Hira Imam
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, RP, RCC, CCC
I work with individuals who experience worrying thoughts related to themselves, their relationships or their health. These thoughts create a lot of stress and it feels like you're on edge all the time. It's hard to enjoy downtime and sometimes difficult to socialize with others. You constantly feel like you should be doing something and feel guilty or worried when you aren't. I support clients in reducing their experience of distress and support them in living their day-to-day in a way that works for them. *Free 15 min Consultation Phone Call*

Dena Marie Counselling & EMDR Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MEd, RCC
Racing thoughts that won't switch off, a tight chest, a constant sense of dread or worst-case thinking — anxiety can take over your body as much as your mind. Using EMDR, I help you gently process the experiences and memories fueling that ongoing worry or panic, so your brain can reframe and release the intensity behind it — rather than just managing the symptoms. Over time, this helps you feel calmer, more grounded, and better able to face daily life with confidence and ease.

Natalie V. Bochenska
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCAT, Certified Somatic Practitioner
Anxiety can leave you feeling constantly on edge, overthinking situations, or anticipating that something will go wrong. Through somatic psychotherapy, we explore how anxiety shows up in your body, emotions, and relationships while developing a greater sense of safety and regulation. My approach helps you understand the roots of your fears rather than simply managing the symptoms.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
Anxiety often shows up not only in thoughts, but in the body - through tension, overwhelm, restlessness, overthinking, emotional eating, difficulty slowing down, or feeling constantly “on alert.” My approach combines clinical hypnotherapy, nervous system regulation, and behaviour change support to help clients create greater calm, safety, and emotional balance in a gentle, sustainable way.

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.

Dave Vass
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
Anxiety and fear can derail us from the lives we want to have and keep us stuck in holding patterns. I help clients not only manage their anxiety better, but uncover the 'why' towards chronic conditions that may be signals from the unconscious towards unmet wants and needs. Incorporating a neuroscience-based perspective that includes experiential focus on the mind-body connection, we can charter a path to more freedom in your dialy life.

Anxiety and fear can affect how we move through the world, shaping our relationships, choices, and sense of safety. My work focuses on trauma processing and nervous system regulation to help reduce the distressing symptoms. I draw on EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and somatic approaches to work with anxiety, phobias, fear-based trauma, and related symptoms.

Theodosia Daflos
Counsellor/Therapist, MA
Everyone experiences anxiety. It can actually be quite helpful, motivating us to do things that are important to us, or letting us know of potential danger. Anxiety becomes problematic when we're afraid of things that aren't actually dangerous, or when our anxiety stops us from doing things that are important to us. The good news is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for anxiety disorders are among the most successful treatments we have in psychology. They work by teaching you how to accurately evaluate your anxiety triggers to tell if your anxiety reaction is justified or not. If your anxiety reaction doesn't match the threat, you learn skills to help you act more effectively, and manage your emotional reaction in the moment.

Kristen Bailey Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Masters of Arts Counselling Psychology
I have worked extensively with anxiety and have had my own struggles with it. I have found that it is not about making the anxiety go away, but more in learning how to relate to it differently and be able to tolerate it. Anxieties can also just continue to switch form and we end up playing whack a mole, so it is important to get to what the core fear is that is driving it.

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.
