Anxiety therapists in Pickering, Ontario ON, Canada CA

We all experience a little anxiety from time to time, however too much anxiety can debilitate us, preventing us from trying and experiencing new experiences, holding us back from pursuing our goals and dreams, and from living our best lives. However, with the right tools and support, anxiety can be controlled and managed, allowing for a life of purpose, success, and satisfaction.  

Anxiety and fears are part of life but if the symptoms start to take over our daily routine then you need to seek support. I can help you manage these stressors by providing the best tools and become your own therapist in the long run.  

I specialize in addressing anxiety and fears through a comprehensive, personalized approach. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where individuals can navigate and overcome their anxieties. Using evidence-based techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices, I guide my clients toward understanding the root causes of their fears and equip them with practical tools to manage and alleviate their anxiety. My experience offers a safe space for exploration, empowerment, and growth, fostering a journey towards emotional resilience and a renewed sense of confidence.  

Anxiety and worry is often the underlying factor in much of our suffering. It is understandable that we want to make our world predictable and protect ourselves from harm. I work with anxious parts of clients in order to understand and appreciate the function they have seen serving. Since many things in life are often outside of our control, I help clients build more trust within themsleves and their own inner resources, so that worry can stop being the central coping mechanism and their anxious parts can feel more at ease.  

We all experience anxiety in various ways. As a therapist, I will work with you to figure out how anxiety is affecting your life. Together, we will develop and implement coping strategies and tools to reduce anxiety in order to live your best life.  

Behaviour therapies can help to face anxiety, understand it and become more comfortable so that the fear subsides.  

I provide psychoeducation about the mechanics of anxiety, and create a treatment plan with the client to enable a better quality of life.  

Anxiety and fear manifests itself in many different ways. Maybe you have racing and intrusive thoughts, maybe you have tightness in your chest or difficulty breathing. Whatever your symptoms, we will work together to create a plan that leaves you empowered and rising above the anxiety/fear.  

Do you experience anxiety, panic, or ruminative thoughts? Are you coping with your fears in unhealthy or unhelpful ways? I understand talking about your distressing thoughts and feelings can be difficult and I am here to help you, without judgment. You are not alone and there is support available. Together we can explore your anxiety triggers and create a treatment plan that works for you. You are welcome to book an appointment to get started. I am accepting new clients without a waitlist and offer free consultations.  

Anxiety is our mind and body's way of keeping us safe; however it doesn't always come up when it's needed and can become disproportionate to our reality. This is when therapy comes into play. Seeking support for your anxiety will allow you to understand and have appreciation for the fears and worries, while also becoming confident in your ability to cope with it and continue living your life. When working on anxiety, you can expect to explore reframing thoughts, exposure activities, and an exploration of the feeling itself. Contact me for a discovery call! https://youfirst.janeapp.com/
