I'm Dave Dyck, a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) based in Nanaimo. As a registered ICBC provider, I offer virtual ICBC counselling to Duncan 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
Mental health support in the Cowichan Valley is limited — especially for people dealing with the specific psychological aftermath of a motor vehicle accident. 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.
What I Help With
- PTSD and trauma from the accident
- Driving anxiety and fear of being in vehicles
- Anxiety, panic attacks, and hypervigilance
- Sleep disruption and emotional exhaustion
- Depression and withdrawal
- Concussion-related emotional impacts
- Relationship and family stress after the accident — family coverage may apply
How to Get Started
- Contact me with your ICBC claim number
- I confirm your coverage and book your first session
- I direct bill ICBC — you focus on recovering
