Anxiety Counselling in Vancouver
Anxiety is a burden, but not one you must carry alone.
Anxiety is the most common and treatable of all mental health disorders and is the most common reason why people attend our Downtown Vancouver therapy office.
You can treat your anxiety, find peace and become a more confidently assertive person. We are anxiety therapists in Vancouver, and we empower our clients to live with confidence.
Common Symptoms and Signs of Anxiety
- Shortness of breath.
- Heart palpitation or chest pain.
- Trembling or shaking.
- Sweating.
- Ruminating or obsessing.
- Muscle tensions, fatigue or weakness.
Many factors may contribute to your anxiety
It can be frustrating when others dismiss your worries or tell you to “calm down” or “there is nothing to worry about.”
It is impossible to simply eliminate anxiety by avoiding it; you must learn how to change your relationship with it. Chronic or intense anxiety can end when addressed properly with the help of a therapist.
Anxiety therapy helps break the cycle of avoidance by teaching clients how to face their fears directly.
Our Vancouver anxiety therapists are passionate about helping you regain control.
