Health
A counselling practice based in the Sapperton area of New Westminster, working in trauma and PTSD, reproductive mental health, eating disorders and emotional regulation. It is listed on this Chilliwack site as an out of city provider, not a local address.
Counselling is one of the few services where the fit between a person and a clinician matters more than the postcode, and also one where people want to know exactly where they would be going. Kelly Adler and Associates is based in New Westminster, in the Sapperton area, and that is the only office it publishes. It appears on this site as an out of city business that serves the wider region rather than one trading from a Chilliwack address, which is worth saying plainly before anyone plans a trip.
The practice describes work in trauma and post traumatic stress, reproductive mental health, eating disorders and body image, parenting concerns, emotional regulation, stress management and life transitions, along with nutritional counselling. People tend to arrive at a counselling practice looking for one of those particular things rather than for counselling in general, so a published list of areas is more use than a job title when deciding whether a first call is worth making. Kelly Adler is a registered clinical counsellor. The site describes a team that includes other registered clinical counsellors, social workers and dietitians, so the person a caller ends up with may not be the person whose name is on the door.
What the listing does not settle is how somebody in Chilliwack would actually be seen. The site does not advertise a Fraser Valley service area and does not say whether sessions can be held remotely, which for counselling is the question that decides everything else. That is a phone call rather than a guess. The published number is 778-653-5253, and booking is handled through the website. Fees, which clinicians are taking new clients, and whether an extended health plan covers any of it are all worth raising in the same conversation. The drive from Chilliwack down the valley is a long one, so a standing weekly appointment in person is a heavier commitment than it would be for a practice in town.
Based outside Chilliwack and serves it as part of a wider area, so this is a call-out service rather than somewhere to visit.
