SERVING THE FRASER VALLEY SINCE 2009

REAL CONNECTION. LASTING CHANGE. EVERY AGE. EVERY STAGE. ONE TEAM

We're not your average counselling practice — and we're okay with that. Eterna has been home to real therapy, real relationships, and real change since 2009. We're a team of therapists who believe the relationship is the therapy, and we take that seriously. We laugh with you, sit with the hard stuff, and show up fully for wherever you're at. Whether you're navigating trauma, relationships, or just trying to feel more like yourself — we're here for it. Serving individuals, couples, families, and youth across Abbotsford and Chilliwack.

Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. It's a unique fit built just
for you!

Our therapists are trained across a broad range of modalities because no two people heal the same way. Every person who walks through our doors brings a different history, a different nervous system, and a different set of needs, and we think your therapy should reflect that.

Each therapist on our team has their own unique clinical identity, built through years of specialized training, lived experience, and genuine passion for the people they work with. Some of our therapists specialize in trauma and work primarily through somatic or EMDR approaches. Others are deeply rooted in attachment theory, narrative therapy, or DBT. 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Identify and reshape the thought patterns that keep you stuck. CBT is one of the most researched, effective tools for anxiety & depression.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Designed to strengthen emotional bonds in couples and individuals. Get beneath the surface conflict to address the attachment needs driving it.

Gottman Theory (Couples)

A couples therapy approach built on real relationship research. Focuses on building friendship, managing conflict, & creating shared meaning.

Somatic Therapy

Recognizes that trauma lives in the body, not just the mind. Uses body-based awareness to release what talk therapy alone sometimes can't reach.

Narrative Therapy

Helps you separate your identity from your problems and rewrite the stories you tell about yourself. You are not your diagnosis, your past, or your worst moments.

Trauma Informed Care

Not a single technique but a foundational approach that shapes everything we do. Every session prioritizes safety, trust, and your sense of control.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

DBT-informed support for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and building healthy, stable relationships in your everyday life.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Forward-looking and practical, this approach focuses on your strengths and what's already working. Helps you build on small wins toward meaningful change.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Explores how your earliest relationships shaped the way you connect with others today. Helps you build more secure, fulfilling relationships.

ESPRESSO SHOTS & DEEP THOUGHTS

THE WORK DOESN'T STOP WHEN THE SESSION ENDS. 

Real growth happens between appointments. In how you respond to conflict, talk to yourself after a hard day, and show up for the people you love when it isn't easy.

At Eterna Counselling, we believe therapy is only part of the equation, the other part is what you do in your daily. That's why we created Espresso Shots & Deep Thoughts, our quarterly print magazine written by our own therapists and distributed across Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and the Fraser Valley. Clinical insight, practical tools, and honest conversations about mental health, delivered to your daily life, not just your therapy hour.

 

Because healing isn't an appointment. It's a practice.
