Juniper Counselling has been helping Port Moody residents navigate life’s hardest moments for over 8 years, specialising in anxiety, trauma recovery, and relationship repair. What makes them stand out is their small, steady team of clinically trained counsellors who offer both walk-and-talk nature therapy along local trails and quiet, private office sessions in a bright 450-square-foot suite near Newport Village. It feels like getting support from a thoughtful neighbour who also happens to be deeply trained.

Their services are practical and varied. They offer individual counselling for anxiety and PTSD, couples therapy using Emotionally Focused Therapy techniques, and grief support groups capped at six people. For teens they provide dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) skills groups that run for 10 weeks. They also provide workplace wellness consultations for small businesses and can arrange brief telehealth sessions on secure video platforms when in-person isn’t possible. Juniper accepts ICBC referrals and offers a sliding fee scale for clients with financial constraints.

What they do, day to day, shows their expertise. Sessions begin with a clear treatment plan and measurable goals, and counsellors use tools like cognitive behavioural worksheets, grounding exercises, and paced breathing practice during the visit. Each clinician holds a Master of Counselling or equivalent, and several are registered with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. Intake calls are handled personally, not by a call centre, so you get warm, detailed next steps within 48 hours.

People choose Juniper because it’s local, approachable, and effective. They host monthly community workshops on stress management at the Port Moody Community Centre and partner with local schools for youth mental health initiatives.
