You Want to Move Forward But Something Keeps Pulling You Back
You may know something is over, but your body hasn’t caught up. Certain places, sounds, or moments still trigger anxiety, panic, or shutdown, without warning or explanation. You might feel stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, reacting to life with fear, anger, or numbness. Even when you try to move on, the memories linger.
Does this sound familiar?
- Flashbacks, vivid memories, or intense reactions
- Ongoing shame, self-blame, anxiety, panic or hyper vigilance
- Sleep disturbances related to past experiences
- Feeling stuck in the past or unable to move forward
- Negative self-beliefs tied to past experiences
- Avoiding people, places, or situations that bring up distress
We Help You Heal
Find Relief From Distressing Memories and Reconnect With the Life You Want
How EDMR Therapy Can Support You
EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that supports people navigating trauma, anxiety, phobias, grief, chronic stress, panic attacks, and much more. If you’re carrying something that feels stuck ~ a painful memory, persistent fear, or emotional weight ~ EMDR therapy can help your brain release what no longer serves you. Our therapists provide gentle, non-invasive support, pacing sessions around your comfort and readiness. Together, we’ll help you feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to yourself.
As you continue your therapy journey, you may notice:
- Relief without needing to relive every detail of your experiences
- Feeling more in control of your emotions, body, and daily life
- Reduction of anxiety, panic, or fear tied to memories or triggers
- Strengthening your ability to cope with life's stressors
- Building a deeper sense of calm, safety, and inner stability
- Fewer intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, or physical reactions

Frequently Asked Questions
Does your team specialize in other treatment areas?
Yes our team does specialize in various treatment areas! Explore our Therapy Services here.
What is the cost of therapy and is it covered by insurance?
We offer in-person and online counselling services for individuals and relationships. See our rates here.
Many benefit programs cover the cost of Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs). Please check with your benefits provider to see if this is available to you.
We offer direct billing options to certain insurance companies. If direct billing is not an available option, we provide a detailed receipt following each session. Follow your insurers instructions for submitting the receipt through your extended health benefits plan (often this can be done online).
We invite you to contact us with any questions to explore these options.
What is the rescheduling and cancellation policy?
We kindly require 48-hours notice for cancellation or rescheduling to ensure fairness to you, your counsellor, and other clients. Our cancellation fee is the full cost of the counselling session.
Where is As You Are Counselling located?
Our clinic is located in Langley, next to the 200 Street highway exit. We are easily accessible from Surrey, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford and other surrounding cities.
We also offer the convenience of online counselling for those who cannot make it in-person.
Learn more on our Contact page.
How many sessions does it take before I start to feel better?
This really depends on the issue at hand and the context in which you are experiencing the problem. At the first session, you and your counsellor will discuss the optimal frequency and likely duration of counselling. With more complex and long standing issues, you will likely need more sessions to untangle things and build up internal stability.
Therapy is a process. That said, most of our clients experience some relief early on in the therapy process, and indicate that they are experiencing positive shifts in their lives after 4-6 sessions.
