Malika Chandra
Registered Psychotherapist, MPS, RP (Qualifying)
Anxiety prevents you from being present and puts you in a position where you are either ruminating about the past or worrying about the future. In the moment, it can feel impossible to get out of it, and one cannot simply snap out of it. Similarly, stress can permeate multiple aspects of your life. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as mindfulness exercises to help you manage your anxiety. Eventually, we would also work together to understand why the anxiety shows up and how we can address the original source. Reach out today to book a free consultation.

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.

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.

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.

Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
Anxiety is often the mind doing its best to keep you safe, even when it's gotten a bit too good at the job. I work with people who are exhausted from overthinking, avoiding, or holding everything together on the outside while bracing for impact on the inside.

Delphine Amer
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., Registered Psychotherapist
Everyone worries at times, however, if these thoughts and feelings are relentless and it is difficult to turn off racing thoughts and constantly feeling on edge, you might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety. I provide powerful psychotherapy tools to help you challenge intrusive, scary thoughts and overwhelming feelings of panic and unease. Feelings anxious and experiencing fear is so limiting and makes life extremely difficult. Together, we will explore the roots of your anxiety; identifying core beliefs, rules and assumptions, automatic thoughts and adverse childhood events which can result in anxiety symptoms. I provide significant psychoeducation on proven clinical methods for managing anxiety. I have extensive training in the management of OCD symptoms (obsessions and the resulting compulsions) and utilize ERP (exposure response prevention) to manage OCD. For specific fears and phobia's, social anxiety, agoraphobia and generalized anxiety, I utilize typical CBT strategies (building an avoidance hierarchy, attempting steps on hierarchy, teaching about cognitive distortions, recognizing triggers, teaching relaxation and grounding techniques). Take this journey with me; I can provide you with tools to enable you to feel relaxed, to equip you to begin to enjoy life and to help you live the life you deserve.

Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
Art therapy provides a safe and creative way to explore and process anxiety and fears without relying solely on words. Through the art-making process, you can externalize overwhelming emotions, gain insight into underlying patterns, and develop a sense of control and calm. Using symbols, colors, and textures, you can express what feels difficult to articulate, allowing for a deeper connection to your emotions in a nonjudgmental space. My approach integrates mindfulness and body-based techniques to help ground you in the present moment, fostering self-awareness, resilience, and a greater sense of inner balance.
