Anxiety or Fears
Dennis Keefe
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A.
I have a lot of respect for clients who possess the courage to come to therapy to address a longstanding fear or phobia that has been causing significant distress or has been preventing them from living the life they want to live. I like to take a structured CBT approach to what is causing the fear which includes examining unhelpful thoughts and helping the client gradually move towards greater exposure to the feared stimulus. I am always researching what works in the field of anxiety treatment. I am currently exploring exposure therapy through virtual reality which can help the client complete more gradual exposures in a less risky environments before trying the exposure in real life. One of my favourite quotes relating to anxiety is "I've lived through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened." - Mark Twain

Liz Dean
Registered Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Are held back in life by fear and anxiety? Anxiety can feel like a constant battle through negative thoughts, feelings or body sensations that crowd out other things that are important to us. This is my specialization as I find the worst part of anxiety is that it is often misinterpreted by the self and others and can lead to low self-esteem and excessive shame. My style is direct and genuinely non-judgemental so you can explore your history and current situation to build the wisdom and courage to find a new path forward.

Laura Farberman
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW
The techniques that I use help people to understand why they think and worry about things when they don't want to anymore. I support people in letting go of fears by bringing deep and compassionate awareness to why they are there in the first place. Through self compassion comes the ability to change our thoughts and behaviours.

We all have feelings of worry from time to time. However if these thoughts and feelings are persistent and you find you have a constant racing mind, spiralling, catastrophic thoughts, or have the feeling of being on-edge about every little thing, you may be struggling with symptoms of anxiety. Psychotherapy is a powerful tool to help manage and mitigate symptoms of anxiety by uncovering the root cause of your worries. By understanding your fears and triggers, you can better navigate anxiety provoking situations and move through them with more ease and confidence.

Beyond Talk Psychotherapy
Licensed Psychoanalyst, RP, CAT, CCC, ATPQ, ACNN
Anxiety and Fears are emotions characterized by thoughts, feelings and physical changes. Externalizing the anxiety or fears can help separate yourself from the problem. This will give you the opportunity to look at anxiety or fear on its own and understand how it is impacting your lived experience. Anxiety or fears are only part of your narrative. By exploring your self-narrative we will be able to begin the process of reframing your stories to develop a more positive and beneficial narrative. Anxiety or Fears could be explored by either talking or creating artworks.

Zanna Seipp-Katz
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Anxiety and fear is so prevalent in our society today. My strength is narrowing down what the root of the issue may be and to create achievable goals in which to conquer or manage these issues. Incorporating DBT skills when necessary has been very beneficial for many who are challenged with anxiety and fear.

Delphine Amer
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., Registered Psychotherapist
I have extensive training in the management of OCD symptoms (obsessions and the resulting compulsions) and utilize ERP (exposure response prevention) to manage OCD. For specific fears and phobia's, social anxiety, agoraphobia and generalized anxiety, I utilize typical CBT strategies (building an avoidance hierarchy, attempting steps on hierarchy, teaching about cognitive distortions, recognizing triggers, teaching relaxation and grounding techniques). I provide significant psychoeducation on proven clinical methods for managing anxiety. All the aforementioned presented kindly with empathy for the difficulties experienced. I spend considerable time exploring the roots of anxiety (core beliefs, rules and assumptions, automatic thoughts and adverse childhood events which can result in anxiety symptoms).

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
In working with clients on their anxiety and stress I primarily aim to promote understanding: understanding of why we are feeling so anxious and stressed, what factors contribute, what can be done to better manage or eliminate anxiety and stress from our lives, and most importantly, how to eliminate ambiguity from our lives. I specialize in working with clients on their stress and anxiety, whether it stems from work, relationships, family, trauma, lifestyle, or beliefs. It is only through understanding that we can promote comprehensive and meaningful change in our lives. I utilize principles of cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused work, and psychodynamics in my work.
