Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Nipissing, ON.

Anxiety and stress are very prevalent in our society. Clients will have the opportunity to learn techniques and coping mechanisms that will support the reduction of stress and anxiety. They will also have the opportunity to develop a self care routine that can support a healthier, more resilient lifestyle. While learning these strategies and tools, clients will be encouraged to approach themselves and their struggles with self compassion.

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

Low levels of anxiety can motivate us to accomplish goals and perform at our best. As the level of experienced anxiety creeps higher, it robs us of our joy and can make us feel overwhelmed resulting in either inactivity or a compulsion to be overactive yet not experiencing any lasting relief. Our sense of internal peace and calm is replaced by perpetual overthinking and fear. Let's work together to gain insight into the root cause of your anxiety so that we are able to empower you to reclaim your experience of joy and a sense of internal calm.

I love working with people who wrestle with anxiety and stress, I love it because of the difference I witness in the lives and experiences of my clients. Employing a blend of mindfulness, somatic experiencing and neuroscience (polyvagal) techniques, the felt experience of anxiety can be managed in an entirely new way for you, and can lead to profound change in your life. I can not make it so that you never feel anxious again, but we can work to help you learn what to do when you experience the familiar sensations of anxiety, so that it doesn't take over your thoughts, body and life.

Anxiety can make it hard to breathe, focus, or even sleep. Those sleepless nights and racing thoughts can leave you feeling trapped in your own mind. At Pro Q Therapy, we help you break that cycle with compassion and evidence-based care. Our therapists—experienced in hospital and forensic settings—understand how stress affects both body and mind. Using CBT, DBT, EMDR, and IFS-informed therapy, we teach you how to calm your nervous system, manage intrusive thoughts, and restore balance. Together, we’ll help you find steady ground, so you can finally rest, recharge, and feel in control again.

I help clients reduce overwhelm and manage anxiety by exploring triggers and developing practical coping strategies. Through our work, clients gain calm, clarity, and a greater sense of control over their thoughts, emotions, and daily life. Therapy with me helps people feel more balanced, centered, and capable of handling life’s challenges with resilience and confidence.

Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.
