Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Beaverton, ON.

Don't let your life be ruled by anxiety and stress when there are effective and proven psychotherapy treatments that can help. I specialize in providing Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for anxiety, worry, stress, and anxiety related disorders. I have seen many individuals begin to feel a sense of relief and calmness in their lives after treatment.

Anxiety can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or constantly on edge. You might notice racing thoughts, tension in your body, or trouble relaxing. Together, we take time to understand where your anxiety comes from and what keeps it going. With support, understanding, and self-awareness, you can feel calmer, more grounded, and better able to face situations that once felt overwhelming. Clients often notice improved confidence, reduced stress, and the ability to manage their thoughts and emotions more effectively.

Fear is a situational-based, positive emotion that prepares us for a sudden and unexpected external event. Since fear is such a common emotion, its presence can often go from being connected to a specific experience (a baby crying, a car horn blowing) to something omnipresent and an overwhelming sense of anxiousness. Anxiety can cause us to feel shame, guilt, and worry because we do not believe we can stand up to the concerns that have brought it into our lives. Psychotherapy is a safe place to explore the causes of shame, guilt, worry, and anxiety. If you are ready to unpack your worry bag, I am here to help! Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Stress and anxiety when present within healthy limits can stimulate, motivate, challenge, warn and activate our bodies to react accordingly to the situation. When it's too much, too intense and for too long, stress and anxiety lead to poor functioning, impairment and exhaustion resulting in stress and anxiety overload, contributing heavily to triggering anxiety disorders. In my therapy, I use therapeutic approaches and techniques that help reduce stress and anxiety and enhance the quality of your life and build your emotional resilience. You develop skills to minimize distress and maximize efficacy in many areas of your living and live life in a happier and healthier manner

Coping with stress can be normal for you, interfere with lifestyle and even become panic attacks. Having experienced anxiety, I can understand your struggle and offer practical suggestions for you. Recognizing signs of stress, learning new coping skills, and identitying your specific triggers are part of counselling. Action steps to cope with panic attacks may be helpful to you and those who support you. Retraining the brain with CBT and expressing emotions in a healthy way are counselling opportunities to reduce anxiety and stress in your life and relationships.

Anxiety and stress can be treated using a variety of techniques that look towards changing situations, thought patters, and behaviours that work to reduce both percieved and acutal stress/anxiety levels. Psychoeducation allows the client to obtain both the knowledge and skills that can be used to better manage stressors as they arise. As well, simply taking the time to vent your worries and concerns to an unbiased party can greatly help to immediatley reduce stress while allowing you to see the situation from a more realistic perspective.

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.

Anxiety and stress affect each of us a little differently, such as feeling on edge, irritability, tension, worry and many other reactions. Kindred Hope Wellness' team will collaborate with you to navigate these challenges and support you in your journey to cope with anxiety and stress.

Anxiety and stress can become utterly overwhelming. I will help you to uncover what is getting in the way of living your optimal life and to build new skills to manage it. Through the use of acceptance and mindfulness strategies I help clients to be fully present in the moment and to accept otherwise negative emotions. Commitment and behavior change strategies help clients to change or persist in behaviors more in line with their own values. Used together these strategies increase client’s psychological flexibility.
