While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they don’t treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people don’t believe it or you! Imagine if you can trick the brain into changing without you telling your conscious mind that you are changing it? Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists.

Most people do not like feeling anxious or stressed. People are not saying I am glad to be stressed or anxious. What do we do when this happens. We need to process it and for most people counselling is a place for processing. Along with processing stress and anxiety comes a deeper longing to to be heard and validated and to sometimes be given new skills or strategies. What ever you need whether an ear to listen, heart to understand or ideas for coping with it I can provide it in comfortable environment.

Our therapists have extensive experience working with mental health issues, such as anxiety, OCD, social anxiety and panic. Stress and anxiety are the most common problems in our modern world and manifests as either over functioning (perfectionism) or under functioning (procrastination). We feel that anxiety is at it’s core an adaptive neurological reactions to threat. It’s an early alarm system that allows us to stay safe. However, this adaptive system gets hijacked and the alarm starts going off all the time. We draw on both bottom up (relaxation exercises, grounding and mindfulness) and top down (cognitive restructuring) approaches to working with anxiety.
