Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness |
Counsellor/Therapist, Integrative Holistic Coach and Practitioner | Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner |
Anxiety isn't always something we can reason ourselves out of. Sometimes the mind knows everything is ok while the body and nervous system are still sounding the alarm. Together, we'll become curious about what your anxiety may be communicating and explore the patterns, experiences, sensations, and beliefs underneath it. Using a holistic and somatic approach, I support you in developing greater regulation, understanding, resilience, and trust in yourself-not simply managing the anxiety, but changing your relationship with what is happening within you.

Daniel Keith McMath
Counsellor/Therapist, | Coach | PCC, MPCC
Most people with anxiety aren't simply afraid. They've become exceptionally good at trying to prevent what they fear from ever happening. They think ahead, replay conversations, prepare for every possibility, and carry a pressure that few people ever see. The question isn't simply how to make the anxiety disappear. It's what that anxiety has been trying to protect all along. Together we'll gently explore what's shaping your experience so you can move from constant vigilance toward greater calm, clarity, and self-trust.

Inspiring Change Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC)
Anxiety has a way of making the world feel smaller — shrinking what you're willing to try, where you're willing to go, and how freely you can just be yourself. If worry, fear, or nervous anticipation are running the show, therapy can help you understand what's fueling it and start to loosen its grip. Together, we'll work on shifting the patterns that keep anxiety in the driver's seat so you can move through your days with more steadiness and less dread.

Darren Williamson
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC (#23397)
The modern world tells us that it is bad to feel fearful or anxious. "Be happy" is the message we have been given from childhood through school, through our family, through TV and social media, as if happiness is the default and all other emotions are dysfunctional. This is not true. Happiness is important, but living life with only happiness is like eating a diet of only sugar, or listening to a song that is only bass. We need the lows to give meaning to the highs.
Through therapy, I will help you better understand your fear and anxiety without shaming or stigmatizing it. Once we understand the role your fear and anxiety plays in your life, we will find ways to make it work for you. And once you are able to accept your emotions without needing to avoid them, your happiness will feel more meaningful.
"Happiness cannot be pursued, it can only ensue. One must have a reason to be happy... Doing so would be the same as urging people posed in front of a camera to say “cheese,” only to find that in the finished photographs their faces are frozen in artificial smiles." Victor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

Reema Qamar
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CCC
Anxiety can be debilitating and disruptive leaving an individual feeling confused, vulnerable, and frustrated. Although experiencing a certain level anxiety is natural and an adaptive response in our nervous system to keep us safe, it becomes maladaptive when in overdrive. Understanding the neurobiology behind anxiety and the events that trigger it is critical to treatment. Therapy includes a deep exploration of how anxiety developed, how it is keeping you safe, and coping strategies that may be useful to manage high levels of anxiety. Psychoeducation on the neurobiology behind the stress response provides a deep understanding of how stress impacts the nervous system. In our sessions, I will support you in exploring your thoughts, emotions such as fear, sadness, and anger as well as triggers that lead to heightened levels of anxiety. Exploring earlier experiences and trauma that may have led to the development of negative beliefs and may be fueling negative automatic thoughts can help determine the root cause of anxiety to break dysfunctional thinking patterns. When dealing with anxiety, improving one’s self-concept and self efficacy can be an empowering and liberating process.

Tracey MacKenzie
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CCC #7392
Anxiety can be crippling. It can keep you from enjoying social situations, excelling at work or school, or keeping you in a constant state of fear. You don't have to go through life scared of living. Yes, the unknown can be scary so let's talk about when that started, if it's really true (fun fact: not all thoughts are true!), other ways of looking at the situation, learning new skills, and trying new ways of being. We can develop a new you!

Abbotsford is a Fraser Valley city bordering Washington state with a character shaped by its strong Mennonite and evangelical Christian heritage, a large Punjabi Sikh community that has made it home to one of Canada's most prominent South Asian populations outside the Vancouver core, and a rapidly growing suburban economy that has attracted families priced out of Metro Vancouver. University of the Fraser Valley offers psychology and counselling programs that contribute to the local mental health workforce, and Fraser Health provides public mental health services to the region. Mental health stigma has historically been significant in some of Abbotsford's religious and cultural communities, and faith-integrated therapy and culturally competent care—particularly for South Asian clients—are important considerations in the local landscape. Common therapy concerns include intergenerational family conflict, cultural identity, anxiety, economic stress, and the adjustment challenges of a community navigating the tension between traditional roots and rapid modern growth.
