Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Amherstburg, ON.

This destructive cycle of fear, anxiety and panic attacks move in a circular fashion, one triggering the other. Often times, the person suffering from personality issues often identify anxiety as the major source of their distress. It seems that, for whatever reason, most people find it easier to admit to feeling anxious as opposed to being angry, controlling or being traumatized. Fear, anxiety and panic attacks have deeper psychological root that a lot of people just can't resolve. Consequently their lives are controlled by fear and anxiety. Robert Goulard Counseling Service is fully trained to handle all the issues surrounding problems with anxiety, stress and panic attacks.

Anxiety and stress can make your world feel smaller and your body feel permanently on edge. The good news is that they respond well to treatment.

I have been a psychologist since 1986, and I can help. I am based in Calgary and see clients across Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick by secure video.

Anxiety and stress is a very common reason why people seek therapy. Together we will discover the reasons why you are having difficulty with stress/anxiety and work collaboratively and at your own pace in order to alleviate symptoms. I work with each client using various therapeutic techniques, such as Mindfulness-Base CBT, Expressive Art, Brainspotting and EMDR (Eye Movenment Desensitization & Reprocessing).

Anxiety is a normal and expected reaction to stress. In small doses, anxiety and worry can help protect us from danger. However, persistent and invasive anxiety can result in feelings of panic, worry and debilitating fears. Long-term anxiety can lead to physical symptoms in your body such as feeling worn down, fatigue and other physical manifestations. I can help bring your anxiety to a more manageable level and empower you to gain some control over your anxious thoughts.

Anxiety prevents you from being present and puts you in a position where you are either ruminating about the past or worrying about the future. In the moment, it can feel impossible to get out of it, and one cannot simply snap out of it. Similarly, stress can permeate multiple aspects of your life. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as mindfulness exercises to help you manage your anxiety. Eventually, we would also work together to understand why the anxiety shows up and how we can address the original source. Reach out today to book a free consultation.

Stress and anxiety is a part of everyone's day to day lives. However, when it becomes difficult to function due to loss of sleep, change in appetite, panic attacks, upset stomach, aches & pains, etc. therapy can be most beneficial. I use various relaxation techniques, deep breathing, mindfulness meditation, as well as talk therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques (addressing self defeating automatic thinking patterns which effect our mood and behavior). I can teach you how to manage unpleasant symptoms related to stress and anxiety.

Stress and anxiety includes a wide range of psychological conditions, such as generalized anxiety, social anxiety, specific phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic, and post traumatic stress disorder. Research demonstrates that psychotherapy is extremely effective at treating stress and anxiety. Within sessions, I emphasize on using psycho-education to help clients understand the nature of anxiety and why people develop anxiety. As a CBT and DBT practitioner, we will examine the relationship between thoughts and anxiety so that your life is not limited or restricted by anxiety symptoms. I will help you learn ways to successfully deal with anxiety, such as relaxation and mindfulness.
