Our Approach to Supporting Anxiety

Understand Anxiety
We begin by exploring how worry, tension, and panic are experienced in your body and daily life. Identifying these patterns can reduce distress and help us collaboratively set clear, meaningful goals for therapy.

CBT Skills
You’ll be introduced to Cognitive-Behavioural strategies such as thought tracking, gradual exposure exercises, and breathwork to help manage anxious thoughts and support nervous system regulation between sessions.
EMDR Processing
When past experiences contribute to present-day anxiety, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can help process and reduce the emotional intensity of those memories, making current triggers feel more manageable.

Lasting Resilience
We incorporate mindfulness practices, sleep strategies, and movement routines to support lasting change, helping you carry the benefits of therapy into your daily life.
