Indigenous Counselling in Chilliwack & the Fraser Valley
Ch’íyáqtel Wellness isn’t reaching into Chilliwack from somewhere else — this is where we are. Our centre sits at 46770 Bailey Rd, on Stó:lō territory, and we’re part of Tzeachten First Nation. You can see a counsellor here in person, or by video or phone anywhere in the Fraser Valley — Abbotsford, Mission, Agassiz, Hope, and beyond. Our counsellors are FNHA-registered and bill FNHA directly, so we’ll help you check your eligibility before you book anything.

Getting care from here
How we reach you
Chilliwack is the centre, not the limit. If you’re in Abbotsford, Mission, Agassiz, Hope, or anywhere else in the Fraser Valley and a drive to Bailey Rd isn’t realistic — work, transportation, the highway — the same counsellors see you by video or phone instead. It’s the identical session, just without the drive.
What this is
Counselling delivered from the place Ch’íyáqtel Wellness actually calls home. We aren’t a head office somewhere else with a Chilliwack landing page — our centre is at 46770 Bailey Rd, on Stó:lō territory, and Ch’íyáqtel Wellness is part of Tzeachten First Nation. If you’d rather sit across from someone than talk through a screen, this is where that happens.
Our approach
We practise Two-Eyed Seeing — the traditional knowledge of the Stó:lō people held alongside modern clinical care, neither one asked to make room for the other. Being physically present on this territory, and part of Tzeachten First Nation, is not a detail on a page — it’s the ground the practice is built on.
What it costs
Our counsellors are FNHA-registered, and we bill FNHA directly — eligible members pay nothing out of pocket, and there’s no claim to file afterwards. If you’re covered by NIHB instead, or you’re not sure what you’re covered by, ask us and we’ll check with you.
Getting started
Send us a message or call. Tell us whether you’d rather come to Bailey Rd or meet by video or phone, and we’ll help you check your eligibility, match you with a counsellor, and book your first session.

I’m in Abbotsford, Mission, Agassiz, or Hope — is this still for me?
