Marly McAstocker is a registered therapist with the Crime Victim Assistance Program and can bill directly to this program.
The Crime Victim Assistance Program, funded by the government, provides counselling services to support individuals in their recovery from traumatic events.
If you or a close family member have experienced violence, such as physical or sexual abuse, or have witnessed such crimes, you may qualify for financial support to cover therapy expenses. Even if you're uncertain about whether you've been a victim of crime, you can reach out to VictimLink BC at 1-800-563-0808 for assistance. Victim service workers are available to assist in applying for funding through the Crime Victim Assistance Program.
Financial aid is accessible regardless of whether a perpetrator has been charged, and there's no time limit for applications from victims of sexual offenses.
Please don't hesitate to contact us directly to discuss the CVAP program further, or you can refer to VictimLink BC for additional information.

Confidentiality Policy
Maintaining confidentiality is paramount within our practice. Any breach of confidentiality by a therapist is subject to disciplinary measures by their respective college or governing body. Under legal obligations, we must report instances of child abuse or threats of harm to others and take necessary steps to safeguard individuals at risk of self-harm. However, we do not disclose any information without your explicit consent. In cases where a third party (such as WCB or ICBC) is funding your assessment or treatment, they may require progress updates, which will be communicated with you beforehand.
