Anxiety or Fears
Ivan Pityk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Work, projects, family and friends can all be rewarding and give our life meaning. We strive to do our best and make life meaningful, but this can sometimes make it difficult to manage your energy and stress level to do the things you find fulfilling. Anxiety and stress are important parts to motivate ourselves to achieve more. This makes it sometimes easy to minimize its impact on our quality of life. When this happens, we may find things we enjoyed before to have less meaning and things like selfcare become a chore. Living at this pace can quickly lead to burnout and depression.
Recognizing anxiety and burnout in ourselves and others can be difficult, especially when we feel like pushing through is the best way to overcome these feelings. Even though our anxiety encourages us to push through, it exacerbates the exhaustion we are already feeling. You are not alone in this and seeking help can improve stress management, work life balance, and reduce feelings of overwhelm.
Anxiety and fear act as important processes for motivating us to do better and make sure we perform well or account for future problems. However, like many things in life its often hard to balance, sometime becoming over focused on anxiety itself. I can help explore these processes and find way of managing anxiety and anxious thoughts by incorporating CBT and DBT skills.

Catherine Dwyer
Registered Social Worker, MSW RSW
Being a human being is hard especially when we don’t quite understand how our nervous system operates, how we’re hardwired and why we think, feel, and act the ways we do. Anxiety and fear can show up in our lives in so many ways that just keep us stuck and get in our way of leading our best life. My goal is help you better understand your own inner workings, cultivate some psychological flexibility, and enhance your ability to take committed actions towards building a more balanced, manageable, meaningful life.

Matt Temple
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P., C.C.C.
I believe that anxiety is unavoidable. It is a part of being human. However, we can develop a deeper understanding and acceptance of it and learn to listen to it so that it can help us move in new directions. Further, there are times when we are able to develop tools to manage it when it takes up more space than is helpful. Most importantly, we can open ourselves to experiencing it differently.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
In working with clients on their anxiety and stress I primarily aim to promote understanding: understanding of why we are feeling so anxious and stressed, what factors contribute, what can be done to better manage or eliminate anxiety and stress from our lives, and most importantly, how to eliminate ambiguity from our lives. I specialize in working with clients on their stress and anxiety, whether it stems from work, relationships, family, trauma, lifestyle, or beliefs. It is only through understanding that we can promote comprehensive and meaningful change in our lives. I utilize principles of cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused work, and psychodynamics in my work.

It is common for most people to experience moments or periods of fear and anxiety, especially in today's fast paced , uncertain and rapidly changing world. More specifically, anxiety may manifest in response to trauma, PTSD, or critical life events which are perceived as a threat to an individuals sense of safety, security and survival.

EMDR Therapy Toronto - Heal Anxiety, PTSD, Childhood Trauma - Ayan Mukherjee
Registered Psychotherapist, Certified EMDR Therapist & Consultant
Heightened anxiety and fears are often a result of your emotional brain living in state of survival mode. This can happen if the emotional brain is stuck in "trauma time", whether it is from childhood trauma or recent traumatic events. Hypervigilance from having to walk on eggshells around a parent or an ex-partner can also stay in the body as elevated fearful anxiety. We will use EMDR Therapy, IFS, Somatic approaches to process the trauma memories, release the stuck fight-flight response in the body, and also desensitize the imagined scenarios that bring up the anxiety and the fears. Email me for a free 30-minute phone consultation to discuss more.

Lori Ralko
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.A., RSW
Struggling with anxiety can be such an overwhelming experience that affects all other aspects of life. If we were to work together, our first goal would be to help you reduce the intensity, duration, and frequency of anxiety to a manageable level. The key to this is often the development of emotional regulation tools that you can rely on when you're in distress. If your anxiety is less intense, we can explore potential purposes of the anxiety to see how you may move forward best.
