Anxiety can be debilitating in your life and prevent you from moving forward in whatever direction you want to proceed. Therapy can be beneficial in uncovering parts of you that are fearful and anxious and help in freeing them.

Charlie Young
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC #22791
Chronic anxiety keeps the body in a low-level activated state, which over time contributes to digestive issues, persistent tension, disrupted sleep, and immune changes — part of why anxiety is exhausting even on days when nothing happens. My work addresses both the thinking, and sometimes trauma, that drives activation and the physical state that makes anxious thinking more likely, at a pace you can tolerate. I'm a queer and trans RCC providing virtual therapy across BC, specializing in gender-affirming care, hormone readiness assessments, and identity exploration, though any topic is welcome. Often our environments don't support us the way we need them to, and I help name that context rather than treating it as a problem arising within you. You can bring something specific or start with the sense that something is off — during the free 15-minute consult we'll talk about what brings you to counselling and how I can help.

Karen Baker
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CTP Dipl
Anxiety often has roots that go back further than we realize. For many, it developed as a way of staying alert to someone else's moods or needs, long before we had words for what was happening. I help clients understand where their anxiety comes from and find a steadier, more grounded way of moving through the world.

Anxiety is the most commonly reported concern among clients at Nightingale Counselling, and our therapists understand that it is not a disorder or pathology but a normal human experience that can become deeply distressing when it goes into overdrive. We work with clients across the full spectrum of anxiety, from everyday stress and worry to panic, insomnia, and social anxiety, addressing both the immediate symptoms and the deeper root causes that so often go unexplored. Using a combination of practical stabilization tools like breathing and grounding techniques alongside deeper therapeutic exploration, our Registered Clinical Counsellors help clients build lasting insight and capacity rather than simply managing symptoms from session to session.

Anxiety & Fear are so misunderstood and mistreated, leaving people almost paralyzed. Working with these tools can change your life and these things that are meant to help you, can get back to doing what they were meant to do, instead of robbing you of your life, helping you to live it.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
Anxiety isn’t who you are—it’s a part of you trying to keep you safe.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by racing thoughts, constant worry, or fear that won’t let go, it can be exhausting. Anxiety often comes from parts of us that learned to stay hyper-alert to avoid pain or danger. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic practices like TRE, I help you gently connect with these protective parts and the deeper wounds they may be guarding. Together, we’ll create space for calm, clarity, and a deeper sense of internal safety—so you can move through life with more ease and trust.

Reg Fleming
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., RMFT, RCC
Anxiety is common with humans. We need anxiety to alert us to a perceived threat. Working to understand your fears and what happens when you get activated is part of the process. When anxiety is high, typically an emotional approach, addressing that part that is activated and what actions to take to source your calm Self.

Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Retrain your unconscious mind. Overcome anxiety, defeat, and frustration. And feel like yourself again, for good.
If you’ve experienced anxiety, you know what it’s like to feel stuck in repeated patterns of thoughts and feelings. You know what it’s like to wish you could make a change, but feel completely powerless over your behaviours. You understand feeling stuck and feeling defeated. You wonder why you can’t simply move on. Why you can’t just let it go.
But although this feeling is incredibly frustrating, it’s also a completely human stress response. Your brain is under duress, so it reverts back to operating unconsciously. It relies on the default programming that’s been developing throughout your life. It’s the reason why, even when you want to change your behaviour, in your current state, you actually can’t. You naturally snap back into old routines and patterns. Because they are familiar, and they seem safe.
To get to the root of the problem and actually change your anxiety-inducing behaviours and thought patterns, you need to reprogram your unconscious mind. With a combination of hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and neurofeedback sessions, I can help you do just that.

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
While Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) is highly effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders (e.g., Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), clinicians do see some “return of fear,” or partial relapse, in some patients due to a variety of factors. Over the past two decades, treatment researchers, with whom Dr. Jayson Mystkowski had the pleasure of working with at UCLA for over 10 years, have studied “return of fear” and discovered some key variables that may optimize the effects of learning during CBT for anxiety disorders (Craske et al., 2008).
First, evidence suggests that focusing on tolerating fear versus eliminating fear yields better clinical outcomes in the long term. Namely, teaching clients that fear and anxiety are normal feelings, rather than attempting to “down-regulate” such feelings all the time, is more realistic and seems to engender “hardier” clients. Second, helping clients to generate an expectancy that “scary things will not happen,” is very powerful. To do this, it is important for clinicians to create more complex exposure exercises (i.e., tasks in which a client confronts a stimulus of which they are afraid), using multiple feared stimuli instead of one at a time. Then, the lack of a feared outcome becomes particularly surprising and memorable for a client and fear reduction is more potent. Third, increasing the accessibility and retrievability of non-fear memories learned during treatment are powerful factors in mitigating against a return of fear. Craske and colleagues demonstrated that exposure to variations of a feared stimulus, using a random schedule across multiple contexts or situations, is more effective than exposure to the same stimulus, on a predictable schedule, in an unchanging environment. The former paradigm, it is argued, creates stronger non-fear memories that are easier for a client to access when subsequently confronting feared objects or situations outside of the therapy context, than the later scenario.
In sum, clinicians have long been aware that some fear or anxiety returns following very successful CBT treatment. As mentioned above, there are some clear, empirically supported ways to modify the therapy we provide to further help clients generalize the gains made in therapy sessions to the real world.

Mikyla Bergman
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Anxiety has increased in its impacts on our society, especially among the younger generation leading me to deepen my understanding of anxiety’s effect on thoughts, emotions, and overall well-being. My counseling approach is designed to create a supportive and versatile space, recognizing the challenges and triggers that come with anxiety. Sessions focus on developing coping strategies, emotional regulation, and practical life skills to help manage stress and regain a sense of balance. Whether you’re looking to better understand your anxiety, build resilience, or develop tools to navigate daily challenges, I’m here to support you with compassion and evidence-based strategies.
Anxiety is far reaching and I aim to work alongside you to minimize the impact on emotional regulation, heightened stress responses, avoidance behaviors, and difficulty managing uncertainty. I also focus on the physical manifest as restlessness, fatigue, tension, or even panic, affecting overall well-being and daily functioning.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Anxiety can feel incredibly isolating, but it's important to remember that you're not alone in this experience. Many people struggle with feelings of fear and apprehension, especially during challenging times. It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed, and recognizing those emotions is the first step toward managing them.
Finding effective coping mechanisms can make a significant difference. Techniques like mindfulness and deep breathing can help center your thoughts and bring a sense of calm. Cognitive behavioral strategies can also provide valuable tools to challenge negative thought patterns.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to your support system—friends, family, or professionals—who can offer understanding and assistance. Sometimes, just sharing your feelings can lighten the load you’re carrying. You have the strength to face your fears, and with time and practice, you can regain a sense of control over your life. Your feelings are valid, and taking steps to address them is a courageous move toward healing.
