Anxiety
Whiteboard Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
The most common form of anxiety which we treat at our clinic is a generalized variety which affects all areas of a client’s life and emotional health. Other varieties we support include individuals suffering from PTSD, OCD, panic disorders and a wide range of phobias. Untreated anxiety and fears have the potential to reoccur, so we encourage clients to seek therapy to begin their healing journey when symptoms first arise.

Meredith Bailey - Redefining Relationships
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, MACP, RP
Anxiety is an area of my practice focus, rather than a specialist designation. Together, we can explore worry, uncertainty, and patterns that leave you feeling on edge, and work toward ways of responding that fit your life.

Is anxiety taking up more space in your life than you’d like?
Perhaps you find yourself caught in a constant cycle of worry, doubt, overthinking, or fear. You may be rehashing past experiences, anticipating what could go wrong, or feeling unable to quiet the critical dialogue in your mind. Anxiety can also show up physically through panic, irritability, exhaustion, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed.
Sometimes anxiety isn’t simply about what is happening in the present. Past experiences can continue to influence how your brain and body respond to situations that feel threatening, even when you know you are safe.
As an EMDRIA-certified therapist, I use EMDR therapy to help clients process distressing or overwhelming experiences that may be contributing to anxiety, fears, panic, or emotional reactivity. EMDR can reduce the intensity of difficult memories and the emotional or physical responses connected to them, helping you respond to the present with greater flexibility.
We’ll work together to understand your anxiety, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical ways to relate differently to difficult thoughts, emotions, and sensations. I also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based approaches to support greater self-compassion and emotional flexibility.
The goal isn’t to eliminate every worry or uncomfortable feeling. It’s to help you feel less controlled by them—so anxiety takes up less space and you have more freedom to engage in the relationships, activities, and experiences that matter to you.

Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Worry and nerves are normal feelings to experience, however when worry and nerves start to affect daily routines for extended periods, anxiety becomes problematic. People struggling with anxiety disorders especially fear the worst as it relates to employment, health, finances, and/or relationships. This fear is persistent despite the reality of the situation.

Victoria Jacobs
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P.
Anxiety is not a failure; it is your body trying to protect you. Together we notice how worry shows up in your thoughts, feelings, and habits, then build skills to respond on purpose. We use CBT to challenge unhelpful beliefs, emotion focused work to name and move through feelings, and simple body practices to settle the nervous system. When it fits, we can explore the roots of anxiety through an attachment based EFT lens and support deeper healing with IFS. Clinical hypnotherapy is also available for fears and phobias. We always go at your pace.

Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
I work with anxiety and fear by exploring their deeper emotional and relational roots. Rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, I help clients uncover the unconscious conflicts, defenses, and early experiences that may be fueling their distress. Through a supportive and reflective process, we make meaning of these feelings, allowing for greater self-understanding, emotional regulation, and inner freedom.

Aleksei Panov
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Psy, MS Psy, RP
For dealing with anxiety, first of all, I help my clients to manage their physical symptoms of anxiety and then they are able to take control of their bodies, secondly we try to identify automatic negative thoughts and learn how to deal with them and challenge them. It is okay to have anxiety, but you need to learn how to deal with it faster.

Kate Paul
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Low levels of anxiety can motivate us to accomplish goals and perform at our best. As the level of experienced anxiety creeps higher, it robs us of our joy and can make us feel overwhelmed resulting in either inactivity or a compulsion to be overactive yet not experiencing any lasting relief. Our sense of internal peace and calm is replaced by perpetual overthinking and fear. Let's work together to gain insight into the cause of your anxiety so that we are able to empower you to reclaim your experience of joy and a sense of internal calm.

Andrae Belle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to move forward with confidence and purpose despite uncertainty. Anxiety and fear can gradually limit our freedom, shape our decisions, and keep us from pursuing the relationships, responsibilities, and opportunities that matter most.
My approach goes beyond simply managing symptoms. Together, we explore the underlying beliefs, experiences, and patterns that contribute to anxiety, while developing practical strategies to build emotional resilience, greater self-awareness, and confidence in navigating life's uncertainties.

My passion is helping people from various walks of life who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed and irritable. You may be experiencing relational difficulties/ frustrations or feeling triggered by important others in your life. Do you cope by shutting down or avoiding? Are you ready to get to the bottom of things? If you are interested in self-exploration, coping better and managing anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem or burnout, then I can help.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you constantly feel on edge or overwhelmed? Many of us grow up learning to push down our thoughts and feelings. We may have been told our anger is unacceptable, sadness is a weakness, or vulnerability should be avoided. However, these emotions are natural and valuable to personal growth and self-understanding. It is what we do with these feelings when they show up that makes all the difference. Together, we can process your experiences with the intention, so you can be more in control and feel lighter. You feel things deeply for a reason, let’s explore why and what now.
