on the education credentials of the practitioner. If you plan to use insurance to cover the cost of your sessions, please contact your insurance provider before your first session to confirm what your plan covers. Education credentials you might see on our counsellors' profiles include Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), Registered Social Worker with a Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW, RSW), Registered Social Worker with a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work (BSW, RSW), or Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). Some of our student counsellors are Registered Social Workers with a BSW, and these lower cost sessions may still be covered under certain plans.

Manulife and Canada Life can generally be billed directly by us at the time of appointment, so as to avoid you needing to submit receipts for reimbursement.
