Kitimat

Community rehabilitation in Kitimat. There is no office in Kitimat; our Northwest team, based in Terrace, visits clients here.

Occupational therapists serve Kitimat and Kitamaat Village. We see clients at home, in the community, at work and online.

Kitimat General Hospital serves the town. Our clinicians drive Highway 37 from Terrace, about an hour, to see clients at home and at work. Kitimat's big employers are the Rio Tinto BC Works aluminum smelter and LNG Canada, along with the construction and trades work around them. We also serve Kitamaat Village, home of the Haisla Nation.

Clients are referred by WorkSafeBC, ICBC, Veterans Affairs Canada, long-term disability insurers, employers and lawyers. The goal is function and independence at home, in the community and, where possible, at work.

To arrange community rehabilitation in Kitimat, the client's case manager, adjuster, disability insurer, employer or lawyer sends a referral to referrals@creativetherapyconsultants.ca or calls 1-888-880-3222. We contact the client within 1 business day of the referral, and the client gets their clinician's direct phone number and email. Sessions take place at home, in the community, at work or online, and the nearest CTC office is in Terrace.
