Megan Hanrahan
Psychologist, M.C., Registered Psychologist
Anxiety can show up in lots of different ways. Whether you find yourself constantly overthinking or feeling excessive discomfort in social situations, it can have a huge effect on your ability to function on a daily basis. Sometimes anxiety gets so big that we avoid situations that cause us anxiety all together. In our work together, we’ll explore how to identify how anxiety shows up for you, what it tries to tell you, and how to tackle it head-on.

Kevin Ruddell
Psychologist, M.A., R. Psych
Anxiety is typically an adaptive response to perceived threats in the environment. However, when the anxiety starts to negatively impact our life it can become debilitating. By adjusting our perspectives of the perceived threats we can often return our anxiety back to levels that may promote action rather than shut it down.

Amy Sheffield
Psychologist, Mc(Psych), Registered Psychologist
Anxiety can sometimes get in the way of us living our best life. It can even become so overwhelming it impairs our ability to perform the most basic and mundane tasks. Or make us feel chronically uncomfortable in social situations or maybe even in our own skin. So how do we prevent anxiety from consuming us or preventing us from being our best self? The answer will be dependent on the person. However, it is often a combination of newly implemented coping skills, behavioural changes, mind/body techniques, cognitive strategies and trauma interventions that makes distressing anxiety symptoms manageable again so you can be the best version of you. I work collaboratively with clients from a CBT, DBT, EMDR or ART framework to determine which interventions will bring you the quickest relief possible from such symptoms of anxiety.

Josh Dempsey, Empowered Life Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Our Fears and Anxieties are normally rooted early in life, as protective measures. As we grow and mature, we learn to adapt to many external aspects of daily life. All to often we forget about the internal and what is no longer serving us as a protector, but rather as an inhibitor. Our sessions will look to build their confidence, self-awareness, and their ability to enrich the relationships within their lives.

Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, RPC, MPCC
We can experience anxiety in a variety of different ways - we may suffer from panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, unrelenting worries, or phobias. Therapy can help to alleviate anxiety in different ways by understanding what lies beneath it and adjusting our behavioural responses to it accordingly. Anxiety is a very common mental health disorder and affects many, many people. Talking therapy can help us to learn different strategies to manage our anxiety and move away from feeling helpless or hopeless.

Daniel Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147)
Feeling afraid and anxious can be overwhelming and consuming. It's like being in a constant state of alertness, with your mind racing and your body on edge, anticipating danger or harm. Physically, you might experience a racing heart, sweating, trembling, or shortness of breath. Mentally, you may feel a sense of dread, worry or unease, tightness in the chest, and unable to shake off the feeling of impending danger. It can be exhausting, affecting your ability to concentrate, sleep, or enjoy things you once loved. Fear and anxiety can also lead to avoidance behaviors, as you try to steer clear of anything that triggers those feelings. Being distressed like this can impact every aspect of your life, with seemingly no end in sight. Daniel suffered through 7 nervous breakdowns between the ages of 18 to 23 - over 35 years ago giving him deep personal experience with anxiety and fear. So, Daniel understands. Access him to help you turn the tables on this insidious enemy.

Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist
Anxiety is often our bodies' way of protecting us. Although this can be effective in many ways it can also get in our way of living our most authentic life. Those experiencing anxiety often report feeling a loss of connection, low self-esteem, being too fearful to engage in new experiences and being held back from developing their ideal self.
In our work together you can expect to learn a variety of skills to help navigate and calm anxiety as it arises. Additionally we will develop understanding of how anxiety has become a road block in your life.

Through the process of guiding clients into a relaxed state, I help them access their subconscious mind, where the roots of their anxieties and fears reside. By using guided visualization and positive suggestion, I facilitate the rewiring of their thought patterns, replacing negative beliefs with empowering ones. Witnessing this transformation is awe-inspiring, as clients gain newfound calmness and resilience, enabling them to respond to challenges with confidence. It brings me immense joy to witness my clients break free from the grip of anxiety and fears, embracing a more empowered and fulfilling life. Hypnotherapy truly offers a transformative and lasting solution for those seeking relief and growth.

Laura Hall
Psychologist, MC, Registered Provisional Psychologist
Anxiety is something that is necessary in life as it protects us and keeps us safe. However, there are times when anxiety can over power our natural response to cope and we become fearful of certain situations or people. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to address both anxious thoughts and emotions are main modalities that I use to help overcome this life stressor.

Chris Graham
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist
While anxiety can help to keep us safe, it can hold us back from living the fulfilling lives that we deserve. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can offer the perfect setting in which to learn new ways of being - where anxiety can begin to lose the power it holds over us.
