Delyse Ledgard, MA RCC
I work with all manner of anxiety - social, generalized, anxiety that can arise out of events such as separation or trauma, or panic. Anxiety occurs when our nervous system is activated and we don't feel safe. It is important to work from a holistic approach to work with the bodies reactions and learn to regulate the activation to a tolerable level. Once this has been achieved the issues in ones life that are causing the activation can be worked through.

Anxiety and stress can rob you of your health, ambition, your friends, even a good night’s sleep. It can build up to a point where everything seems like an insurmountable challenge. You may be facing extreme challenges in your life, but it’s still possible to make your worries manageable, so you can concentrate on solutions. We’ll help you to discover why certain situations stress you out, and how you can use anxiety-reducing techniques as a tool to sort out legitimate concerns from unproductive self-doubt.

Stress and anxiety are part of life and can be positive forces that motivate and excite us. Yet the demands of work, family and other relationships can overwhelm our normal capacity to cope. I work with clients to create a supportive place to explore and clarify key issues that contribute to current stress and fear, while coaching through strategies to actively manage symptoms. The goal is to promote self-awareness, develop confidence in strategies to manage the overwhelming feelings, and feel more resilient.
Juliet Teeter, MA, CCC

Juliet provides a safe and caring environment to help you realize the reasons for your anxiety or stress and help you learn new skills to overcome it. You don't need to live like this anymore!
Sean Hassall, MA (Counselling Psychology) CCC, RCC
Emotions are helpful adaptations for survival because they let us know when our needs, values, or goals are going to be advanced or harmed in some way. Anxiety is a very normal reaction to stress. It helps us deal with tense situations, like studying for a mid-term or driver’s test. Anxiety helps us cope; however, when anxiety becomes an excessive dread of everyday situations, it can make life very challenging. How will you benefit from my services? You will benefit by creating a self-management plan that’s based on clinically proven stress management techniques to help you manage your anxiety, increase your vitality, and the quality of your life.
Judy Lyon, MA, SFTT, MPCP #1883
Our experience of anxiety is often an indicator that something is out of balance in our lives. While a healthy degree of stress can be a motivating factor for many people, it can become emotionally and physically debilitating if it is excessive. Together we will explore the source of your anxiety and/or stress and develop skills and create options for you to begin to enjoy balance in your life once again. I have assisted many clients to regain the ability to respect and respond to their emotions and the messages they can learn from them, rather than feeling controlled by them. They have reported feeling empowered and able to enjoy life again.

Everyone suffers from anxiety and stress. The focus in counseling is two folded. Life situations can cause us stress that is beyond our normal coping skill. Therapy can help in developing new coping skills to deal with these specific situations like a difficult divorce. But often what we call anxiety is more of a generalized fear; it can be about money, health or just fear of making a mistake. Cognitive therapy combined with relaxation techniques are very helpful in both finding better coping skills and looking at the underlying issues (ex. lack of confidence, fear of rejection).

Real Solutions to Real Challenges.
Stress is necessary for survival and provides opportunity for growth. However, it can aslo result in anxiety and even panic with accompaning physical symptoms. Unproductive coping mechanisms may kick in that have become entrenched and difficult to break. In more severe cases Obsessive-Complusive Behaviors may surface to distract us from the anxieties. These obsessive-compulsive behaviors may become debilitating and incredibly frustrating. Martin helps clients deminish their anieties by cognitive restructuring, relaxation training, and overcoming avoidance. Avoidance only provides short-term relief, at the cost significantly damaging our self-esteem

Anxiety, panic, and stress often show up as tension or unpleasant physical sensations in the body as fear and other emotions are held back. Trauma, relationship problems, losses, and attachment issues are often the hidden source of emotional pain. To resolve anxiety and panic, I use a mind-body approach which integrates cognitive, emotional, and body sensing techniques to get curious about and resolve the true underlying issues.
Kate Blassnitz, MSW, RSW, HTP
Anxiety and stress symptoms serve a biological purpose. But when too much of our mental, emotional and/or physical energy and time go into managing our anxiety and stress there is a problem. That's when counseling helps. Everything from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to Mindfulness Practice to routine exercise to EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) are proven to help reduce stress and anxiety. In my years of experience I have found it most useful to develop a treatment program based on each person's unique stress and anxiety. This program will draw from any of the above techniques to help you make your anxiety and stress much more manageable.
Devorah Peterson, M.Ed., RCC
Most of my clients over the past twenty plus years have dealt with some form of anxiety and stress. There are many helpful approaches to managing these such as mindfulness and breath awareness, but I have found that often the greatest healing comes from learning to trust one's self and the process of life. Listening to one's deepest self and learning to express one's truth verbally or creatively, may also help the person transform their anxiety and live with greater energy and joy. As with most issues, each individual is unique, as is the approach that is called for.
Barbara Harris
Some of the benefits of counselling for anxiety include:
Feeling better about yourself, as you learn knowledge and skills to help you to understand and manage the challenges you face;
Becoming more satisfied with life as you clear away past hurts, and improve or strengthen your relations with others;
Overcoming unhealthy patterns of feeling, thinking or behaving which have prevented you from reaching your life goals;
Shifting from reacting to situations to responding to situations in healthy ways, leading to improved confidence; and
Self awareness and personal growth.
Doug Hilton, RCC
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help people to release anxiety and stress from the past. I use Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to give people a tool that they can use to calm themselves in the present moment. I teach self-hypnosis so people can train their minds on a deep level to work toward and expect a happy and peaceful future. I teach people Chi Kung meditations so they can learn how to quickly and effectively change their moods, boost their energy levels, and balance their systems.
Ian Bond, M.A., R.C.C.

Anxiety and stress seem to be the most prevalent distresses for people today. At Laskey Counselling & Hypnotherapy we have found that hypnotherapy, coupled with traditional talk therapy has been the most effective form of treatment for stress and anxiety. With the use of hypnotherapy, you are able to find the peace and relaxation that stress & anxiety rob from you. With your therapist, you will explore your experience of anxiety and stress to find the root cause, and, with the use of hypnotherapy, eliminate that root cause. You can experience calmness and freedom in a way that you may never have thought possible.
Patricia Dean, RPC
Anxiety and stress can interfere with the pleasure and enjoyment of life. If anxiety and stress are causing problems for you, I can help. Together we will work at determining the nature of anxiety and the desired outcome such as being calmer, enjoying life more, enjoying people more and to not fear or avoid. A cognitive behavior approach to resolving your anxiety and stress will make you feel in control of your anxiety and stress rather than it controlling you in a short period of time. You will learn new skills that are useful for a lifetime!
Ted Leavitt, M.Sc., RCC
Many people view anxiety as irrational, illogical, silly, or unrealistic fears. Using Education Behavior Therapy, my goal is to help you see that behavior is rational, logical, and goal-directed, but can be based on unhealthy or inaccurate beliefs. By addressing the underlying beliefs, the behavior that results from them will change naturally. Anxiety disorders are the most treatable psychological problem that there is and there is tons of hope out there, waiting for you to grab onto it.
David Aboussafy, Ph.D, C-SAE, R.Psych.
I specialize in best practice treatment for anxiety disorders, stress management and related issues. This includes treatment for panic disorder (with and without agoraphobia), acute and posttraumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, and chronic stress. I work collaboratively with clients developing treatment plans employing functionally focussed methodologies including cognitive behaviour therapy, reactivation, exposure therapy, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy.
Tamara Knott, BA, BComm, MA, RCC
Anxiety and stress is the body’s natural response to danger, an automatic alarm that goes off when we feel threatened. But when anxiety is constant or overwhelming, when it interferes with your relationships and activities—that’s when you’ve crossed the line from normal anxiety into the territory of anxiety disorders. As a product of the body’s fight-or-flight response, anxiety involves a wide range of physical symptoms. Many people experiencing anxiety benefit from supportive counselling or couples or family therapy. However, experts agree that the most effective form of treatment for the is cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT).
Michael de Jong, R. Psych. #1529
Dr. de Jong has extensive experience working with anxiety disorders and stress. Using current, proven psychotherapy techniques as well as take-home devices he can assist you in gaining control over your troubling thoughts and worries. During the first session a workbook is provided to help you understand the problem and practice exercises are begun to move you in a valued direction.

Do you long to feel more relaxed, and at ease with life? In our world today there is no shortage of stress. There are so many expectations on us from workplace, family, and ourselves. Without outlets for relieving stress, we begin to experience anxiety. With anxiety comes a heightened state of arousal that lingers long after stressful experiences. This can cause physical symptoms like headaches, back pain, and a queasy stomach, and emotional symptoms such as fear and avoidance. I have worked successfully with people struggling with anxiety (social, school, general, PTSD, and specific phobias from spiders to dentists) to live more enjoyable lives.

With anxiety and stress, it is important to not only learn ways to manage the symptoms, but also to heal at the source. Looking to the implicitly stored awareness that the body holds we can often unhook the stress and anxiety where it is rooted. New neural pathways form from this gently implicit attention, helping the body to have a new relationship to the same experiences.

Elaine Clark, BA. M.P.C.P.CCht
Anxiety is a reaction to an unnamed fear. This fear has some belief that feeds it, and once the belief is uncovered, and seen as only a thought, it becomes no threat to anyone. The belief in ones power of thought control over what "appears" to be fearful is an important step to empowerment of the individual to overcome anxiety. The immediate daily practice of focussed breathing will help to eliminate the symptoms quickly.
Shawn McNabb, B.A., M.Ed. (Counselling Psychology), R.C.C.
I believe in honoring and developing one's internal coping skills. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) can be very helpful. The work would begin with rehearsing and practice a variety of strategies that will work with the individual to relax and decrease their anxiety. A specific strategy could include Deep Muscle Relaxation where there is a focus on breathing, imagery and a focus on specific muscle groups of constricting and releasing the tension.

There is a saying that you cannot heal or change what you do not acknowledge. Facing your fears in a safe therapeutic environment extinguishes there power and hold on your life. We also help people also understand the way the brain alarm system works and how powerful techniques like Observed and Experienced Integration (OEI) can turn off this alarm system and eliminate future triggers. This process is quicker than traditional therapy and on reducing the impact of past traumas like abuse, neglect, abandonment, emb....

It is a red flag that something isn’t working in our lives and we need to take a step back and re-assess.

Wellness is such a vital part of our life, yet we probably spend the least amount of time focused on it. Anxiety and stress are a natural part of life with all the juggling we have to do on a daily basis. At a functional level, it can motivate us to multi-task and set goals for ourselves. It becomes a problem when we are overwhelmed by it; that is when it is non-functional anxiety and stress. Counselling can be an excellent way to begin to create balance and wellness in your life. Anxiety does not have to be the enemy; it can be your ally. My approach is to support you in finding your own inner solutions to stress and anxiety in order to be your true self.

Stress is basic to life, without it, the human organism would not exist. But when stress, anxiety or fear mount and seem to take charge of us, instead of it being the other way around, then they no longer serve as the motivators or protectors they are meant to be. Instead they become dictators in our head controlling us or reducing our freedom of choice. Too often we are told to 'just relax' but no one tells us how. Relaxing in the traditional ways is often not practical. Close your eyes in heavy traffic? I don't think so! In therapy you will learn specific strategies for dealing with various & specific types of stress and how to allow anxiety only a small place in your consciousness.

Anxiety and Stress are approached with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Education and coping / management techniques are explored, as well as 'homework' in the form of skills practise. People should expect a clear therapy plan to reduce their experience of anxiety and increased confidence in learning how to manage and cope. With children / youth often Art Therapy and / or Play therapy is integrated into the counselling. Parents of kids should expect to be involved and supported in their awareness of anexiety and stress and how to assit their children in management.

Even though anxiety can be debilitating, it is very treatable. In my treatment of anxiety spectrum disorders, which include generalized anxiety, phobias, and social anxiety disorder, I employ an evidence-based approach that integrates cognitive-behavioural therapy with the principles of mindfulness. Using this approach, I not only help clients to challenge and modify anxiety-provoking thoughts, but I also teach them to "let thoughts be thoughts" while they commit to a course of action that brings change and fulfillment. With this approach, many of my clients have found a way to cope effectively with their stressors and reclaim their lives from anxiety.

What is stressful to one person is not necessarily stressful to another. Stress can arise from your thoughts about any situation. Anxiety is a feeling of fear or apprehension. When the source of your anxiety is unknown, it can be heightened. I can help you examine how you experience anxiety and this can lessen or eliminate your symptoms. You can learn to live with stressful situations with less anxiety and you can begin to create a life that has less stress in it.. Together we can create positive change in your life.

You will learn holistic ways of restoring the body's natural state of balance and well-being through healthy changes in diet, exercise, and sleep patterns. We will identify the thinking patterns that stimulate and maintain anxious states, and we will replace them with thoughts that result in calmer, more grounded feelings. You will also learn how to identify and manage the physical sensations of the fight/flight response that contribute to anxiety, resulting in a body-centered experience of well-being.

Anxiety can be debilitating. Uncovering the underlying causes for the worries and fears then learning how to relax will help control your anxiety levels, stop worrisome thoughts, and conquer your fears. Developing more positive coping and problem solving skills will provide you with life long tools for managing unexpected situations. Realizing it is your thoughts and their perceptions, not the external event, that affects the way you feel and react, will allow you to replace the negative reaction with positive ones. Stress can be managed by taking control. Prioritize, identify the major source then each additional one then follow through with changes remembering you are in control.

Fear and anxiety can be natural human responses to stressful events in our lives. A necessary way of alerting us to trouble and potential pain. But they can also paralyze and prevent us from remedying the situations we are faced with, even making matters worse by freezing us in place and causing us to feel stuck in our lives and unable to resolve the impasses before us. Therapy helps to develop the inner strength necessary to constructively respond to such life challenges, without becoming a victim of our circumstances and without losing touch with ourselves in the process. Personal work helps to calm the inner self and create proactive possibilities in the life situations around us.

As a busy mother of three children and the daughter of aging parents, I understand how challenging and stressful life can be. Changing how you currently deal with stress and anxiety is not easy. Change takes motivation, inspiration, and perspiration. Together, by focussing on the link between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, we will identify the patterns of thinking that are causing you stress and we will work on specific tools to help reduce your anxiety and improve your mood.
Johanna Abraham, M.S.W, R.S.W
Not everybody experiences anxiety and stress on a daily basis but those of us who do know how energy consuming and unproductive these can be. Learning or re-learning how to manage your anxiety and stress can give you the light heartedness and peace of mind that you crave. I work with people of all ages who grapple with anxiety and stress and have a range of tools that I can teach you to manage yours.
Glenda Lagasse, M.A., R.C.C.
While some anxiety can be helpful and even necessary for you to function optimally in life, many times it can run rampant and out of control, leaving you feeling helpless in its grip. It can also affect you physically by getting headaches or feeling sick to your stomach. I can help equip you with coping strategies and techniques to help reduce or diminish symptoms of anxiety. You can take control of your anxiety . . . it doesn't have to control you anymore!
Jill Arnold, MA,MA,RCC,CHT
If you have experienced that pounding heart, rapid breathing, out of body experience and difficulty concentrating you are not alone. Anxiety and Panic Attacks are extremely common and uncomfortable. Whether it is experienced driving, speaking in public, being with others, or participating in your sport... I can help you resolve this and begin to feel better very quickly.
Our body has two nervous systems, one is the stress response which if you are reading this you are already familiar with, and one is the relaxation response which is very pleasant and comforting. In our work together I will help you resolve your anxiety/panic and re orient your mind and body to the relaxation response.

We all seek a sense of well being and peace of mind. Stress, anxiety and feelings of panic make that seem impossible to attain. The more anxious we feel, the more desperate we are to regain control, the more illusive it becomes. Using practical and experiential tools, we will work together to eliminate negative thoughts, manage intense feelings, control racing thoughts, increase focus and concentration, develop confidence in yourself and your decisions and to wake each day with a sense of calm.

Stress management is an ongoing balancing act - between life's stressors and a person's personal resources. Counselling helps individuals build their personal resources, while at the same time reducing the power of outside stressors. Individuals feel increased confidence in knowing what they CAN do, they connect with their strengths and courage to take action and learn to accept and let go of what is not their responsibility, of what they cannot control.
Heather Gretton, Ph.D.; R.Psych
A lot of people struggle with stress, worry, anxiety, panic. They often feel tense, stuck and overwhelmed, and not sure how to get out of the rut . Many people benefit from sharing their anxieties and stresses with a Psychologist who is skilled at listening, who can offer new perspectives and who can help clients learn new skills and strategies to manage stress and anxiety and improve their well being. I am a Psychologist who works with clients who struggle with many types of anxieties, stresses and worries. Like a coach, I can help clients better understand their problems and issues, develop skills and practice changes to improve their emotional well being.
Lori Capozzi, B.A., M.Ed., RCC
Anxiety and stress are common complaints in our busy world with many demands and little time. How does a person cope? I have found that anxiety and stress occur when we are not living in the NOW. We may be obsessing about the past or worrying about the future. Using mindfulness, I can help you to access the present moment, the only place where peace can be found.
Kendra Niwa, MA, RCC

Lisa Webster, MA CCC
Rapidly release anxiety and stress with Lisa's cutting edge techniques so that stress and anxiety melt away. Emotions can overwhelm us. Sometimes all we focus on is the negative, glass half empty perspective. We often load up our plates with so much worry and stress that we can become immobilized. We try to suppress, repress, avoid and ignore our emotions hoping that they will go away. Unfortunately, these techniques don't work in the long term. Learn to let emotions go and learn these new techniques that can be easily learned and duplicated at home.
Allison Bates, MA, RCC

Therapy at West Coast Counseling can help you to manage your anxiety, identify the stressors in your life and develop coping skills to manage your life better all in a safe, supportive environment.
