Anxiety Therapy in Toronto

There is a difference between occasional "nervous butterflies" and living in near-constant distress over "what might happen."

If you often feel disproportionately nervous, worried, or fearful, and find yourself jumping straight to worst-case scenarios, the issue may go deeper than everyday stress.

Common Signs and Examples of Anxiety

Anxiety can show up very differently from person to person, but here are a few of the common forms that anxiety can take:

Anxiety or panic attacks
Phobias and specific fears
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Discomfort in social situations (social anxiety)
A persistent sense of dread or unease (generalized anxiety)
Feeling jumpy or on edge much of the time
Believing that catastrophic events are imminent or inevitable
Difficulty relaxing because it feels like “the other shoe is about to drop”

How Therapy Can Help with Anxiety

Psychotherapy can help you understand the underlying drivers of your anxiety and develop practical tools to manage it more effectively. Evidence-based approaches commonly used to treat anxiety include: Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based strategies, and Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP).
