Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Vancouver, BC.

I help clients dealing with anxiety and stress by using CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness based approaches. I help clients develop awareness and insight around the way they think to then create change in their thinking. Thoughts, Behaviours, and Emotions are all interconnected and drive each person's experience of an event and of themselves. By changing one, we change the other two. I help clients do this while pairing their thoughts with mindfulness based strategies to soothe their stress and anxiety.

Anxiety is what you have instead of feeling your shame, fear, powerlessness or loneliness. Anxiety is a state of mind, it’s not really an emotion. It’s a call from your heart and mind that is saying “listen to me, I’m struggling with difficult emotions and/or memories. I need you to attend to me. Until you do so, I’ll keep you worrying, obsessing ruminating, and panicking”. As a long time expert in stress and anxiety, I can help you understand very clearly the cause and the root of your symptoms, and show you how to heal through my 8 week Anxiety & Stress Relief Program. See my website for details.

Few of us can get through life in this fast-paced society without experiencing anxiety and/or stress. Unfortunately, it almost becomes a norm. However, there are times when these feelings become overwhelming such that you losing sleep, find it hard to concentrate, are spending a lot of time re-living or 'pre-living' events in your life...spinning wheels that aren't taking you anywhere. Let me help you discover solutions that will help battle your fear (because that's what it is, after all), so you can get back to living the life you want for yourself.

Anxiety and stress are not reserved for the adults of our world. Many children experience the debilitating effects of negative stress at home, school and socially. While positive stress is essential to get us moving every day, too much negative stress may lead to physical and emotional distress. Increases in career demands, job loss, marital issues, the loss of a loved one, a new relationship, a recent move, scholastic demands, bullying, the birth of a child or caring for ill or elderly family members may elevate one's stress level to the unmanageable. Together, we will endeavor to help you (or your child) manage and overcome the effects of negative stress with effective tools.

If you are looking for natural methods of coping with anxiety and stress, therapy can benefit you in many ways. 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.

We all suffer from anxiety at some point in our lives and stress is one of the most common things that causes clients to seek therapy. It is when anxiety and/or stress becomes so severe that it begins to impact our lives in negative ways that this becomes problematic. I will use a variety of approaches to help you feel better. The first step is to identify and talk about what is bringing you stress or anxiety. Sometimes it may be hard to pin point a reason and I am here to help you with that too. Some of my approaches to treating anxiety and/ or stress are: minfulness, active listening, cognitive behavourial therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, etc.

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.

Dr. Limbos will help develop an individual treatment plan for children with stress, anxiety, phobias, school refusal and related difficulties. Dr. Limbos will routinely administer questionnaires and interview the child and/or the family to determine if the child is suffering from anxiety. Treatment usually consists of weekly sessions for a minimum of 12 weeks but will be individualised for each child. Dr. Limbos uses a variety of treatment modalities, but typically begins using a cognitive behavioral approach.

According to Dr. Carl Jung, the amount of anxiety one experiences is equal to the degree of trauma one’s endured, but hasn’t processed. Anxiety is one way the unconscious gets our attention, and it’s seldom comfortable or easy. In therapy, we will explore the roots of your anxiety and work to transform your unconscious impulses into conscious awareness. People who outgrow anxiety experience an increased ability to manage stress, an expanded sense of emotional freedom, a greater sense of authenticity and cohesion, improved self-confidence, deeper and more fulfilling relationships with self and others.

Most of us suffer from anxiety and stress at some point in our lives. And we live with it. What if we didn't have to live with it? What if there was a way to alleviate it from our lives? What if it was a choice? Most of the stress and anxiety in our lives comes from our perspective of what is happening in our lives. This perspective is coming from us, and therefore it is possible to change it. I help clients do this through cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, meditation and other methods that enable them to become much more aware of their thoughts and the choices they have to think differently. There is no need to suffer. There is another way!

Do you suffer from Social Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, or another form of anxiety? I use a combination of approaches to support your efforts to reduce your distress, creating relief and hope. My therapeutic approach includes using the tools of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, a highly effective clinically proven short term approach, along with Mindfulness Therapy and Relaxation techniques.

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.
