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.

Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
The current global, social, political, biological context presents a variety of circumstances which continue to impact people in different ways. Each person experiences stress differently, and for different reasons. Together in therapy, we will map out common stressors in your life, explore strengths and challenges, address and strategize ways to meet challenges and access resources (community, personal, social, career, interpersonal) to meet your preferred way of living.

Catherine Dwyer
Registered Social Worker, MSW RSW
Are you feeling overwhelmed with stress, chronically exhausted and on the verge of burnout? Do you feel like you’re stuck in fight/flight or shutdown mode? Are you experiencing anger, anxiety, depression and/or relying too much on alcohol or other substances to cope? Are you struggling with centering your own needs and desires, or maintaining balance in your life? Are you a helping professional or caregiver? Working or volunteering within the helping professions or being a caregiver is tough and it takes a toll on us. I work with helpers and caregivers treating stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, addiction, empathic strain/compassion fatigue, trauma exposure and secondary traumatic stress. Together we will figure out a path back towards balance and wellbeing so that you can continue to be the caring, loving person you are without sacrificing yourself in the process.

Matt Temple
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P., C.C.C.
Stress is a natural part of life, however, it can be difficult to manage and at times becomes overwhelming. I believe it is important to learn how to navigate stress as it often comes from things that are important to us. In order to this, we need to understand why the source of stress is important to us, but also to learn to create and maintain boundaries and to care for ourselves.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Stress is one of the most important topics to explore and understand comprehensively; it is what creates and causes so many of the other problems we have. If you are reading this blurb about stress, I am sure you are also dealing with problematic behaviours such as anxiety, reactivity, fatigue, depression, anger issues, isolation, and/or sleep disruption, just to name a few. Stress can come from our relationships, work, school, family, etc., and it can be better understood and managed to reduce the negative impact it can have on our lives. When I work with my clients on stress, which I do with every client, we focus in on why the stress is so impactful for the individual, and what tools or protocols can be used to remedy the issue.

Ryta Marie Peschka
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
While many causes of stress may be out of your control, working with a stress therapist can help you examine the sources and impact of stress in your life. By becoming aware of the social and internal expectations we place on ourselves, we can develop a self compassionate approach as we navigate life’s natural stressors.

Leigh Berry
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, RHN
Stress has become so normalized and expected in our day to day that we believe we should be able to handle it and more! So we keep going! If you are living in present day, chances are you are stressed out. Whether you are overwhelmed from having too much on your plate, have a busy schedule juggling multiple demands from work to family life and find there is just no time for you, or there is a particular experience or situation causing you stress that you need help navigating, the impact of stress is tough and burnout is real. You are tired, mentally and physically and you are in need of a different way. 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 stress. Develop insight into thought and behaviour patterns, while learning to relate more amicably to your feelings (including stress) that grip and push you around. When we do this, we can focus more easily on what matters and how we would like to coexist with the demands from our external world.
