Anxiety or Fears
Darren Williamson
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC (#23397)
The modern world tells us that it is bad to feel fearful or anxious. "Be happy" is the message we have been given from childhood through school, through our family, through TV and social media, as if happiness is the default and all other emotions are dysfunctional. This is not true. Happiness is important, but living life with only happiness is like eating a diet of only sugar, or listening to a song that is only bass. We need the lows to give meaning to the highs.
Through therapy, I will help you better understand your fear and anxiety without shaming or stigmatizing it. Once we understand the role your fear and anxiety plays in your life, we will find ways to make it work for you. And once you are able to accept your emotions without needing to avoid them, your happiness will feel more meaningful.
"Happiness cannot be pursued, it can only ensue. One must have a reason to be happy... Doing so would be the same as urging people posed in front of a camera to say “cheese,” only to find that in the finished photographs their faces are frozen in artificial smiles." Victor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

Anxiety or Fears
Reema Qamar
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CCC
Anxiety can be debilitating and disruptive leaving an individual feeling confused, vulnerable, and frustrated. Although experiencing a certain level anxiety is natural and an adaptive response in our nervous system to keep us safe, it becomes maladaptive when in overdrive. Understanding the neurobiology behind anxiety and the events that trigger it is critical to treatment. Therapy includes a deep exploration of how anxiety developed, how it is keeping you safe, and coping strategies that may be useful to manage high levels of anxiety. Psychoeducation on the neurobiology behind the stress response provides a deep understanding of how stress impacts the nervous system. In our sessions, I will support you in exploring your thoughts, emotions such as fear, sadness, and anger as well as triggers that lead to heightened levels of anxiety. Exploring earlier experiences and trauma that may have led to the development of negative beliefs and may be fueling negative automatic thoughts can help determine the root cause of anxiety to break dysfunctional thinking patterns. When dealing with anxiety, improving one’s self-concept and self efficacy can be an empowering and liberating process.

Anxiety or Fears
Molly McBride
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, RTC
I come from a place of personal understanding about how anxiety and fear can feel like it's running your life. I want to hear about your experience, and how this has impacted your growth and relationships. Together, we will become familiar with the mechanisms within the brain that, when triggered, can lead to an overactivation of the fear and anxiety zones. Then, using techniques like EMDR, hypnotherapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we can start to formulate a roadmap back toward the version of you that feels peaceful, confident, and self-assured.

Tracey MacKenzie
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CCC #7392
Anxiety can be crippling. It can keep you from enjoying social situations, excelling at work or school, or keeping you in a constant state of fear. You don't have to go through life scared of living. Yes, the unknown can be scary so let's talk about when that started, if it's really true (fun fact: not all thoughts are true!), other ways of looking at the situation, learning new skills, and trying new ways of being. We can develop a new you!

Lisa Willow
Counsellor/Therapist, BSW, MSW, ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider
Anxiety often accompanies ADHD. When we struggle with ADHD we can become afraid of failure, and struggle with anxiety related to social situations, relationships, work, and school. Anxiety often shows up as "what if...." Our brains imagine fearful scenarious in the future which keep our nervous systems locked into fight or flight mode perpetuating our anxiety. Learning skills, tools, and self regulation techniques can help us in managing our anxieties. I offer CBT for anxiety along with somatic excerices to help with anxiety managment.
