Tej Neringer, Pivotal Counseling
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it becomes persistent, overwhelming, and interferes with daily life, it can develop into an anxiety disorder. My approach to working with Anxiety is twofold. First, learning coping strategies and ways to cope with anxiety in the moment so that you are better able to stay grounded and continue with life, even when anxiety is present. Second, we identify, explore and challenge any thoughts, beliefs or behaviours that are contributing to the on-going anxiety, with the goal of understanding the root cause of the anxiety and adjusting thought patterns to reduce or eliminate anxiety moving forward.

LifeCycle Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, MPE, RP
What is anxiety? Anxiety is characterized by persistent and excessive worry about one or multiple things. For example, one may have an excessive amount of worry in several aspects of life (finances, career, health, responsibilities, parenting, family, household chores, etc). These worries can be major or minor concerns. Anxiety responses can be in the form of emotional or physical reactions. In small doses, anxiety can be helpful, especially when it helps protect us from danger. However, when anxiety becomes severe or happens frequently, it can become debilitating and can take over your life.
Psychotherapy can learn to reduce stressors and improve coping skills. There is evidence to suggest that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be successful in helping with anxiety, as during CBT, unhealthy thinking patterns that create anxiety are identified and challenged. Two other form of therapeutic treatment that may be recommended for anxiety are Relaxation Skills and Exposure Therapy.
Book an appointment today! Anxiety can grow and enable avoidance behaviors that can create harmful behavioral cycles and worsen anxiety. It is important to seek help from a mental health professional in order to alleviate your symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety is just one of the areas that LifeCycle Counselling specializes in.

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.

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.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
Are you feeling overwhelmed by worries, doubts, or fears? Do you feel like you are running on empty and cannot quiet the constant dialogue in your mind—rehashing or replaying harsh judgments, strict rules, or past events? Perhaps you’re experiencing burnout, emotional irritability, or frequent, unexplained crying.
If so, you’ve found your community!
I support individuals who, like you and many Canadians, struggle with anxiety and unexplained panic. When stress goes unchecked, or attempts to manage it become rigid, pleasurable activities and social connections become limited, leaving you feeling isolated and alone.
Together, we will work to compassionately transform your relationship with anxiety—understanding how it triggers you and how you typically respond. We will strive to develop a mindful and flexible approach to difficult thoughts, feelings, and emotions so they have less impact on your life. My goal is to empower you to let go of the struggle against yourself and to begin finding true freedom and fulfillment.

Meaningfully Connected Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP or RP (Qualifying)
Do you feel that you spend a lot of your time thinking about the future or the past? Does it feel like you hardly live in the moment? Are the wheels of your mind constantly turning without really getting anywhere? Are you on edge? Is it hard to remember things, or do you often find you tune out? Are you indecisive? Is there a sense of feeling drained and over extended? Are you afraid of conflict, or do you feel compelled to achieve or people please in order to feel a sense of self-worth and safety?
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.
We prioritize rapport-building and using a compassionate approach so that you feel safe as you explore the experiences and feelings that are coming up for you today. You are not your difficulties and so it is just as important for us to explore your goals, strengths and story as we tackle the challenges that you are facing. If you are looking for a compassionate therapist who cares not only about your difficulties, but also about how they developed and impact you, who is culturally sensitive and aware, and who will support your self-discovery, we would be honoured to be a part of your journey. Contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation by phone where we can answer your questions. You deserve a meaningful and peaceful life.
We use an ecclectic approach, drawing on numerous approaches including Emotion-focused, Cognitive Behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, Family Systems, Polyvagal theory, Solution-Focused and EMDR to tailor therapy to you.

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.

Hiba Khatkhat @ Under The Oaks Self Care Center
Registered Psychotherapist, MA CMHC, RP
Anxiety and Fear can have many causes. You can explore this, find the root cause, and treat that. Fear-based thinking can come in many forms and can affect you in a variety of ways: feeling confident, trusting yourself, worrying, anticipating, feeling socially awkward and anxious. Fear can also happen in the form of phobias that develop over time. Phobias' role is to help you manage behaviourally what's going on for you emotionally. The problem is, it leads to unwanted outcomes.

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.

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.

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.

Oakville is one of the most affluent municipalities in Canada — a well-established Toronto suburb with a high median household income, well-funded schools, and a therapy culture that reflects the stresses of high-achieving, upper-middle-class suburban family life. The city's concentration of executives, professionals, and their families creates demand for therapists working with relationship complexity, parenting under pressure, and the psychological costs of maintaining prosperity and family cohesion. Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community. Oakville's growing diversity — with expanding South Asian and East Asian communities in its newer residential subdivisions — is gradually broadening the range of cultural frameworks therapists need to engage with.
