Car ACCIDENT THERAPY
For ICBC CLaims
With trauma-informed EMDR Therapists
EMDR Therapy for Car Accident Trauma
access counselling with your ICBc claim
In trauma therapy, a car or motor vehicle accident is referred to as a single traumatic event. Sleepless nights, flashbacks, anxiety when driving or cycling, or the sense of being “on edge” are common responses to processing the trauma of an accident.
Whether it was a major accident or minor incident, these are normal symptoms. EMDR therapy can be an effective solution to processing the trauma related to the accident.
ICBC Enhanced Care covers everyone within the first 12 weeks* of an accident - no matter who was at fault. There's no wait time for approvals and all you need is your ICBC claim number.

12 approved visits (up to $157 per)

Meet Our Therapists
Our ICBC-approved Clinical Counsellors and Social Workers offer evidence-based trauma therapy like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR therapy is a proven approach to help process distressing memories, restoring a sense of calm and control.
Common trauma responses after a car accident
-
Intrusive memories or flashbacks of the crash (including dreams + nightmares)
-
Avoidance of driving, being a passenger, or cycling
-
Heightened anxiety, irritability, or startle response
-
Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
-
Feelings of guilt, shame, or depression
