Anxiety Counselling

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, affecting every aspect of your life from work and relationships to sleep and daily activities. Whether you're experiencing persistent worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, or specific fears, you don't have to navigate these challenges alone.

Common anxiety experiences we help with:

Generalized Anxiety - Persistent worry about multiple areas of life that feels difficult to control

Panic Disorder - Sudden, intense episodes of fear accompanied by physical symptoms like racing heart or difficulty breathing

Social Anxiety - Fear of judgment or embarrassment in social situations that limits your interactions

Specific Phobias - Intense fear of particular objects, situations, or activities that interferes with daily life

Health Anxiety - Excessive worry about physical symptoms or developing serious illness

Performance Anxiety - Fear related to work presentations, public speaking, or other performance situations

Post-Traumatic Stress - Anxiety symptoms following traumatic experiences

You might be experiencing:

• Racing thoughts that won't quiet down
• Physical symptoms like muscle tension, headaches, or stomach issues
• Avoidance of situations that trigger anxiety
• Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
• Feeling constantly "on edge" or expecting something bad to happen
• Panic attacks that feel overwhelming and scary

Our approach to anxiety treatment:

We use evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Emotion Focused Therapy to help you understand your anxiety patterns and develop effective coping strategies. Treatment is tailored to your specific concerns and may include:

• Learning practical techniques to manage anxious thoughts and physical symptoms
• Gradually facing feared situations in a supportive, controlled way
• Processing underlying experiences that may contribute to your anxiety
• Developing long-term strategies for maintaining emotional balance

What you can expect:

Anxiety treatment often provides relief relatively quickly, though everyone's timeline is different. We'll work together to identify what triggers your anxiety, understand how it affects your life, and develop personalized strategies that help you feel more in control.

Sessions are available in-person at our Calgary office or online throughout Alberta, Nunavut, and Quebec. Many clients find significant improvement in their anxiety symptoms and overall quality of life through therapy.

You deserve to feel calm and confident in your daily life. Let's work together to help you reclaim your peace of mind.
