Alexandra Elias
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., Registered Psychotherapist
Persistent worries that easily get in the way of day to day functioning can prevent a person from going to work, from going out in public, and can result in having to live largely in agony.
If you have ever felt nervousness or jittery, seek constant reassurance, are having difficulty sleeping being kept up by worrying, find yourself to be more self-critical than average, or are hypersensitive, there is a good chance you might be struggling from anxiety.

Occasional anxiety in social situations is normal for everyone. However, certain events such as job interviews, presentations, and meeting new people can be particularly stressful. If your fear of social interaction is interfering with your daily life, it may be a serious concern.
Social anxiety, also known as social phobia, is among the most common anxiety disorders. It can severely disrupt everyday activities and prevent people from taking advantage of opportunities.

Anxiety and fear are normal emotions we all experience from time to time, and low to moderate levels of anxiety motivate us to take action, although exaggerated levels of anxiety and frequent fears can interrupt our quality of life.

Phobias

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder(OCD)
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Kevin Greene, Health & Happiness: Counselling and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology
Anxiety and fears are natural and everybody has them. I help my clients understand how their mind and body experience anxiety. Anxiety can be thought based, emotion based, or both at the same time. With all clients we try to figure out which kind of anxiety they are experiencing so that we can then work to reduce their fear.

In my work with you, I seek to help you understand the story of stress and anxiety in your life, its origins, the ways it impacts you and what kind of relationship you might want with it moving forward to be able to better manage it.

Lolita Abramyan
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Anxiety can feel like a crippling experience, but it no longer needs to control your life! I help people explore the roots of their anxiety, and teach them practical skills/tools for managing it. Anxiety does not have to be a life-sentence, and having the right tools can help you break free from the anxious thoughts and sensations that interfere with your life and ability to feel happy. I use a combination of approaches like CBT, Mindfulness, and Acceptance-Commitment therapy (ACT) to help you disarm the anxiety and return to a more peaceful and relaxed state of being. There is a lot of hope that you can reduce or even eliminate your anxiety, and my main goal is to help you do so.

Anxiety is one of the most prevalent and challenging forms of human suffering. It can also vary in intensity from mild tension and apprehension to feelings of fear and terror. At times, feelings of pain and shame about anxiety may be so great that we may wish to die to escape. We also know that anxiety takes many different forms. For example, some people can have intense and sudden physical symptoms, known as panic attacks. Some people with social anxiety can become particularly concerned about social situations, fearing that people might see them as inadequate or inferior and, as a consequence, reject or avoid them. Anxiety is an important and essential emotion; however, when anxiety causes significant distress or when anxious behaviour impairs a person’s ability to function—when anxiety negatively affects a person’s life—we call this an anxiety disorder. As if feeling anxious and stressed were not enough, we can also become fearful of these emotions and try to suppress or avoid them, even becoming self-critical for feeling overly anxious. Together, we will work inwards to the root of anxiety and collaboratively manage the anxiety's intensity levels.
