Somatic & Nervous System Regulation
Breathing, grounding, mindfulness, and neuroscience-informed tools to calm physiological responses.

FAQ
1. How do I know if my anxiety is “severe enough” for therapy?
If your worry, stress, or panic is affecting sleep, relationships, work, or your ability to enjoy life—therapy can help. You don’t need a diagnosis to start.
​
2. What is the best treatment for panic attacks?
CBT combined with exposure work and nervous-system regulation has the strongest research support. We tailor treatment based on your comfort level.
3. Does avoidance really make anxiety worse?
Yes. Avoidance temporarily reduces fear, but it strengthens anxiety over time. Therapy helps you break that cycle safely and gradually.
4. Do you help with driving anxiety or fear after an accident?
Yes. We offer trauma-informed anxiety therapy for MVA and ICBC clients, including return-to-driving readiness and exposure.
5. Can therapy help if medication isn’t working?
Absolutely. Therapy can complement medication or serve as a standalone treatment. Many clients benefit from combining both.
6. Do you offer online sessions across Canada?
Yes. We offer secure video therapy in Ontario, Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan.
7. Will therapy give me tools I can use immediately?
Yes—most clients begin using practical anxiety-regulation tools within the first 1–2 sessions.
8. I feel ashamed about my anxiety. Is therapy judgment-free?
Completely. Anxiety is extremely common and highly treatable. Our therapists provide a supportive, respectful space.
