In relational psychotherapy, we spend a lot of time on relational feelings. They turn up in your daily relationships with your family, friends, and co-workers. We'll look at what happens in those interactions that leaves you feeling badly about yourself and make you feel anxious or stressful. You might begin to notice patterns there that make you think of earlier relationships in your life. We will talk about how those relationships told you who you are, what you're worth, and what you can get from life.

When we are overcome by emotions, our ability to see things objectively is thrown out the window. Even when we switch to the logical left brain, our emotional system is on overload and will automatically attempt to reduce our levels of anxiety and tension. To do this, psychological defense mechanisms spring into action. A defense is an unconscious response to anxiety that allows us to deal with the situation from a safer position. It temporary alters the way we view the situation that has made us feel overwhelmed. I will help you to identify the stress in your life, assess your current coping habits (defenses), learn healthier habits and acquire new skills to manage your life stress.

One of the great quotes about living is from the famed psychologist James Hillman "Happiness is knowing how to manage anxiety" . We all have anxiety and stress, if it is or becomes a problem, then it is important to build our capacity and understanding. I practice mindfulness with my clients when it comes to anxiety and stress because it has been show to reduce the side-effects and to begin to build some understanding in order to help manage the symptoms.

Stress & anxiety are major barriers to living a full and satisfying life, and unfortunately becoming increasingly problematic in these fast-paced, uncertain times. Finding balance and relief from stressful, anxious patterns involves learning to understand thinking patterns and emotional responses, and cultivating tools to break the cycle of stress-related reactions. My therapeutic approach is holistic in nature, and involves learning to understand these negative patterns, as well as working with meditative and mindfulness techniques that promote awareness, relaxation and deeper connection with the self in order to find more balance and peace within the context of our busy lives.

Anxiety and stress are everywhere, and everyone is different in what upsets them, and how they cope with it. Anxiety is also the most treatable condition, because though it is felt biologically and emotionally, it is often in our thoughts and beliefs that it emerges - and we can work with that. I use a cogntive behavioural model that integrates an emotionally-validating approach to get at what is the stressor for you and why, and teaching new skills to manage it. This is an area I have extensive expertise in. I'd be happy to discuss your personal case in an assessment meeting. Feel free to contact me soon!

Distracted? Distressed?Shy? Anxiety and Stress can have an impact on your daily living, and can take many forms. Our therapists will work with you using an integrated approach to ease your anxious thoughts and feelings, and manage your stress effectively. Our therapists incorporate your goals with techniques such as mindfulness based relaxation, worry exposure, increasing self-esteem, revising distorted beliefs, and relapse prevention.
Lori Dennis, M.A. Counselling Psychology
We all experience stress and anxiety in some form. Healthy stress and anxiety can act as motivators to complete tasks and perform well. When anxiety and stress feel out of control, they may get in the way of our health and productivity. When overwhelmed with these emotions, and when feeling like they are out of our control, that's the time to seek professional help and learn strategies to manage them more effectively. With Talk Therapy, you will learn to balance your life, give voice to your feelings, be more assertive, and find the courage to deal with your problems head on. These strategies and more will help you to manage your stress more effectively.
Robert T. Muller, Ph.D., C.Psych.
People often come to see me for psychotherapy in my downtown Toronto practice when they find that they are struggling with anxiety-related problems, such as panic disorder, social phobia, anxiety disorders, and the tendency to ruminate excessively. Psychotherapy helps individuals cope better with stress through the use of relaxation methods, and techniques to help regulate excessive anxiety.
Eliza Fernandes, MSW, RSW
Worries often get in the way of being able to be satisfied with ourselves. Often these worries sneak up on you and affect many areas of your life such as work performance, sleep, etc. Through therapeutic conversations we can map out how these worries came into your life, it's affects, discovering the false truths of worries, and eventually a conversation on how you would prefer to live your life.
Anxiety is fairly common and I often receive feedback from clients that they have "freedom" from debilitating thoughts and beliefs.
Mitra Gholamain, Ph.D. C. Psych
Anxiety usually signifies perception of a threat. When anxious, we become aware of an external or internal threat. An external threat would be a situation that is perceived as dangerous (a negative perforamance evaluation) or an internal threat such as becoming aware of a negative thought or feeling (i.e. I'm ashamed for being a failure). Some degree of anxiety is normal under stress, however if you feel crippled and overwhelmed by it, you might wish to consider psychotherapy to learn effective strategies to contain your anxiety. Therapy can help you understand causes of your anxiety and learn how to respond to anxiety-provoking situations with greater confidence.
Ema Nardella, M.ED., T.C., S.S.C.
Many people are so programmed by modern life to a fast-paced multitasking orientation. Mindfulness approaches/techniques can be more easily taught then carried through. In my practice the focus is on the factors needed to change lifestyle so that clients become essentially different (than they were). They may learn to simplify their lives and avoid stressors that they previously defined as unavoidable. I am an advanced yoga practioner that experiences the direct benefits of stress elimination/reduction. I take a holistic 'body' centred coaching style. Breathwork, journaling and cognitive behavioural methods are utilized with success.
Lesli Musicar, M.Ed., Counselling Psychology
If anxiety and stress are getting in the way of you being able to live with comfort and ease, I can help. Together, we will devise new effective strategies for managing stress and promoting self-care and safety. Often, chronic anxiety has deep roots. And until they are exposed and dealt with, the anxious symptoms do not stop. Together, we will find the source of your distress and resolve it. In the process, you will discover new inner strengths, self-respect, and the confidence you need to move forward in a grounded and centred way.
Nancy Christie, M.T.C., B.F.A.,C.Y.W.
I help people suffering from anxiety and stress with Mindfulness and hynotherapy methods geared to the individual needs of each client. Relief from anxiety emerges from noticing and accepting how the anxiety occurs and bringing new skills to meet the awareness. It is also important to receive compassionate understanding for your situation and your experience of the anxiety. You will know that these skills are working as you experience them and apply them.

We live in a very busy society, world for that matter. It is often difficult for people to "let go or quietly shut down". It seems that we are fairly overloaded with stimulus and this can be both emotionally and physically exhausting. In my practice, I believe it is important to pay attention to the mind and body connection. I am hopeful that through talking and identifying the angst and stress in one's life, people can begin to take hold and feel more empowered at how they want to manage these stressor's.

Anxiety and stress are amongst the most common challenges that I assist people with almost every day in my practice.

When we work together to reduce your anxiety and stress symptoms I'm confident that you'll benefit from the wide range of disciplines I have studied during my years specializing in anxiety and stress, both as a therapist in training and as an anxiety researcher at York University.

Most of the people I work with suffer from anxiety and stress. i use three different approaches to this problem. The first is the use of relaxation tapes to learn how to relax your body and mind. The second is working on the underlying issues that create the anxiety. Examples of this are 'a fear of making a mistake', fear of humiliation, etc.' The third area is the use of medication The decision to take or not take medication is entirely your decision. ANXIETY DEFINETLY CAN BE HELPED.

Everyone, in some unique way, has experienced anxiety and stress. We experience anxiety in many different ways, but there is a major symptom of fear and panic that is abnormal. This may cause our body to go into a flight or fight response. It alerts us of danger by the way in which our body responds. . Severe anxiety is usually caused from stress. It may interfere with your daily activities and/or your relationships. Some of these reactions may cause you to worry when there is no need to do so. At
I-Kare Counselling Service we help you to challenge those negative thought patterns and irrational beliefs. We help you to face your fears with some behavioural and exposure therapy.

Veronica Waisbein, M.A. (C) OACCPP
Do you feel stressed and perhaps anxious? What causes stress? Sometimes we are not fully aware of these feelings, but the thoughts are very frightening! They flash through and occur very quickly and often, just below the level of consciousness. In therapy we try to identify those thoughts and recognize the role they play in creating and maintaining anxiety. Can I get better? Yes, by understanding the process of how anxiety persists, by learning new coping skills and by making alterations in your lifestyle in order to manage successfully the amount of stress you put your self under. This may involve learning to be more assertive, managing your time better, and/or breaking unhelpful habits.
Gabriela Vilar, MA Counselling
Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. It helps one deal with a tense situation in the office, study harder for an exam, or keep focused on an important speech. In general, it helps one cope. But when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling disorder.
There are typical symptoms that can help you identify an anxiety problem. These are:
* Sweaty palms
* Muscle tension
* Fast heart-bit and chest pain
* Dizziness
* Flushed cheeks
* Difficulty breathing
The physical manifestation appears along with thoughts which undermine the ability to cope and that overestimates risks

I help clients understand their response to stress and to find viable ways to eliminate, reduce or manage their anxiety, including changing the source of that anxiety, managing symptoms through healthier lifestyle choices and mindful meditation. I encourage clients to be more compassionate toward themselves, to learn & enforce healthy boundaries with others, including how to say no and how to ask for what they need in a style that is consistent with who they are.

Is anxiety, panic or stress making it difficult for you to relax and enjoy yourself and interfering with the way you're able to live your life? I'll help you not just cope with the anxiety, panic and stress you’re experiencing, but also reduce and relieve your overall levels or anxiety and stress, and overcome much of your anxiety, panic and stress altogether. Many of my clients have found that putting their life of anxiety, panic and stress behind them is much more possible than they ever imagined. We'll use cognitive therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to help you calm your anxiety and worrying and alleviate stress and panic so they no longer get in the way of your ability to enjoy your life.

The Clinic's approach includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is frequently used for treating fears and anxiety related concerns. This approach typically initially emphasizes increasing the client’s knowledge about their specific concerns, such as how avoidance and escape behaviours commonly used when we feel anxious actually work to maintain the fear, focusing on increasing their immediate coping strategies (such as relaxation training and sleep hygiene), working on identifying exaggerated or irrational patterns of thinking that tend to skew how the client perceives or interprets certain situations (i.e. “I should never make mistakes”).

Anxiety and stress are normal reactions to a busy life. However, anxiety becomes problematic when it interferes to the extent that we cannot cope with our day-to-day activities in stride, and/or the interference lasts for an extended duration. At times anxiety and stress can be debilitating and cause panic attacks, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and phobias. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is an effective, empirically validated, treatment for the relief of anxiety, phobias, PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), and more.

It is normal to worry and feel stressed about life's problems and pressures. But when compounded symptoms begin to overwhelm us to the point where we are getting headaches, heart palpitations, a churning stomach, cold sweats, sleepless nights, weight loss, obsessive thoughts, a distressed GI tract - then we need help to break the adrenaline-fear cycle. Anxiety feeds on fear and needs to be confronted, appropriately and safely, with relaxation techniques, new perceptions and constructive thinking patterns. A counsellor can help you do this.

Anxiety is commonly associated with eating disorders. In fact, anxiety and stress may contribute to the development of eating disorders. Trying to control how much you eat, bingeing or other eating-related behaviours can be an attempt to alleviate the uncomfortable feelings of anxiety but the relief is, at best, only temporary. At New Realities, we can help you learn to recognize the early signs of anxiety, identify the situations and thought patterns that lead to anxiety, identify the underlying stress or memory that triggers the anxiety, help you learn to change the situation or thoughts and teach you self-calming techniques to reduce anxiety.

Through 20 years of practice, I have found that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is an extremely effective tool in managing anxiety, and I often use these techniques with clients. In addition, I am a firm believer in meditation and body relaxation techniques, and have been trained in many models in this regard. For clients willing to explore energy work, body-based therapies using an hands-on approach also help clients find relief from anxiety and stress. My holistic training in Reiki, Therapeutic Touch and Integrated Energy Therapy has been very beneficial to clients in this regard.

It is very difficult to function in our society without at times feeling totally overwhelmed by anxiety and stress. For many thousands, if not millions, of years, stress and anxiety came in the form of fears surrounding attacks from wild animals, not finding enough berries to fill the basket for the day, ghosts and evil spirits that may be lurking in the dark woods, or violent attacks from neighboring tribes. We do still have similar fears, but they are typically far removed from our clear and always present ability to address them. Our concern about enough food on the table is more complex now than not finding enough berries. We must develop new tools to cope with our more complex lives.

Anxiety is internalized prolonged internal stress. Often people are afraid because they have never owned up to themselves. It is completely understandable with the world we live in today and all the expectations placed on we can often become overwhelmed. It can be a forever on going pressure from anything such as, ageing; being alone; illness losing a job/family member/possession. Things that require action can also be heavy stress factors; relationships; losing weight; intimacy; career. Our inner state of mind; feeling rejected, like a failure; low self-image. Etc. "This is not true you have handled everything up till now". Reaching out for support is the first step to creating change.

Anxiety can be immobilizing and all-consuming. We tend to cope with anxiety by avoiding triggers that produce uncomfortable sensations. Yet this strategy requires us to avoid more and more and makes it impossible for us to disprove our anxious predictions. Cognitive behaviour therapy builds awareness of our thinking biases. This awareness then serves as a starting point for exposure exercises that assist us with noticing that, albeit highly uncomfortable, the feared situations are manageable. Repeated exposure reduces the intensity of our fear reaction and frees us to direct our attention towards nonthreatening and possibly enjoyable aspects of our lives.
Bruce Cook, M.A., C. Psych. Assoc.
My counselling approach to anxiety and stress is identifying the anxiety-provoking thoughts that may be troubling the client. It is crucial to also identify any accompanying fears and related behaviours that may be problematic for the individual. I usually utilize relaxation, thought stopping and some hypnotherapy to address a client's anxiety. For stress, i usually provide suggestions for alternative coping mechanisms so that stress can be managed effectively.

Anxiety and Stress are triggered when individuals and families do not alleviate the excess "energy" through some means. Physical expenditure of the anxiety and emotional arousal are thought to be necessary in achieving homeostasis. Balance between all energies, thoughts, and feelings will create peace. With the realization that you are "Off Balance" I will facilitate your journey to balance and wellness. This state of ultimate peace will come through seeking sources of anxiety and stress, and strategizing solutions to those that can be fixed, and seeking acceptance for others. Love and Peace can diminish Stress levels. Spiritual healing is wise for this avenue of resiliency to stress and anx

When we find ourselves in over our heads in our life situation, our anxiety can immobilize us. We are afraid of where we are and afraid of the changes that seem required. We can be overwhelmed with all that we are trying to balance and can't imagine how to get out from under, as each stressor feels immovable. We focus on those pressures, and on the beliefs that we have lived by that keep us from managing ourselves and giving us permission to find calm and rest and focus. We learn strategies for calming ourselves when we are "stressed out" .
Jothi Ramesh, M.S.W (equiv), R.S.W
Anxiety and stress are very common in this day and age. We are more aware of severe anxiety reactions but do not pay attention to the negative impact of everyday stressors. It is important to understand how stress affects us and ways to deal with stress in an effective way. In my sessions I help clients understand the physiology of stress, use breathing techniques to combat stress and help them deal with stress by bringing more awareness to the body and the mind thus having long lasting ways for stress and anxiety management.
Sophia Kahill, Ph.D., C.Psych.
Anxiety, panic and worry not only feel terrible, they can also restrict people's lives, limiting their activities and at times those of their families. Anxiety can also spread, over time affecting more areas of life and shrinking people's worlds as they avoid possible triggers of their anxiety. Short-term structured therapies can teach clients skills to manage and reduce their anxiety, and to build more productive reactions to stress. Cognitive therapy can help curb negative thinking that feeds anxiety. Some clients may choose a longer-term insight-oriented therapy to explore the roots of their anxiety and resolve it. Or an integrated, eclectic therapy approach may work best.
Ann Matson, B.A. Sc. B ED. OCT, OACCPP
Anxiety and stress are more prominent than ever in our society. Anxiety can impair a person to the extent that they cannot function normally or complete tasks. Stress also has a direct and significant impact on the body. Both conditions have been known to inhibit behaviors and opportunities. As one of the top trainers of a very well respected Anxiety program, I can assist with many types of anxiety including separation anxiety, performance anxiety or general day to day anxiety. Know that whatever type of anxiety, it can be fixed using this program’s very effective methods and tools. During the sessions, the client will learn how to look at stressful situations in a different way or throug....

Stress is a normal part of life. People experience anxiety when they feel unable to cope with the stressors they are facing. This may result from low self esteem, traumatic experiences, difficulty with relationships or life circumstances. Counseling will help you identify what triggers your anxiety, more effective ways of approaching difficult circumstances, and how to increase your resilience.

I believe that we all struggle with anxiety and stress at different points in our lives. Sometimes it feels under control and at other times anxiety and/or stress can take over our entire lives causing both physical and psychological symptoms that are uncomfortable, debilitating and even impact our relationships or work lives. I will work with you to try to understand where the anxiety and stress are stemming from. This experience of being deeply understood can often bring about a sense of relief and comfort. I will also work with you to notice the physical indicators that arise and we will work together to find strategies to alleviate these symptoms to help you live your life more fully.
Iris Benrubi, M.A.
Do you get stressed easily? Is your anxiety limiting your activities? Do you find that fear is interfering with you doing the things you really love? If you find that your emotions are controlling you and your actions, psychotherapy can help you take charge of your life. Through gentle support and learning new skills, you can command of your life and live a life that is courageous, connected and truly fulfilling.
Ariella Boehm, MACP, OACCPP
Anxiety and stress can take a toll on one’s life. It can cause physical and mental harm. There’s no reason to live like that. First you need to determine whether medication may alleviate some of your anxious thoughts. If medication doesn’t resonate with you that’s understandable, you still have many options. I teach a set of underlying principles that are the foundation for all the other skills you may have been taught. These principles focus on the ability for everyone, regardless of their mental health, to create a reality that is conducive to inner peace and harmony. You will learn that your thoughts create your mood and it’s not the other way around.
Ganga Daryanani, R.S.W.
My method for relieving anxiety and stress is by first exploring whether they are related to: unresolved issues from childhood, situational circumstances, or negative/distorted thoughts. After exploring the root cause, I apply different modalities like Focusing (see website under Focusing www.holisticcounsel.com) to resolve the issues permanently. Focusing is a way to relax the body through guided commentary, after which we explore, still in the relaxed state, what the core issue is. I guide the client on how to resolve the core issue, or view it from another angle. The exercise goes deep into the mind and makes permanent changes. The client gets a new insight and a sense of relief.

Stress and anxiety is overwhelming and permeates each part of a person’s life. Using cognitive behavioural therapy to address both of these issues is a successful and sustainable way to improve your quality of life. Right now you may feel out of control and unable to cope - but let me assure you you can make a change. Face anxiety and stress head on and make the necessary changes to to get your life back on track.
Anna Toth, M.Sc., RMFT, Approved Supervisor
I can offer a clear route through anxiety to help you get to calmer place. Initially we may use grounding and breath-work techniques to achieve immediate relief, followed by EMDR or another trauma-clearing modality to begin to break down the roots of the anxiety. Ultimately though, I work with you to hear what the anxiety has to say to you about the kind of life you want to live, and about what actually matters most to you.
Jemila Laws, MSW,RSW
Are you often worried? Do you experience panic attacks? Do you always put the needs of others before your own? You may benefit from receiving information about why you become stressed or anxious, and how to minimize or prevent that from happening. My approach to anxiety and stress is that when we change particular behaviours, and thoughts, our moods will follow. You may also benefit from exploring your exercise and eating habits, which often affect our anxiety and stress levels.

Anxiety has a purpose - once you understand it you can benefit from it. The feeling of anxiety is giving you information about who you are and what you need to do to be yourself. In counselling, you can learn how to process anxiety instead of fearing it. You can learn specific skills to work through anxiety; and gain an ability to attend to your emotions. You can learn from them and in the process find a more colourful and rich, positive experience of life.
Karl Edmond, M.Div. (Counselling)
I use practical and solution focused methods to help clients understand how to manage stress and anxiety. Sometimes anxiety and stress can feel like a stereo at full blast telling us all that could go wrong and that we are doing wrong. Together we will explore how we can turn down the volume and learn to allow anxiety and stress to help us move forward not hold us back.

Anxiety and stress is increasingly a part of our day to day lives. Sometimes it becomes too much for us to handle however and we find ourselves functioning at a lower level, experiencing panic attacks, and perhaps even becoming stuck - feeling paralyzed to make any decisions or do anything. Engaging in therapy can help you to reduce and cope with the anxiety and stress in your life. It can help you to lead a more satisfying and meaningful life.
Amelia Perri, RN, BScN, MC
Anxiety and stress can be consuming and prevent people from living their fullest lives. I offer practical treatment to help people learn to manage and reduce feelings of anxiety for a more peaceful day to day life in which emotions and fears do not take over. Clients learn to challenge and reduce their anxiety with my support and guidance and learn calming techniques, thought challenging, and emotion management. Learning healthy ways to cope with stressful situations is also a priority. There are both physical, mental, and emotional benefits to managing and reducing stress and anxiety, e.g., reduced blood pressure, reduced muscle tension and aches, a sense of calmness, confidence, and so on.
Ed Santana, MA, Psychotherapist
Anxiety and stress can cause significant hardships on physical health, relationships, and work. Suddenly, the joy can be gone from life without realizing it. The root causes of anxiety and stress are not usually conscious and it takes time to fully recognize, address, and change underlying issues. In counselling or therapy, the first step is working to become more conscious of the impacts of chronic stress and anxiety. This work is followed by unearthing deeply held ideas that tend to control everyday life. Inevitably, anxiety and stress are symptoms that something deeper wants to be addressed or healed and this work can be a profound gateway to a more fulfilling and joyful life.
