Anxiety Treatment

Anxiety is a helpful emotion that warns us of danger and gives us the energy to get to safety. Unfortunately, sometimes the alarm bells can get confused and start going off when there isn't really a threat. At times, anxiety itself becomes the very source of our distress, and we find ourselves locked in a struggle with our own emotions. The good news is, just like any other emotion, anxiety comes and goes. And with the right tools and support, we can learn to manage it together, helping you feel more at ease and in control.

The good news: we know anxiety treatment works. Studies have consistently demonstrated significant reductions in anxiety symptoms and improvements in overall functioning among individuals who participate in therapy.

Because the human brain wants to avoid pain, we typically deal with our anxiety by avoiding the things that stress us out, distracting ourselves with things like TV, using substances, and trying to talk ourselves out of the worry. While these are natural strategies that help us feel relief in the moment, the anxiety usually comes back stronger than ever.  Can you relate?

At Everworth, we help you to recognize and break free of these patterns that have you stuck in a cycle of worry. Instead, we use a combination of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)  to dive deep into where the anxiety comes from and why your body is on high-alert, and to teach you how relate to the anxiety in a whole new way.

• You'll have a space to share how anxiety is impacting your life 
• We'll look into the history of the anxiety, and any events that have shaped the worry
• We'll talk about how you learned to relate to emotions as a child and what that taught you about how to regulate your emotions today 
• We'll identify the things that have been working for you, and make sense of the things that haven't 
• You'll learn the skills and tools you need to continue engaging in the life you want to be living, even when anxiety is present
