Anxiety or Fears
Ivan Pityk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Work, projects, family and friends can all be rewarding and give our life meaning. We strive to do our best and make life meaningful, but this can sometimes make it difficult to manage your energy and stress level to do the things you find fulfilling. Anxiety and stress are important parts to motivate ourselves to achieve more. This makes it sometimes easy to minimize its impact on our quality of life. When this happens, we may find things we enjoyed before to have less meaning and things like selfcare become a chore. Living at this pace can quickly lead to burnout and depression.
Recognizing anxiety and burnout in ourselves and others can be difficult, especially when we feel like pushing through is the best way to overcome these feelings. Even though our anxiety encourages us to push through, it exacerbates the exhaustion we are already feeling. You are not alone in this and seeking help can improve stress management, work life balance, and reduce feelings of overwhelm.
Anxiety and fear act as important processes for motivating us to do better and make sure we perform well or account for future problems. However, like many things in life its often hard to balance, sometime becoming over focused on anxiety itself. I can help explore these processes and find way of managing anxiety and anxious thoughts by incorporating CBT and DBT skills.

Catherine Dwyer
Registered Social Worker, MSW RSW
Being a human being is hard especially when we don’t quite understand how our nervous system operates, how we’re hardwired and why we think, feel, and act the ways we do. Anxiety and fear can show up in our lives in so many ways that just keep us stuck and get in our way of leading our best life. My goal is help you better understand your own inner workings, cultivate some psychological flexibility, and enhance your ability to take committed actions towards building a more balanced, manageable, meaningful life.

Matt Temple
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P., C.C.C.
I believe that anxiety is unavoidable. It is a part of being human. However, we can develop a deeper understanding and acceptance of it and learn to listen to it so that it can help us move in new directions. Further, there are times when we are able to develop tools to manage it when it takes up more space than is helpful. Most importantly, we can open ourselves to experiencing it differently.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
In working with clients on their anxiety and stress I primarily aim to promote understanding: understanding of why we are feeling so anxious and stressed, what factors contribute, what can be done to better manage or eliminate anxiety and stress from our lives, and most importantly, how to eliminate ambiguity from our lives. I specialize in working with clients on their stress and anxiety, whether it stems from work, relationships, family, trauma, lifestyle, or beliefs. It is only through understanding that we can promote comprehensive and meaningful change in our lives. I utilize principles of cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused work, and psychodynamics in my work.

It is common for most people to experience moments or periods of fear and anxiety, especially in today's fast paced , uncertain and rapidly changing world. More specifically, anxiety may manifest in response to trauma, PTSD, or critical life events which are perceived as a threat to an individuals sense of safety, security and survival.

Zanna Seipp-Katz
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Anxiety and fear is so prevalent in our society today. My strength is narrowing down what the root of the issue may be and to create achievable goals in which to conquer or manage these issues. Incorporating DBT skills when necessary has been very beneficial for many who are challenged with anxiety and fear.

Beyond Talk Psychotherapy
Licensed Psychoanalyst, RP, CAT, CCC, ATPQ, ACNN
Anxiety and Fears are emotions characterized by thoughts, feelings and physical changes. Externalizing the anxiety or fears can help separate yourself from the problem. This will give you the opportunity to look at anxiety or fear on its own and understand how it is impacting your lived experience. Anxiety or fears are only part of your narrative. By exploring your self-narrative we will be able to begin the process of reframing your stories to develop a more positive and beneficial narrative. Anxiety or Fears could be explored by either talking or creating artworks.

Leigh Berry
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, RHN
Helping women to hold space for the discomfort that feeling anxiety and fear brings. With anxiety often comes feelings of overwhelm, a sense of paralysis- not knowing how to move forward or make decisions, difficulty focusing or completing tasks, brain fog, trouble sleeping, as well as digestive issues. Together, we will work to uncover the root causes behind your thoughts, feelings and symptoms to provide you with concrete, practical tools you can use to support overwhelming emotions. From working together you can develop awareness and insight into thought and behaviour patterns, while learning to relate more amicably to the emotions gripping and pushing you around. When we do this, we can focus more on what matters in our life.

Morgan Mackenzie
Registered Social Worker, RSW
In my practice, I specialize in providing support and guidance to individuals struggling with anxiety and fears. Anxiety can manifest in various forms, from generalized anxiety to specific phobias, and it often interferes with daily functioning and overall well-being. Through a compassionate and collaborative approach, I work with clients to explore the root causes of their anxiety, identify negative thought patterns, and develop effective coping strategies. My therapeutic interventions incorporate evidence-based techniques, mindfulness practices, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to empower clients in managing their anxious thoughts and behaviors. Whether it's navigating social anxiety, overcoming specific fears, or addressing the challenges of daily stressors, I am dedicated to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore and overcome their anxiety, fostering a sense of resilience and empowerment in their lives.
