Anxiety Counselling Ontario

Anxiety & Anxiety Disorder Counselling

Everyone at some point in their life experiences anxiety because it is our bodies natural way of responding to a perceived threat or danger. The way that anxiety is felt can vary from person to person, but commonly manifests in uncomfortable physical sensations, emotional responses, as well as negative thought and behavioral patterns. While anxiety is natural, and in some situations helpful, it can sometimes be out of proportion to the situation or get stuck in overdrive and become linked to chronic stress, excessive worry and rumination, avoidance behaviors, and unreasonable levels of fear. Anxiety disorders (such as generalized anxiety, panic, phobias, agoraphobia, and social anxiety) are a common mental health concern and often respond well to psychotherapy.

Therapy provides a supportive environment to explore and manage your anxiety, including its impact on your daily life, the underlying causes, and the effectiveness of your coping strategies.
