We offer this evidence-based treatment for PTSD at our Coquitlam office. Clients learn to process and reduce trauma reactions over time. Ideal for those avoiding activities, places, or tasks related to a crash or injury.

PGAP helps clients reduce disability linked to pain, low mood, or fear of re-injury. We focus on goal setting, pacing, and reactivation. It is one of the most researched return-to-function programs in Canada.

Our CBT approach targets unhelpful thoughts that interfere with recovery. We focus on beliefs around pain, movement, and self-efficacy. Therapy includes activity scheduling, thought restructuring, and behavior change.

CPT helps individuals with PTSD by teaching them to recognize and change unhelpful thoughts and beliefs related to their trauma, ultimately leading to a more accurate and balanced understanding of the event and its impact. Delivered by OTs trained in trauma-focused interventions.

ACT helps clients take action toward goals, even when distress is present. We work on identifying values, building flexibility, and reducing avoidance. This therapy fits well with OT goals around daily function.

We use this to help clients face real-world tasks that feel overwhelming. It’s practical and goal-driven. Whether it’s driving again, using public transit, or entering a workplace, we build confidence step by step.

We go with the client to the place they’re avoiding. That could be the site of a crash, their jobsite, or a specific route. We use this method to help reduce fear and rebuild trust in their environment.

We teach clients practical ways to manage stress. Techniques include breathing, body scanning, pacing, progressive muscles relaxation and much more. Everything is connected back to real-life use in the home or workplace.

Clients learn how to respond to intense feelings without shutting down or avoiding. We focus on awareness, labeling, and self-management techniques they can use daily at home, work or in the community.
