Anxiety
Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
At Laird Counselling Services, we understand that anxiety shows up differently for everyone. For some, it’s a constant background tension that never fully quiets. For others, it comes in intense waves that feel sudden, overwhelming, and hard to predict. Anxiety can affect your thoughts, sleep, energy, and confidence, often in ways that are difficult to put into words. You might notice constant worry, feeling on edge, trouble concentrating, irritability, or a sense of heaviness that lingers. Sometimes there’s a clear reason for the anxiety; other times, it seems to appear without warning. However it shows up for you, we recognize how uncomfortable—and at times isolating—this experience can be.
When anxiety becomes a regular part of daily life, it can start to shape how you think, feel, and move through the world. You may find yourself caught in cycles of “what if” thinking, replaying conversations, anticipating worst-case scenarios, or feeling braced for something to go wrong even when things seem okay. Certain situations—such as social interactions, public speaking, crowds, or making important decisions—may feel especially challenging. You might also experience physical symptoms like a racing heart, restlessness, muscle tension, stomach discomfort, or difficulty sleeping. And sometimes, the most unsettling part is feeling anxious without a clear explanation at all.
Anxiety is a natural human response, but when it lingers or begins to limit your choices, relationships, or sense of safety, it can be deeply exhausting. Many people cope in ways that offer short-term relief—such as emotional eating, drinking more than usual, staying constantly busy, overspending, or numbing out online—not because they’re doing something wrong, but because they’re trying to find some relief from the constant unease. You are not alone in this.
At Laird Counselling Services, we have extensive experience supporting individuals living with anxiety in its many forms. Therapy offers a space to better understand your anxiety, identify what keeps it going, and develop practical, compassionate strategies to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control. Change is possible, and it doesn’t require “getting rid” of anxiety—it’s about learning how to relate to it differently so it no longer runs your life.

Ms. Clare Pentelow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Anxiety and fears can be very distressing. Working with my clients I try to deeply understand their fears, and the root causes. Anxiety can be caused by stress, brain chemistry, traumatic experiences or situational factors (such as a pandemic!). Depending on your personal situation we can work together to find an therapeutic approach that works for you. Often I use a combination of cognitive behavioural techniques, and emotion processing techniques to support clients in addressing the fears and anxieties they are facing.

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.

Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
I work with anxiety and fear by exploring their deeper emotional and relational roots. Rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, I help clients uncover the unconscious conflicts, defenses, and early experiences that may be fueling their distress. Through a supportive and reflective process, we make meaning of these feelings, allowing for greater self-understanding, emotional regulation, and inner freedom.

Anxiety
Clare Pentelow
Therapist, MSW, RSW
Anxiety often feels like a constant, noisy background hum or a sharp, sudden alarm that keeps you in a state of high alert. In our work together, we don’t just aim to "quiet" these symptoms; we seek to understand the protective role they have played in your life. Using an IFS (Internal Family Systems) lens, we’ll get curious about the parts of you that feel overwhelmed by "what-ifs" or social dread. By integrating EMDR with a relational and psychodynamic approach, we work to "digest" the underlying experiences and old patterns that fuel chronic unease.
My goal is to provide a warm, empathetic space where we can unpack the origins of your fears and the impact they’ve had on your self-esteem. We will move at your pace to build internal safety and self-compassion, allowing you to move from a place of survival to one where you feel grounded, capable, and more fully connected to the present moment

David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Anxiety can feel exhausting, especially when your mind never fully slows down. You may find yourself overthinking conversations, expecting the worst, struggling to relax, or feeling emotionally drained from constantly trying to hold everything together on your own. Anxiety can also affect relationships, sleep, confidence, decision-making, and your ability to feel fully present in everyday life.
I aim to create a calm and supportive space where you can speak openly about what you’re experiencing without feeling judged, rushed, or pressured to have everything figured out right away. Together, we can explore the stress, fears, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck while working toward healthier coping strategies, greater self-understanding, and a stronger sense of balance in your day-to-day life.

Mind Path Therapy
Therapist, MSW, RSW
If you're experiencing chronic worry that keeps you up at night, avoiding meetings, dating, and other social situations for fear of being judged or rejected, or having panic attacks, you are not alone. Approximately one in five people in North America (and higher with some groups) annually experience anxiety symptoms. You may be experiencing a mind racing with thoughts, physically uncomfortable, anxious feelings, and, like so many people who suffer with anxiety, you may be avoiding many things, including your own feelings, others, and specific situations, and feel like you're caught in a never-ending cycle. I approach anxiety problems using a mix of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (to identify and compassionately change your unique pattern of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (to help you stop struggling with anxiety and move towards it with a kind, accepting, and change mindset). I also help you learn ways of focusing attention less on the anxious worries and situations you fear, and more on activities and people that matter to you.

Amanda Stokes
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, E-RYT 500
I use a polyvagal theory framework to help people learn the boundaries of their window of tolerance and how to regulate their nervous system in order to return to it. I also use Exposure Therapy to help individuals face their fears. I also full-heartedly believe that our anxiety is our body's way of alerting us to what is unprocessed or not okay for us. If we begin to listen to and feel into the anxiety in our bodies, we can get the answers from within.

Tej Neringer, Pivotal Counseling
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes persistent, overwhelming, and interferes with daily life, it can develop into an anxiety disorder. My approach to working with Anxiety is twofold. First, learning coping strategies and ways to cope with anxiety in the moment so that you are better able to stay grounded and continue with life, even when anxiety is present. Second, we identify, explore and challenge any thoughts, beliefs or behaviours that are contributing to the on-going anxiety, with the goal of understanding the root cause of the anxiety and adjusting thought patterns to reduce or eliminate anxiety moving forward.

Diana Wamsteeker

I have a particular focus on supporting clients experiencing anxiety, worry, and fear-based responses that can feel overwhelming or difficult to manage. This may include generalized anxiety, panic symptoms, social anxiety, or fears that interfere with daily functioning, relationships, or decision-making. My approach is both practical and compassionate, helping clients better understand how anxiety operates in the mind and body, while also developing concrete strategies to reduce its impact. Together, we work to build tolerance for uncertainty, strengthen emotional regulation, and shift long-standing patterns that may be keeping you feeling stuck or on edge.

Anxiety and fear can seriously impact our lives and well being. Our natural impulse is to move away from the things that cause anxiety and fear. But to over come we must move towards out worries. Coming to therapy can be the first step to gaining mastery over the things that are causing us stress. I'm here to support you and guide the process to feeling more empowered and greater peace.
