Specialized Care, Accessible Anywhere

Highly targeted care, without leaving home.

Cortex Counselling is physically based in Nanaimo, British Columbia, but we proudly serve clients across British Columbia and throughout Canada.

Our specialized, neuroplasticity-informed approach to health and healing is fully accessible through our dedicated virtual clinic. Online therapy allows you to receive highly targeted, evidence-based counselling without the stress of commuting, traveling long distances, or leaving the comfort of your home.

For many people, virtual care is not just a matter of convenience. It makes it easier to stay consistent with the work that helps the nervous system recalibrate.

How Virtual Sessions Work

  • Secure & Private: All sessions are held through a fully encrypted, private healthcare video platform.
  • Simple to Join: You'll receive an email before your appointment with one-click access and easy instructions.
  • All You Need: A quiet, private space, a stable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone.

Is Online Therapy Truly Effective?

Yes. Virtual care offers unique clinical advantages.

For the vast majority of people, online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions. For the type of nervous system-focused work we do, virtual therapy often offers unique clinical advantages:

  • The same specialized approach: The same neuroplastic principles, clinical assessment, and therapeutic approaches used in person are available online.
  • Greater comfort: Many clients find it easier to engage in deep therapeutic work from the familiarity and comfort of their own home.
  • Reduced sensory overload: For people living with concussion, chronic fatigue, dizziness, sensory sensitivities, or persistent symptoms, avoiding travel and busy waiting rooms can significantly reduce symptom flare-ups before therapy even begins.
  • Greater consistency: Without travel time and scheduling barriers, it's often easier to stay consistent with therapy, allowing new nervous system patterns to strengthen over time.
  • Consistent results: Research and clinical experience show that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for most people.
