Therapy for anxiety
Takeaway: If you frequently feel overwhelmed by worry or fear, anxiety counselling can provide you with effective strategies to feel more grounded and in control of your day-to-day life. While occasional anxiety is a normal part of being human, constant feelings of stress, fear, or panic can interfere with your daily life. Stress and anxiety management therapy can empower you to break free from fear and regain balance in your life.
Anxiety Symptoms
If you're struggling to regain control of anxiety's grip, our Calgary therapists specialize in anxiety treatment and stress management therapy to empower you toward a more fulfilling life. Therapy for anxiety isn't just about understanding your anxiety disorder—it's about reclaiming calm, clarity, and confidence.
Anxiety isn't just a mental battle; it manifests physically too. Common anxiety symptoms include a pounding heart, shortness of breath, sweating, stomach upset, insomnia, and muscle tension, all of which can intensify the challenges you face.
Constant worry, edginess, and tension may dominate your days, making it challenging to rationalize your concerns. You're not alone. It's easy to feel like anxiety dictates your life, hindering your ability to engage fully in what you want to do and limiting your choices. Perhaps it's interfering with your relationships, work, or family responsibilities.
We tailor our anxiety counselling services to meet your individual needs. Whether you're dealing with panic attacks, performance anxiety, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, perfectionism, or depression, our counselling for anxiety is designed to help you develop effective coping strategies and reduce the intensity of anxiety attacks.
At Shelly Qualtieri and Associates, our team of dedicated anxiety therapists is here to support you. We understand that seeking help can be daunting, but you're not alone. We're currently welcoming new clients and offering a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation. Take the first step toward managing your anxiety and reclaiming control over your life—reach out to us today for expert anxiety therapy in Calgary.
Anxiety is a natural response to perceived danger or unpredictability, creating feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness. Anxiety often brings overwhelming worry, fear, or apprehension, accompanied by physical symptoms like increased heart rate, muscle tension, and restlessness. Racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, irritability, fatigue, and sleep disturbances can further compound the challenges of anxiety. Recognizing these signs is the first step toward seeking professional support to manage and alleviate anxiety symptoms, promoting overall mental well-being.
Anxiety Therapy and Treatment: Our Approach
Taking gradual steps is an important part of effective anxiety treatment. Begin today, persist tomorrow, and expand your comfort zone until discomfort becomes familiar. Understanding why our thoughts spiral during anxious moments is helpful for adults and teens experiencing anxiety symptoms. When our brain perceives a threat, it prioritizes speed over accuracy, leading to cognitive biases like personalizing or catastrophizing potential outcomes, which are common in anxiety disorders.
Recognizing these cognitive biases is key to diffusing their power. By familiarizing ourselves with common thought patterns associated with anxiety and panic attacks, we gain the ability to challenge them by exploring alternative perspectives to mitigate anxiety's impact on our thoughts and behaviors.

FAQs about working with an anxiety therapist in Calgary
-
There are many different ways to find a therapist. You can ask your family physician for a referral, check with your insurance company, do a simple Google search, or ask friends for their recommendations.
There is no real way to know whether a therapist will be a good fit until you actually speak with them. A therapist could have all of the qualifications you want and seem great on paper, but the connection is a sort of "x factor" you cannot necessarily research ahead of time. We realize that this can be anxiety-provoking in and of itself.

If you find yourself worrying about a lot of things, it's hard for you to control or stop the worry, and you find yourself caught up in fear and uncertainty or struggling with depression.
Consider seeking anxiety counselling if you experience persistent feelings of worry, fear, or unease that interfere with your daily life, relationships, or overall well-being. If your anxiety symptoms impact your ability to function, disrupt daily activities, or cause significant distress, consulting with a mental health professional can help determine if anxiety counselling is a beneficial course of action.
