Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Mississauga, ON.

Feeling stressed and anxious are normal reactions to too much pressure, lack of control and not knowing how to cope with a situation. Sometimes emotions are overwhelming when challenges persist, and if they seem to block you from living a positive and satisfying life, you might wish to seek help. Sometimes we think ourselves into stress and anxiety by worrying about what MIGHT happen, but stress and anxiety can also be triggered by events, such as trauma or certain medications. Please allow me to help you understand your stress situation and find manageable solutions to reduce your sensation of pressure and anxiety. 905-842-3626

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.

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.

Anxiety feeds on fear and needs to be confronted, appropriately and safely, with relaxation techniques, new perceptions and constructive thinking patterns. A counsellor can help you do this.
