Lotus Therapy & Counselling Centre has been helping Burnaby families and professionals find balance since 2014. Known for specialising in anxiety, depression, grief and relationship work, they blend evidence-based therapies with practical life strategies. If you want a counsellor who listens first and prescribes tools second, this is the place I recommend.

They offer individual counselling, couples therapy, family sessions and workplace mental health consultations. Therapies include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-informed approaches and mindfulness-based stress reduction. The centre runs 50-minute standard sessions, extended 75-minute couples sessions, and offers online appointments via secure video for clients across British Columbia. They also host small psychoeducational workshops (8 to 12 participants) on stress management and parenting teens.

The approach at Lotus is practical and person-centred. Initial assessments map specific goals and clear milestones, so progress is measured not just felt. Clinicians use worksheets, in-session skill coaching and at-home exercises, so change continues between appointments. The team includes registered clinical counsellors and a registered social worker, with combined experience of more than 35 years and certifications in trauma-informed care and EMDR. The bright, 900-square-foot office near Brentwood is calm and accessible, with street-level entry, a private waiting area and therapy rooms designed for confidentiality.

Locally owned and neighbourhood-focused, Lotus works with schools, employers and community groups in Burnaby to make mental health approachable. Neighbours choose them for practical plans, flexible scheduling and a warm, non-judgemental atmosphere.
