Maor Bernshtein, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic. Sometimes it comes as restlessness, overthinking, or the feeling that you’re never doing enough. It can impact your work, your relationships, and your ability to be present and enjoy life, wearing you down over time. Our work takes anxiety seriously because beneath it there’s often more than worry. We'll start with strategies you can use right away, such as mindfulness practices, breath work, and grounding exercises that can calm your nervous system and bring awareness back to the present. Beyond symptom management, we’ll explore the deeper roots of your anxiety, including experiences or emotional burdens that may be feeding it. Visit pathwaytoself.ca to book a free 20-minute consultation and ask any questions you have.

Natalia Vyzhol
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Anxiety and fear often signal deeper emotional patterns and subconscious beliefs that deserve attention—not avoidance. My approach focuses on helping individuals understand and work through these layers with clarity, compassion, and practical tools.
Using an integrative blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and exposure techniques when appropriate, I support the process of:
• Developing self-awareness around anxiety triggers and emotional responses
• Building practical coping strategies to regulate nervous system activation
• Exploring the subconscious roots of fear and limiting beliefs
• Strengthening emotional resilience and inner confidence
• Creating space for choice, reflection, and empowered action
Whether navigating generalized anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, or social discomfort, this work is about reconnecting with your inner stability and learning to move through life with greater ease and self-trust.
Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that supports your growth—not just symptom relief—and helps you build a more grounded, responsive relationship with yourself and the world around you.

Cara Briscoe
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
While anxiety and stress in small amounts can be a helpful source of information, too much can become overwhelming and even interfere with our daily lives. Therapy can be a space to explore the impacts of anxiety and how it may have become engrained into your self-narrative. You and I can work together to co-create coping strategies that are unique to your specific situation. Contact me to book a free consultation so we can decide together if we would be a good fit.

Donald Hill
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Div., M.Th., RMFT, RP
Fear is a situational-based, positive emotion that prepares us for a sudden and unexpected external event. Since fear is such a common emotion, its presence can often go from being connected to a specific experience (a baby crying, a car horn blowing) to something omnipresent and an overwhelming sense of anxiousness. Anxiety can cause us to feel shame, guilt, and worry because we do not believe we can stand up to the concerns that have brought it into our lives. Psychotherapy is a safe place to explore the causes of shame, guilt, worry, and anxiety. If you are ready to unpack your worry bag, I am here to help. Book a free 15-minute consultation today.
