Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Social Workers and Psychotherapists
Anxiety is more than just an occasional worry; it's a persistent state that can seep into every aspect of life, from personal relationships to professional endeavors. At Collaborative Care Therapy, we understand the complex nature of anxiety and recognize that it manifests differently for everyone. Our approach to treating anxiety—whether it's generalized anxiety, social anxiety, specific phobias, or panic attacks—is integrative, relational, and trauma-informed.
In our therapy sessions, we adopt a compassionate and non-judgmental stance, focusing on understanding your unique experience of anxiety. We delve into the root causes, exploring past traumas, present stressors, and deep-seated fears. Our integrative approach combines various therapeutic techniques. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is utilized to challenge and reframe negative thought patterns, while mindfulness practices are integrated to promote a sense of calm and present-moment awareness. Emotion-focused therapy helps in addressing and regulating intense emotional experiences.
Being trauma-informed, we are acutely aware of how past experiences can shape and influence current anxiety. We create a safe, empathetic space for you to explore these aspects of your history, understanding how they contribute to your present state.
The goal at Collaborative Care Therapy is to go beyond mere symptom relief. We aim to equip you with enduring strategies to manage anxiety effectively. This involves working collaboratively to develop personalized coping mechanisms, enhance emotional resilience, and improve your overall sense of well-being. Our virtual therapy sessions offer you the flexibility and convenience of receiving support in your own space, making therapeutic help accessible and consistent.
Embark on your journey with Collaborative Care Therapy to break free from the constraints of anxiety and pave the way for a more relaxed, confident, and fulfilling life.

Kurt Zubatiuk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Registered Psychotherapist), Diploma TIRP, member CAPT
Being able to talk and be listened to can be surprisingly effective at making many instances of anxiety become more manageable. The nervous system responds to being heard and understood, even when we don't feel like we can understand it on our own. Awareness of specific fears can emerge, take shape and be identified, enabling us to feel we have more agency over what we feel, and therefore in life.

Jaime Brand
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Associate Certified Coach (ACC)
Anxiety and/or fear is a common experience for many of us. And regardless of the severity or intensity of fear or anxiety in your life, it can have a significant impact on your day-to-day experience, sometimes resulting in a fear of fear itself. Using an integrative and holistic approach, we can work to build up your resilience, distress tolerance, and coping skills to help you to face, accept, and mange these fears and anxieties, rather than avoiding or unintentionally maintaining them.

Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
Anxiety is one of the Goliaths of our time.
There is no way around the mountain of pain and darkness; you have to go through in order to get to the light on the other side.
The work I offer works to pull out all the tools to support you on the sometimes arduous trek toward inner peace.
Part of being a spiritual warrior is having the courage to shine a light on the monsters that are keeping you stuck—to look at the obstacles to finding your self-culture squarely in the eye—and when you see the dark within, you have to name it, claim it and then transform it. This process is a kind of facing one's imagined demons so as to finally slay them!
The feelings of turmoil, self doubt, insecurity are all part of the darkness that if left untouched will take over..... The only way to neutralize and transform any part of yourself that is causing you pain and grief is to completely and courageously shine a light on it and then systematically master it through a process of detecting it, disrupting it and eventually replacing it.
Breathwork, visualization, thought logs, parts work, supplements, talk therapy as well as somatic focusing are all part of the tool box we draw from in order to neutralize anxiety holistically.

While anxiety and stress in small amounts can be a helpful source of information, too much can become overwhelming and even interfere with our daily lives. Therapy can be a space to explore the impacts of anxiety and how it may have become engrained into your self-narrative. You and I can work together to co-create coping strategies that are unique to your specific situation. Contact me to book a free consultation so we can decide together if we would be a good fit.

Kristie Brassard & Associates
Registered Social Worker, RSW
Fear is an innate and protective emotion, that lets us know when danger may be near. We don’t want to rid of it completely, however, when fear and anxiety are being triggered in situations that are not threatening our survival, it can get in the way of our quality of life. Learning to calm the physical symptoms of anxiety, taking time to understand our anxiety more deeply, and learning to tap into our courage can really give us a sense of emotional control back.
Our therapists can help you learn to manage symptoms of anxiety, heal the vulnerable parts of you that are terrified, and live a life that feels better for you.

Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Anxiety can be a productive and useful tool in helping us understand and interpret our environment. However, when anxiety is chronic, it can take a significant toll on both physical and mental health, ultimately effecting all facets of our lives. I like to examine the causes of anxiety and understand what anxiety is attempting to communicate and protect one from. In doing so, I hope to reframe anxiety, foster acceptance and welcome healing and change. I am also a strong believer in self-care and giving oneself permission to rest, which is imperative in stress and anxiety management.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, MTh
Together we will seek to understand the underlying psychological processes that contribute to your anxiety symptoms. We will explore your early life experiences, attachment patterns, and interpersonal relationships to gain insight into the origins of your suffering. We will work towards identifying and expressing your underlying emotions that may be driving the anxiety, such as fear, anger, or sadness, shame. We will look for more helpful ways for you to manage the anxiety states, such as identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, exploring unconscious conflicts and fantasies, and promoting your self-reflection and self-awareness.

Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
Anxiety is a physiological response to fear and/or uncertainty or something that has happened in the past that gets projected into the future. One of the first things I suggest to my clients to do is to slow down; pause and take a breath as the awareness of the anxiety is the first step. Emma Seppala in her TED talk provides us with a exercise in breathing which helps us to do this; she uses breathing in her work to help Vietnam Veterans s to heal from the trauma of war. Other reference for anxiety is Elisha Goldstein Ph.D. Also Elissa Epel Deep Breathing.
