WHO WE ARE
Why work with Oceanside Psychology Group
When you need to feel a difference in your life – not just say the words or talk about it, but truly experience it – we use an approach that works to transform how you feel and live.
At Oceanside, we believe that people already have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges, they just need someone to guide them in working through emotions and experiences that are getting in the way of living the life they want.
We specialize in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), an approach that is grounded in more than 30 years of psychotherapy and neuroscience research: It gets to the core of what hurts the most and transforms how you feel about yourself and others. It integrates what we know about the brain and how memories and emotions are created, stored, and revised to create long-term change.
Opening the door to new experiences is the first step to living life more fully. We help you create those new experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a therapist?
No. You can book directly for individual therapy, couples therapy, teen counselling, or family therapy. No referral is required.
Are you currently accepting new clients? Is there a waitlist?
Yes. Oceanside Psychology Group is currently accepting new clients, both in person at our Burnaby office and online anywhere in British Columbia. Many of our therapists have immediate availability, while some may have a short wait. We offer daytime, evening, and weekend appointments to fit your schedule.
If the therapist you’d like to see doesn’t have an opening right away, we can add you to their cancellation list. Clients are often able to start sooner when a spot opens up.
Are therapy sessions covered by MSP in British Columbia?
No. MSP does not cover private therapy sessions with a Registered Psychologist or Registered Clinical Counsellor. Most clients use extended health benefits or a Health Spending Account through their workplace.
Do you direct bill insurance companies?
No. We ask clients to pay at the time of the session, and we issue a receipt that you can submit for reimbursement. This applies whether you are attending in person at our Burnaby office or online across BC.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Visa Debit, and Mastercard Debit.
We do not accept personal cheques, cash, e-transfers, or Interac debit.
