Anxiety or Fears
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.

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.

While anxiety and stress in small amounts can be a helpful source of information, too much can become overwhelming and even interfere with our daily lives. Therapy can be a space to explore the impacts of anxiety and how it may have become engrained into your self-narrative. You and I can work together to co-create coping strategies that are unique to your specific situation. Contact me to book a free consultation so we can decide together if we would be a good fit.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
We all have feelings of worry from time to time. However if these thoughts and feelings are persistent and you find you have a constant racing mind, spiralling, catastrophic thoughts, or have the feeling of being on-edge about every little thing, you may be struggling with symptoms of anxiety. Psychotherapy is a powerful tool to help manage and mitigate symptoms of anxiety by uncovering the root cause of your worries. By understanding your fears and triggers, you can better navigate anxiety provoking situations and move through them with more ease and confidence.

Beyond Talk Psychotherapy
Licensed Psychoanalyst, RP, CAT, CCC, ATPQ, ACNN
Anxiety and Fears are emotions characterized by thoughts, feelings and physical changes. Externalizing the anxiety or fears can help separate yourself from the problem. This will give you the opportunity to look at anxiety or fear on its own and understand how it is impacting your lived experience. Anxiety or fears are only part of your narrative. By exploring your self-narrative we will be able to begin the process of reframing your stories to develop a more positive and beneficial narrative. Anxiety or Fears could be explored by either talking or creating artworks.

Emily Beeckmans
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, B.A., B.S.W., M.S.W., RSW, CHRP
For people with anxiety disorders, negative ways of thinking fuel the negative emotions of anxiety and fear. The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety is to identify and correct these negative thoughts and beliefs. The idea is that if you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel.

Zanna Seipp-Katz
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Anxiety and fear is so prevalent in our society today. My strength is narrowing down what the root of the issue may be and to create achievable goals in which to conquer or manage these issues. Incorporating DBT skills when necessary has been very beneficial for many who are challenged with anxiety and fear.

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.

Leigh Berry
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, RHN
Helping women to hold space for the discomfort that feeling anxiety and fear brings. With anxiety often comes feelings of overwhelm, a sense of paralysis- not knowing how to move forward or make decisions, difficulty focusing or completing tasks, brain fog, trouble sleeping, as well as digestive issues. Together, we will work to uncover the root causes behind your thoughts, feelings and symptoms to provide you with concrete, practical tools you can use to support overwhelming emotions. From working together you can develop awareness and insight into thought and behaviour patterns, while learning to relate more amicably to the emotions gripping and pushing you around. When we do this, we can focus more on what matters in our life.

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.

Ryta Marie Peschka
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
In these unprecedented times in our lives many of us are dealing with feelings of great uncertainty about our individual future and how to handle and cope with life changes. Repetitive thoughts are often aligned with anxiety. Anxiety has a cyclical pattern and unless it is interrupted it will run its course, causes overwhelming feelings of fear and despair. Through a compassionate and observational lens reducing stress and anxiety will cultivate focus and clarity. Learning to connect to our senses is very grounded and can quickly break the anxiety cycle and help bring us back to our own center. Book a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.
