Therapy for Anxiety and Fears at Lotus Beacon of Hope Psychotherapy in Toronto and Ontario
Anxiety and fears can significantly impact your daily life, making it difficult to feel at ease and enjoy everyday activities. At Lotus Beacon of Hope Psychotherapy, we offer specialized therapy for anxiety and fears to help you regain control and find peace. Serving the Toronto GTA and Ontario region, our experienced therapists use a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to support your journey towards emotional well-being.
Our therapy services for anxiety and fears include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Assists in identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety.
Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Enhances your ability to manage stress and stay present in the moment.
Exposure Therapy: Gradual exposure to feared situations or objects to reduce anxiety responses over time.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): A powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps process and reduce the impact of traumatic memories and irrational fears. EMDR uses guided eye movements to help the brain reprocess distressing memories, leading to decreased anxiety and emotional distress.
How EMDR Can Help with Anxiety and Fears
EMDR is particularly effective for treating anxiety and fears rooted in past experiences or trauma. During EMDR sessions, you will be guided to focus on a distressing memory while simultaneously following the therapist's hand movements with your eyes. This process helps your brain reprocess the memory, reducing its emotional charge and the intensity of the anxiety or fear associated with it. Over time, EMDR can help you gain a new perspective on past events, leading to a significant reduction in anxiety and an increased sense of calm and control.
If you are struggling with anxiety and fears, reach out for a consultation. Discover how our psychotherapy services, including EMDR, in the Toronto GTA and Ontario can help you achieve lasting relief and emotional resilience.

Tianna Home
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Fears and anxiety are natural yet often distressing responses to perceived threats or uncertainties. Fear is an acute reaction to immediate danger, triggering the body's fight-or-flight response. Anxiety, however, is a chronic state of apprehension about potential future events and can stem from genetic predisposition, past trauma, or ongoing stress.
In therapy, my goal is to help individuals understand the roots of their fears and anxieties, develop coping strategies, and reframe their thoughts. Techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and mindfulness are used to empower clients to manage these responses. The process is personalized, creating a supportive environment for exploring and addressing these challenging emotions.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RP
Are you feeling overwhelmed with worries, doubts or fears? Do you feel like you are running on empty and can't turn off the running dialogue in your mind - rehashing or replaying harsh judgments and rules or past events or interactions? Maybe you are feeling burnt out, emotionally irritable, or experiencing frequent bouts of random crying.
Well, you have found your tribe!
I support individuals who, like you and most Canadians, struggle with anxiety and unexplained panic. When stress is unchecked or attempts to manage it become rigid expressions of control, pleasurable activities and social connections become limited and restricted, leaving one to feel isolated and alone.
Working together, we will learn to compassionately transform your functional relationship with anxiety - how it triggers you and how you react. We will strive to develop a mindfully flexible approach to difficult thoughts, feelings and emotions so they have less impact and influence on your life. I aim to help you feel empowered to drop the struggle against yourself and begin to find freedom and fulfillment.

Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, MPE, RP
What is anxiety? Anxiety is characterized by persistent and excessive worry about one or multiple things. For example, one may have an excessive amount of worry in several aspects of life (finances, career, health, responsibilities, parenting, family, household chores, etc). These worries can be major or minor concerns. Anxiety responses can be in the form of emotional or physical reactions. In small doses, anxiety can be helpful, especially when it helps protect us from danger. However, when anxiety becomes severe or happens frequently, it can become debilitating and can take over your life.
Psychotherapy can learn to reduce stressors and improve coping skills. There is evidence to suggest that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be successful in helping with anxiety, as during CBT, unhealthy thinking patterns that create anxiety are identified and challenged. Two other form of therapeutic treatment that may be recommended for anxiety are Relaxation Skills and Exposure Therapy.
Book an appointment today! Anxiety can grow and enable avoidance behaviors that can create harmful behavioral cycles and worsen anxiety. It is important to seek help from a mental health professional in order to alleviate your symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety is just one of the areas that LifeCycle Counselling specializes in.

Hiba Khatkhat @ Under The Oaks Self Care Center
Registered Psychotherapist, MA CMHC, RP
Anxiety and Fear can have many causes. You can explore this, find the root cause, and treat that. Fear-based thinking can come in many forms and can affect you in a variety of ways: feeling confident, trusting yourself, worrying, anticipating, feeling socially awkward and anxious. Fear can also happen in the form of phobias that develop over time. Phobias' role is to help you manage behaviourally what's going on for you emotionally. The problem is, it leads to unwanted outcomes.

For dealing with anxiety, first of all, I help my clients to manage their physical symptoms of anxiety and then they are able to take control of their bodies, secondly we try to identify automatic negative thoughts and learn how to deal with them and challenge them. It is okay to have anxiety, but you need to learn how to deal with it faster.

Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Worry and nerves are normal feelings to experience, however when worry and nerves start to affect daily routines for extended periods, anxiety becomes problematic. People struggling with anxiety disorders especially fear the worst as it relates to employment, health, finances, and/or relationships. This fear is persistent despite the reality of the situation.
