Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Owen Sound, ON.

The Men’s & Woman's Group at New Life Potentials is a “here and now” process educational/therapy group that provides an opportunity for men to support and mentor each other. To become more empowered in their personal, professional, and relational lives. It is a confidential, safe and supportive environment where men can find understanding and encouragement. Through therapeutically guided interactions amongst group members, as well as intensive self-exploration, introspection and reflection, participants have an opportunity to develop the tools to better manage the areas in their lives that are ‘stuck’ or in ‘crisis’. The "authentic life" is one that is free of stress and anxiety.

In life, we face various stressors and there are times when we may feel anxious, overwhelmed, or helpless. Finding a way to calm the body and mind can be difficult, regardless of whether this is a new struggle or one you have been dealing with for years. I believe that therapy can be a safe container in which stress and anxiety can be explored and worked through. Should you reach out for help, I will work with you to help you better understand how stress and anxiety impact you and I will also help you to develop coping strategies that may invite more calmness and that may support you in feeling empowered.

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

Anxiety and stress can show up in many ways, racing thoughts, physical tension, overthinking, or constant worry, and can make it hard to feel present or at ease. In our work together, I provide a safe, calming space where clients can slow down, better understand their triggers, and learn tools to manage overwhelming feelings. Using approaches like CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy, I help clients challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build coping strategies, and reconnect with their inner strengths. The goal is not only to reduce distress but also to create more balance, confidence, and peace of mind in daily life.
