Alongside You has quietly become Ladner’s trusted mental health clinic over the past decade, known for practical, evidence-based care and a warm, down-to-earth team. What stands out is their focus on creating real-life change for adults, teens and couples, not just talk therapy. They have a bright, accessible clinic on 56th Street with three private counselling rooms and a small group room used for skills workshops and EMDR sessions.

They offer a clear range of services you can actually use. Individual counselling includes cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), with therapists who hold CCPA or CRPO-aligned credentials. Trauma treatment includes EMDR and sensorimotor approaches, and they run a weekly anxiety skills group limited to six participants. Couples therapy follows Gottman-informed techniques, and they provide ADHD assessment and follow-up care in collaboration with local physicians. Sessions are available in-person and by secure video, and many therapists accept ICBC and extended health benefits.

Alongside You’s approach is practical and collaborative. Intake appointments include a 60-minute assessment with a written care plan and measurable goals, so progress is tracked. Therapists use worksheets, take-home exercises and app-supported between-session check-ins when helpful. The team mixes experienced clinicians with early-career therapists who receive weekly clinical supervision, keeping care fresh and evidence-based without losing compassion. Booking is straightforward, with a reception line that will help match you to the therapist best suited to your needs.

People in Ladner choose Alongside You because it feels local and personal. They host free quarterly community talks at the Ladner Community Centre and partner with schools for youth outreach.
