Adult Treatment

I go to Aphasia Group every week because it gets me out of the house. It helps me with my talking. I like to meet other people who have the same affliction. Thank you for helping me.

- Les Hoover (client in our Surrey Aphasia Group)

How we work with clients

At Columbia, we believe in a collaborative approach to treatment with our adult clients. We listen to your concerns, do a thorough evaluation, and set joint goals based on the results of assessment and a client’s individual needs and wishes.

Columbia therapists use a practical, hands-on approach that may include any member of a client's "team" - including, for example: family members, friends, employers, other therapists, insurance company representatives, physicians, and anyone else who is part of the client's life.

Treatment is available in our Vancouver office or at the clients' home, workplace, health care centre, or any other convenient setting. Fees are charged for therapists' travel costs.

How to register

Adults may contact Columbia and pay directly for services. Columbia does not require a referral from a doctor; however, extended health plans often do require a doctor's referral in order to accept a claim. We advise clients to check the requirements of their own extended health plans.

Fees for eligible clients may be covered by the Insurance Corporation of B.C., WorkSafeBC, Crime Victims Assistance Program of B.C., and a variety of employers, disability plans, lawyers, charities, and government agencies.

Columbia is the exclusive speech language pathology service provider to the Acquired Brain Injury Program within the Fraser Health Authority, a large geographic area covering Burnaby to Boston Bar.

Contact Columbia at 604-875-9100 to discuss your needs or make a referral.  Our receptionist is available to personally answer your calls from 9 to 5, Monday to Friday.
