Anxiety Counselling 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.

There are many options for clients to consider when it comes to treating anxiety. Most people who suffer from anxiety are able to reduce or eliminate symptoms; many notice improvement after just a few sessions. Cognitive-behavioural therapy is a very effective option for people suffering from varying types of anxiety or other mental health disorders.

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.
