I'm Dave Dyck, a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) based in Nanaimo. As a registered ICBC provider, I offer virtual ICBC counselling to Courtenay residents with direct billing — meaning in most cases there's no upfront cost to you.
What You're Entitled to After an Accident
- 12 pre-approved sessions within the first 12 weeks
- No doctor's referral needed if you start within that window
- Coverage applies regardless of who was at fault
- Virtual sessions fully covered — join from home
- Extensions available when clinically needed
- Family members may also be covered — see ICBC Family Counselling
The Counselling Gap on Vancouver Island
The Courtenay-Comox area is growing fast, but mental health resources have not kept pace — particularly for specialized MVA trauma support. Driving anxiety, PTSD, sleep disruption, emotional shutdown — these do not go away on their own and they deserve proper support. Virtual counselling means you get the same quality of care as someone in a city, without leaving home.
