Retrain your unconscious mind. Overcome anxiety, defeat, and frustration. And feel like yourself again, for good.
If you’ve experienced anxiety, you know what it’s like to feel stuck in repeated patterns of thoughts and feelings. You know what it’s like to wish you could make a change, but feel completely powerless over your behaviours. You understand feeling stuck and feeling defeated. You wonder why you can’t simply move on. Why you can’t just let it go.
But although this feeling is incredibly frustrating, it’s also a completely human stress response. Your brain is under duress, so it reverts back to operating unconsciously. It relies on the default programming that’s been developing throughout your life. It’s the reason why, even when you want to change your behaviour, in your current state, you actually can’t. You naturally snap back into old routines and patterns. Because they are familiar, and they seem safe.
To get to the root of the problem and actually change your anxiety-inducing behaviours and thought patterns, you need to reprogram your unconscious mind. With a combination of hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and neurofeedback sessions, I can help you do just that.

Melinda Freitas
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RCC, CCS
Anxiety needs to be normalized in society. Nobody is "failing" because they are anxious. It's a sign that your own instincts / survival response is activated. I work with clients in creating a different relationship with their nervous system.

Aliya Amarshi
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD (Sociology)
Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a messenger. In therapy, we work to understand what your anxiety is trying to protect you from, using somatic calming strategies, IFS, and grounded presence to bring relief, insight, and new ways of relating to fear and uncertainty.

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.

Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Anxiety often develops as a protective response—our mind and body trying to keep us safe in ways that once made sense, even if they feel overwhelming or confusing now. Rather than seeing anxiety as something "wrong" that needs to be fixed, I help clients explore the emotional roots beneath it with curiosity and compassion. Through experiential therapies and memory reconsolidation, we can begin to uncover the unresolved emotional learnings and implicit beliefs that keep the nervous system on high alert. As those old patterns shift, many people find their anxiety softening—not because they’ve learned to "manage" it, but because their system no longer needs to sound the alarm.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed approach, anxiety is simply a manifestation of unresolved trauma and a lack of feeling safe, secure, and stable. The work we can do will be to better help you understand your anxiety, to learn ways to better cope with it, and process the trauma that creates it so you can feel more, safe, secure, and stable.
