The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) offers mental wellness and counselling benefits to eligible First Nations people living in British Columbia.

If you are looking for FNHA counselling in Langley, our team can help you explore available appointments and determine whether an FNHA-registered counsellor is available to support you.

What is FNHA Counselling

The First Nations Health Authority provides mental health counselling benefits to eligible First Nations clients in BC.

The program supports access to qualified mental health professionals, including registered clinical counsellors, psychologists, and social workers who are approved through the FNHA Health Benefits program.

Coverage is based on program eligibility and the provider’s registration status. Clients should confirm their benefits and provider eligibility before booking.

How Counselling Can Support Your Well-Being

Counselling can offer a confidential, supportive space to explore challenges affecting your emotional, mental, and relational well-being.

Depending on your individual needs, counselling may help with:

  • Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
  • Depression and changes in mood
  • Trauma and difficult life experiences
  • Grief, loss, and major life transitions
  • Family and relationship challenges
  • Self-esteem, identity, and personal growth
  • Developing coping strategies and emotional resilience

Your counselling experience should reflect your personal goals, values, preferences, and circumstances.

A Respectful and Collaborative Approach

At Pacific Pines Wellness, we recognize that cultural identity, family, community, and lived experiences can play important roles in mental wellness.

We aim to provide a respectful, compassionate environment where you have a voice in your care and where your experiences are approached without judgment.

We also recognize the lasting impacts that historical and intergenerational trauma can have on individuals, families, and communities.

Your counsellor will work collaboratively with you to understand your goals, discuss therapeutic approaches, and support your choices throughout the counselling process.
