Anxiety or Fears
Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Anxiety is a horrible thing, it makes you doubt yourself and the world around you, it leads you to overestimate how bad things are and underestimate your ability to handle them. There are very easy to learn skills that can help you get anxiety and fear under your control and retake important areas of your life.

Anxiety or Fears
Veronique Rioux
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Transpersonal Counsellor (RTC number 3047)
I specialize in helping individuals manage and overcome anxiety, social fears, and phobias through a compassionate, evidence-based approach. Anxiety can manifest in various ways, from persistent worry and overthinking to physical symptoms like restlessness, tension, and panic attacks. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore the root causes of your anxiety and fears while learning effective coping strategies.
Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and somatic awareness, I guide clients in recognizing and challenging anxious thought patterns, cultivating a sense of calm, and building resilience. I also incorporate techniques from Emotionally Focused Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy to address the emotional and relational aspects of anxiety, helping you feel more grounded and secure in yourself and your interactions with others. Together, we’ll work towards reducing the grip anxiety has on your life, empowering you to move forward with greater confidence and ease.

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
David Andreone
Therapist, MA, AMFT
Anxiety is almost always rooted in the future -- thinking about the future, obsessing about the future, worrying about the future. Learning how to live in the moment, in the here and now, can reduce most outsized anxiety.
