Skylark has been helping Abbotsford families and individuals find steadier ground for over a decade, specialising in anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship counselling. What stands out is their small, neighbourhood clinic feel combined with professionally trained therapists, so you get focused, personalised care rather than a one-size-fits-all program. They’re known locally for practical grief support groups and evidence-based therapy options that actually fit busy lives.

Services include individual counselling, couples therapy, family sessions, and group workshops. For example, their grief group runs in six-week cycles with guided processing, journalling prompts, and at-home practices. They use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and they offer trauma-informed approaches including EMDR with certified practitioners. Sessions are available in person in a comfortable office off South Fraser Way, and by video if that’s more convenient.

The Skylark team blends clinical training and real life. Counselors hold Masters-level degrees and certifications in areas like trauma work and couple therapy, and many have 5 to 15 years of direct practice. That matters because you’ll meet someone who listens first, then suggests concrete next steps: skills you can use between sessions, measurable goals, and regular check-ins on progress. Intake is straightforward, with a 30-minute phone consultation to match you with the right therapist and set a clear plan and fee schedule.

Skylark is rooted in Abbotsford, working with local schools, community groups and health providers to make care accessible. People choose them because they want a therapist who knows the local context, offers flexible scheduling, and follows through with real strategies, not just talk.
