Sue Blair
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Anxiety can feel like a constant hum of worry, a tight chest, racing thoughts, or the exhaustion of trying to hold it all together. In Ajax, Pickering, and across Durham Region, I offer compassionate, evidence based therapy for adults, teens, and youth living with generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, and anxiety rooted in trauma. Drawing from CBT, DBT, mindfulness based approaches, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing, we work together to understand what fuels your anxiety and build practical tools that help you respond with steadiness instead of fear.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
"The Gestalt perspective is inherently relational.
Anxiety symptoms experienced in the body are understood as individual expressions of relational suffering (Roubal, Gecele, & Francesetti, 2013) when the individual’s process of contacting with other people lacks spontaneity and fluidity.
In such cases, the style of interpersonal contact is rigidly distorted by fixed relational patterns, and needs are not being met within relationships.
Relating to others and oneself according to a need to “do the right thing” could be one example of such distortions, narrowing the possibilities of experience and of creative adjustment (Robine, 2013).
The flow of figure/ground formation becomes disrupted, because the person fears taking risks to find creative ways
toward mutually satisfactory contact.
While the arousal is present, the organism is inhibited or even paralyzed.
In therapy, support is needed to transform anxiety into fluid and creative excitement.
The support comes from the therapeutic relationship, in which the needs of the client are recognized and validated.
In the safe therapeutic situation, the client’s inhibition is reduced and the arousal of her/his organism can be directed towards an expression of relationally felt needs.
A client's experience could then be:
“With the therapist I can risk being my way without judging it as right or wrong”.
The paralyzing anxiety is transformed into an excitement of discovering new creative ways of contact.
The client experiments with them first in the safe psychotherapeutic relationship and later also with other people
(Herrera, Mstibovskyi, Roubal & Brownell, 2018)."
If reading the above creates anxiety for you, you need to call me and come in feel what gestalt therapy can do.
Reading about it is not helping is it?
I didn't think so!
Call me... let's be anxious together.
You are not alone, yes I have had panic attacks before... thought I was going to die.

Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
People often over worry and panic about situations that they perceive that they are incapable of handling them. This can cause anxiety, which affects sleep, productivity, and social interactions. Anxiety can cause physiological reactions such as shortness of breath, sweating, chest pain, dry month, lump in the throat, and rapid heart rate, etc. Therapy will be able to help you improve your mental state of mind and find different ways to cope better with your challenges calmly and more effectively.

Nicole Moss
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C.S.P.S.S
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying the weight of anxiety and fear on your own. My goal is to support you as I genuinely feel that everyone holds their own map to healing, however, many often need help navigating their path forward. Whether you’re also working on trauma recovery, healing from abuse, or working through the stages of grief, you don’t have to go through it alone. I am grateful to be that source of support for current and new clients. I help people create, enforce, and maintain boundaries that may have once felt impossible to implement, giving them space to feel safer, more empowered, and more connected to themselves and others. I work from an eclectic approach, believing there is no one-size-fits-all path to therapy. Together we can help you break free from limiting patterns and beliefs.

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.

Do anxiety and worry feel like they’re taking up too much space in your life? You may find yourself constantly overthinking, anticipating the worst, avoiding situations that feel overwhelming, or struggling to quiet your mind. Anxiety can affect your sleep, relationships, work, confidence, and ability to feel present in everyday life.
I specialize in anxiety therapy, supporting adults who are struggling with persistent worry, overthinking, panic, stress, fear, avoidance, or feeling constantly on edge. My goal is to help you better understand your anxiety or fears, identify the patterns and triggers that keep it going, and develop practical ways to manage difficult thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations.
I integrate traditional talk therapy with specialized neuroscience-informed and mind-body therapies. Depending on your needs and goals, therapy may incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Brainspotting, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), Somatic Experiencing, Ego State Therapy, Clinical Hypnosis, and other evidence-based approaches as well as traditional talk therapies. This allows us to look at anxiety from different perspectives and develop an approach that is tailored to you.
If anxiety has been interfering with your relationships, work, sleep, confidence, or enjoyment of everyday life, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Andrae Belle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to move forward with confidence and purpose despite uncertainty. Anxiety and fear can gradually limit our freedom, shape our decisions, and keep us from pursuing the relationships, responsibilities, and opportunities that matter most.
My approach goes beyond simply managing symptoms. Together, we explore the underlying beliefs, experiences, and patterns that contribute to anxiety, while developing practical strategies to build emotional resilience, greater self-awareness, and confidence in navigating life's uncertainties.

Hannah Bickle | Self, Relationships, Emotions
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Q)
Sometimes anxiety and fear can cloud our intuition, making it difficult to know what we truly want or need. You may find yourself overthinking decisions, anticipating worst-case scenarios, or feeling stuck between competing possibilities. While anxiety often develops as a way to protect us, it can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves.
In therapy, we can explore the underlying patterns that contribute to anxiety, develop a greater understanding of your emotional experience, and build tools to help you navigate life's challenges with more clarity and move through uncertainty with greater ease.
