Stress
Rachael Burnett
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
Chronic stress can quietly drain your energy, leaving you feeling exhausted and disconnected from your confidence. My approach as a therapist is grounded in helping you reconnect with your innate strengths and capability. In our work together, therapy is a safe space to share what you're holding, without ever feeling like a burden, and to build a deeper sense of self-compassion along the way.

Stress
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.

Kai DeMaeyer - Talk with Kai - Intimacy and Identity
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
Everyone has stress, which means it can be easy to dismiss what's actually happening when it becomes chronic. I work with clients who are running on empty, carrying too much, and finding that the usual strategies have stopped working. Often stress is a signal worth listening to rather than just managing down, and that's where we tend to start.

Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
When chronic stress takes the steering wheel, your mind and body can feel locked in a constant state of emergency, leaving you running on fumes, irritable, and physically exhausted. Whether your stress stems from work pressures, caregiving, major life changes, or simply the relentless pace of daily demands, it takes a heavy toll on your well-being. You do not have to carry that constant pressure in isolation. Using a collaborative, evidence-based cognitive behavioural approach, we will work together to identify your unique stress triggers, learn how to regulate your nervous system's alarm response, and build practical, sustainable strategies to help you catch your breath and restore balance to your life.

Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
Art therapy is a powerful tool for managing stress, offering a creative way to express and process overwhelming emotions. Through the act of making art, you can externalize stress, quiet the mind, and tap into a sense of calm and clarity. The creative process helps you reconnect with the present moment, fostering mindfulness and emotional regulation. It also allows you to uncover and transform underlying thought patterns or beliefs contributing to stress, helping you gain new perspectives and cultivate resilience. This process supports your ability to cope with life’s challenges in a balanced and grounded way.

Ryan Bittinger
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), DPsychotherapy, LPCC, CAS
Stress can rob us of all our usual skills and abilities to deal with life. We are often left feeling depleted, like our battery never charges past 30%. Working through the impact of stress and how to take care of ourselves can create revolutionary new ways to understand our needs and expectations of ourselves. We can, ultimately, find ourselves in a much better position to cope with stress and lead a life that we don't have to escape from.

Stress Management
Who does not have any stress to deal with in their lives? Yet not many people actually have a plan to combat this? I have offered many stress management workshops along with personal tools during individualized sessions. These include stress management techniques which are body focused. What each individual requires to relieve their stress is very individual. So to answer this we must reach deep inside ourselves to discover what provides us with the source of comfort and strength which we all need to develop and rely on at some point.

Maria Yaglovski
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)
Stress can take a toll on your mental health and trigger anxiety. In people who have an anxiety disorder, stress can make it more challenging to manage the symptoms of anxiety. Increases in this hormone are related to anxiety. Stress management is necessary when working through challenging times. I help clients identify triggers and together we work through mindfulness techniques to help you live a more balanced and stress-free living.

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.

Stress is a common experience in a society of busy lifestyles. It can show up in our minds (thoughts) or bodies (constant tiredness, exhaustion). By using somatic based strategies I help clients to understand the origins of stress and how it impacts our minds and physical bodies. Taking the first step to reaching out can be difficult so I want to thank you for taking this step and beginning this journey towards healing. I hope to support you and make this process as comfortable as I can. Don't hesitate to contact me for a free consultation

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.
