Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Cantley, QC.

In my Anxiety & Stress Treatment, I employ a blend of effective therapeutic methods to help you reframe thoughts, embrace experiences, and stay grounded. Together, we work towards cultivating resilience and inner peace, guiding you through the challenges of anxiety towards greater insight and well-being. With personalized strategies tailored to your unique needs, we aim to empower you in reclaiming a sense of calm and control in your life.

Anxiety can consume a person's life, making it unbearable. I aim to help you learn to understand how your thoughts contribute to anxiety symptoms. By learning to change those thought patterns, you will learn how to reduce the likelihood and intensity of anxiety symptoms. Using behavioural therapy, you will learn techniques to reduce undesired behaviours associated with anxiety disorders. You will learn to manage your anxiety when situations provoke anxiety and how to manage and thrive in spite of the expectation of anxiety.

When our sense of self is threatened we respond by experiencing anxiety. In verbalizing our anxiety we begin to see our reality with more clarity. We consider the beliefs and events on which we base our reality and examine our protective strategies and the consequences of our choices. We learn to expand our reality so as to include various helpful factors that we earlier omitted and that will better allow us to manage our stress and anxiety.

Anxiety is like a constant churning of worry and self-doubt. It may push us away from social activities, isolate us in our homes, identify fearful objects and preoccupy us with order and routine. It may even leave us terrified and thinking we are losing our minds. These and other presentations of anxiety require attention and care. The earlier we attend to the demands of anxiety, the sooner we can begin to become free of it. Stress is different, although it feels the same at times. Your care needs to be tailored to the specifics of what you are experiencing. I practice Integrated Therapy, which offers a selective approach to using all the tools and forms of counselling available to help you.

At my practice, I take a personalized and holistic approach to anxiety and stress treatment and counseling. I understand that anxiety and stress can manifest in different ways for each individual, and I work with my clients to identify the underlying causes and triggers of their symptoms. Together, we develop coping mechanisms, stress reduction techniques, and mindfulness strategies to help manage and alleviate their anxiety and stress. I also incorporate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based practices to help clients reframe negative thought patterns and develop a more positive mindset. By working together, clients can learn to manage their anxiety and stress and achie

It's critical to understand that, even if you suffer from panic attacks, compulsive thoughts, ongoing worry, or a phobia, you don't have to live in fear and anxiety. In many cases, therapy is the most effective strategy to handle anxiety-related problems. Therapy gives you the skills and teaches you how to use them to overcome anxiety. If stress is not managed, it can become chronic stress and ultimately lead to burnout. While burnout leaves people feeling completely exhausted and unmotivated to keep going, stress often results in people feeling overwhelmed. Therapy provides coping mechanisms for stress symptoms, which may help to avoid burnout.

Helping client's understand what the difference is between stress and anxiety. Helping them identify what is causing them anxiety and what stressors they may be able to eliminate from their lives. Offering clients a variety of strategies to cope with stress and anxiety --- exploring healthy lifestyle habits, work-life balance possibilities, learning to say no and setting appropriate boundaries, self-care, CBT strategies (such as using a thought record), mindfulness strategies (deep breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation), etc.

Are you feeling stressed, exhausted, burned out, and run down? Have you been exposed to stress and trauma through your work as a front-line healthcare professional? Our biological bodies and brains were not designed for the types of financial, cultural, social, and relational stressors we live with today. I see anxiety as a reminder to start listening to our body, our mind, and spirit. I can help you with Mindfulness-based stress reduction and self-care approaches to guide you toward a more peaceful, meaningful, and fulfilling life.

anxiety and stress is the natural way in which our body reacts to events, to the unknown of future events. What would need to do is to identify what are those triggers that cause the anxiety and stress, as well as what is beneath those triggers. Once doing this it will be important to learn how to learn to deal with them and even if possible through the process of therapy cancel the triggers causing the anxiety.

Sandra Forbes, Relationship Solutions provides a sensitive, caring, supportive environment conducive to decreasing anxiety. Triggers and ensuing thoughts are examined as are the emotions and physical feelings they induce. Cognitive and behavioural practices are designed that help reduce anxiety. Reflection on some of the underlying causes is worthwhile in some situations. Sensitive exploration of this issues is available at a pace that is determined by the client. We work with medical professionals as appropriate.

Anxiety and Stress are both life and living challenges. They are part of the normal obstacles we face in our lifetime, be it in health, in illness, in marriage, in couple and relationship issues, in aging and with our children. The thoughts, feelings and behaviors associated with them can often overwhelm and even paralyze us when they occur. In a supportive and empathic environment I help people understand and demystify these feelings and find coping strategies so that they can overcome these crippling experiences in order to live productively again.

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.

Anxiety is a fear based position stemming from a lack of control. There are varying degrees of anxiety, from day-to-day worries and stress all the way to life-altering, debilitating suffering. I can help you gain a healthy sense of self-control over your invasive thoughts and overwhelming emotions. At the same time, I will gently guide you to a deeper place of trust and dependancy upon the Lord. Anxiety and stress no longer need to rule your life - it is time to gain back the peace and authority that is rightfully yours!

In working with clients on their anxiety and stress I primarily aim to promote understanding: understanding of why we are feeling so anxious and stressed, what factors contribute, what can be done to better manage or eliminate anxiety and stress from our lives, and most importantly, how to eliminate ambiguity from our lives. I specialize in working with clients on their stress and anxiety, whether it stems from work, relationships, family, trauma, lifestyle, or beliefs. It is only through understanding that we can promote comprehensive and meaningful change in our lives. I utilize principles of cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused work, and psychodynamics in my work.

If you are struggling with anixety and distress, you are likely aligning with the "hustle for your worthiness, acceptance and belonging" culture we live in, and not in alignment with the true nature, gifts, and needs of who you are. I work with you to explore and identify the distressing story and patterns that you are in, and help you to identify and step into the story you want to be living, that is more aligned with who you are and what you feel most called to do and be in life. I also provide tools to help you better overcome the thought patterns and beliefs that obscure you from your wisdom, and help you to focus on and nurture the beliefs that support optimal wellness.

For anxiety and fears, a multimodal approach will be used with cognitive behavioural therapy and narrative. It will facilitate the identification of the anxiety or fears while creating a preferred narrative surrounding it. The benefits of using the combination of these two approach is that it will allow for an alternative perspective and to better understand what one is thinking and feeling.

Anxiety and stress can affect all aspects of our lives. It can impact our mood, self-esteem, relationships, and our day-to-day functioning. It can be quite overwhelming, and so many people are struggling, especially in this fast-paced & tumultuous world we're living in! In therapy, we'll work together to figure out the root cause of what's making you stressed & anxious, and make a plan to heal and engage tools for coping. This will help reduce your distress, find balance in life, and reconnect with feelings of joy and calm.

While anxiety and stress in certain levels can be a positive experience, anxiety and stress that negatively impacts our lives can make us feel trap and helpless. While treatment examines the historic causes/patterns of anxiety, clients are immediately given tools so that they are better equipped to manage their anxiety from the onset of therapy. Once the anxiety is manageable, other areas of the clients past and life are explored that are serving to create, maintain, and aggravate the anxiety. At the end of treatment, clients can expect to experience a renewed sense of calm, peace, and contentment as they begin living the life they want to live.

In my experience, the combination of schema therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an effective approach to dealing with anxiety. This method digs deeper than CBT alone and brings forth insights that guide us to specific stress and anxiety management priorities tailored to your needs. This is an amplified form of CBT that will open a new door to your recovery.

Evidence-based techniques can help immediately and following initial relief we can explore the role of the ego in your experience of anxiety. There is help available. Let's work on this together.
